AI gets trading keys. Aave reopens. AERO changes its address.
Tria puts AI agents behind trade-only permissions, Aave restores access with collateral restrictions still attached, and Kraken prepares an Aero migration whose familiar ticker hides a new contract. Three different reasons to read past the reassuring headline.

The crown permits automation. It does not grant the robot good judgement.
Tria announced Agentic Trading on 30 October, connecting AI tools to perpetual-futures execution on Hyperliquid and Decibel through its Trade SDK. The company says dedicated keys permit supported trades but cannot withdraw funds. That separates trading authority from withdrawal authority; it does not make the strategy safe.
Aave said on 30 October that its V3 and V4 markets had been unfrozen following the Binance incident. Its update says Aave contracts were unaffected and positions remained collateralised. A separate precaution remains: nine named assets retain zero loan-to-value for new borrowing.
Kraken’s migration timetable put AERO deposits and withdrawals, plus VELODROME funding and trading, on pause from 14:00 UTC on 30 October. The exchange says AERO trading stays open as Aerodrome and Velodrome merge into Aero. The new token keeps the AERO ticker on Base but uses a new contract.
