Tenor OTC Adds AERO Collateral for Fixed-Rate Loans on Base
cryptobriefing.com reports that Tenor OTC, the bespoke lending arm of Tenor Finance, now accepts AERO as collateral for fixed-rate borrowing on Base. Powered by Morpho Midnight, this non-custodial platform allows borrowers and lenders to negotiate direct agreements rather than relying on shared liquidity pools. Users can define custom collateral assets, loan durations, and terms, with AERO serving as both a governance and rewards token for the Aerodrome DEX.
This addition enables holders to secure capital without selling their positions or losing their stake in the Aerodrome ecosystem. Tenor OTC launched on July 21, 2026, and has been expanding its supported collateral list since inception. The platform targets institutional audiences with features like auto-renewal, collateral-on-fill, early exit options, and gated offers.
Auto-renewal prevents manual position rolls, while collateral-on-fill locks assets only when matching lenders are found. Tenor Finance raised $2.5 million in a pre-seed round and partnered with Armitage and Clearstar to enhance quote quality.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for AERO, measured when this story was written up on 8 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
AERO is trading at $0.6180 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 52.1%, indicating a slight majority of buyers over sellers. However, shorter-term pressure shows divergence, with buy ratios dropping to 47.1% in the last hour and 48.2% over four hours. Volume delta reflects this shift, showing a net outflow of $24,710 in the past hour and $84,526 over four hours, compared to a net inflow of $413,049 over the full day. The buy ratio measures the proportion of buy volume relative to total volume, while volume delta tracks the net value of buys minus sells. While the 24-hour trend remains positive, the immediate hourly and four-hour data suggest buying momentum is currently fading.
The latest daily buy ratio of 52.9% sits at the 69th percentile of the last 91 days, against a median of 50.2% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for AERO, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, AERO experienced a 30.7% price increase with a 7-day average buy ratio of 50.6%. Today’s 24-hour buy ratio of 52.1% is 1.5 points above this weekly average, signaling slightly stronger buying interest than usual. Spot volume for the day reached $9,587,913, which is 4.41 times the weekly average volume, marking an unusually active trading day. Net buying occurred on four of the past seven days, contributing to a total volume delta of $984,565 over that period. This volume surge and elevated buy ratio suggest heightened institutional or whale interest compared to typical daily activity.
