bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that Aave’s Base market has accepted seven Coinbase stock tokens as collateral for USDC loans since Sept. 25, exposing stablecoin suppliers to a weekend pricing gap. Aave Labs announced on Sept. 25 that its V4 Equities Hub was operational after a temporary halt was lifted. This development allows lenders opting in to gain exposure to the specific risks associated with these stock tokens.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for USDC, measured when this story was written up on 28 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
USDC is trading at $1.00 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 52.2%, indicating a slight short-term preference for buyers. However, this momentum is fading, as the 4-hour buy ratio drops to 48.8% and the 24-hour ratio sits at 49.2%. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$5,373,193, suggesting immediate buying interest, but the 4-hour delta is negative at -$2,822,565. Over the last 24 hours, the volume delta is -$18,943,293, showing that sellers have dominated the session. This negative flow resulted in a cumulative volume delta (CVD) of -$9,862,054 by the 24-hour close.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.2% sits at the 73rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.4% - stronger buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for USDC, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
The current 24-hour buy ratio of 49.2% is slightly below the 7-day average of 50.4%, marking a difference of 1.2 points. Volume over the last day is 0.41x the weekly average, indicating significantly lower trading activity than usual. While there were 5 days of net buying in the preceding week, today's negative volume delta contrasts with the week's overall positive volume delta of +$182,732,447. This suggests that while the week was net positive, the current session is an unusual day of net selling relative to the recent trend.
