Aave Scam Sites: Fake Crypto Platforms Misusing the Aave Name

Aave is the name of a well-known decentralised lending protocol in the crypto market. That recognition gives fake sites a foundation: they use the name in phrases such as "Aave stake", "Aave yield pool" or "Aave wallet". In the last days of October 2026 the Aave name came up in a Telegram channel followed by Turkish forex victims, and it was added to our records.

🔍 The Difference Between the Real Protocol and a Fake Platform

The genuine Aave protocol is not a company that opens customer accounts, appoints representatives or phones people; it also has no legal entity in Türkiye. An account that introduces itself as the "Aave investment team" is a separate party using this name without permission. In Türkiye, providing crypto-asset services requires authorisation from SPK under Article 35/B of the Capital Markets Law.
