DEXE +136% vs AAVE -9.3% Over 30 Days — Widest Same-Sector Governance-Token Split in the Index
DeXe (DEXE) and Aave (AAVE) are both DeFi governance tokens, yet their 30-day trajectories have diverged by 145 percentage points — the widest same-sector governance-token split visible in the current dataset. The move is not explained by sector tailwinds, as COMP (+32.9%) and LDO (+30.5%) are moving independently, pointing to a protocol-specific catalyst for DEXE.

Conclusion
DEXE 30d return = +136.03% ($6.135 → $14.482); AAVE 30d return = -9.32% ($111.62 → $101.22); spread = ~14,535 bps; COMP 30d = +32.91%; LDO 30d = +30.54%; DEXE 7d = +50.74%; AAVE 7d = +6.93%. DEXE's directional vol profile (moderate expansion vs AXL/DYDX) suggests the move is trend-driven rather than speculative noise. First edition to frame DEXE vs AAVE as a same-sector governance divergence.
