No because of Mr. Egorov
The persistent decline in Aave’s TVL was attributed to the protocol’s publicity to the 30 July Curve’s exploit. Previous to the hack, Curve’s founder Michael Egorov had used a few of his CRV tokens as collateral to borrow from varied lending protocols, with the biggest mortgage taken from Aave (over $100 million).

That is in all probability sufficient CRV to push Mich’s $100M+ of CRV into liquidation on Aave, Inverse and Abracadabra if its not absorbed.
That is going to be nasty for these protocols and for Curve.
