Aave V4 now supports collateral swaps on 
Ethereum, Base and 
Avalanche, according to TronWeekly. Borrowers can exchange collateral supplied to a position without closing the associated loan, while retaining the ability to manage the position and its health factor.
The implementation is powered by CoW Protocol through Aave Pro and is described as a one-click feature. TronWeekly says the intended use cases include managing liquidation risk, rebalancing more quickly and adjusting collateral across markets without disrupting the borrower’s existing loan.
DeFiLlama data put Aave’s total value locked at $17.22 billion, representing a 2.2% decline over seven days. Activity across the supported networks also differed: Base held $3.03 billion in TVL, up 5.0% over seven days, while Avalanche held $140.74 million, up 2.9% over the same period.
The broader market backdrop was positive, with total crypto market capitalization at $2.76 trillion and 
Bitcoin up 5.26% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index stood at 50, classified as neutral. Ethereum traded at $2,420.35, up 7.68% over 24 hours and 4.99% over seven days; AAVE was $132.23, up 5.49% over 24 hours and 1.79% over seven days; and AVAX was $8.77, up 4.29% and 1.34% over those respective periods. The launch may matter for borrowers seeking faster collateral management, while the protocol’s falling seven-day TVL provides a measure of current on-chain positioning to watch.

The chart plots ETH's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 ETH ≈ ₹252,089.76 (about $2,423.94), up 6.4% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.9% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
