Why this matters
Aave touches the custody and settlement layer, which is where tokenized-asset exposure actually lives: a token claim is only as good as the underlying record and the redemption path behind it. Watch the named custodian, the settlement timing, and who bears the risk if redemption is delayed.
Evidence boundary
The scope is limited to what the linked reports state, and where two of them diverge both positions are recorded without either being picked in advance.
What to verify
Check Aave against the named custodian and the applicable redemption terms: the timing, the minimum size, the fee schedule, and who carries the risk if redemption is delayed.
