Aave Labs appears to be channeling approximately $200k weekly from CoW Swap fee revenues while also capturing undisclosed Horizon RWA income streams that flow through the DAO treasury. The token currently trades at roughly 21x earnings based on surface metrics, yet when you factor in Labs' actual revenue capture mechanisms, the effective P/E ratio balloons to somewhere between 63-81x. At $2.85 billion in market cap, the valuation essentially prices in DAO governance control that functionally doesn't materialize for token holders. Meanwhile, stakeholders like Stani have been accumulating position through $10m+ acquisitions. The disconnect between token utility and revenue capture models warrants closer examination of how these mechanisms actually distribute value across the ecosystem.

Wait, is Aave's PE really outrageous at 63-81x? It feels like it's pricing governance control, but token holders aren't really getting much out of it... This logic is a bit extreme.

Nah, this multiplier is obviously ridiculous. It feels like all of Aave's money has been eaten by Labs.

AAVE's PE really can't hold anymore, openly 21x but secretly 63-81x? That's hilarious, it's just ridiculous.

Wow, Aave's valuation approach is really outrageous. Token holders have truly become tools for harvesting profits.

Wait, can Aave's P/E really be inflated to 63-81 times? We need to take a closer look at these numbers.

Wait, is AAVE's PE really that outrageous? 63-81x, are you serious? It feels a bit exaggerated.
