Summary
Deutsche Bank has been named successor depositary bank for Aviva's sponsored American Depositary Receipt program, a change that Financialcontent reports facilitates ongoing access to US capital markets and may support demand among institutional investors.

Separately, Aviva has invested £50 million in a tokenized share class of its Sterling Liquidity Fund on the XRP Ledger, as reported by Dlnews. The move reflects the insurer's push into digital asset infrastructure and may improve market accessibility and operational efficiency. Kalkinemedia reported that Aviva also posted a rise in interim operating profit, with positive contributions from Direct Line strengthening its UK insurance results.
Aviva shares traded at GBX 729.4 on the day, up 1.36%, with an intraday range of GBX 720.52 to GBX 739.48. The stock trades above its MA-20 at GBX 719.17, MA-50 at GBX 715.03 on the hourly chart, and MA-200 at GBX 660.99 on the daily chart. The Ichimoku Kijun level at GBX 721.3 is cited as immediate support.
Technical readings are mixed. MACD signals a buy and RSI is elevated at 74.07, while Stochastic RSI, CCI and Bull/Bear Power point to overbought conditions. ADX and the Awesome Oscillator are neutral. The analysis from the source projects consolidation within GBX 720.52 to GBX 739.48 over the next few sessions, with a decisive move above resistance potentially triggering a further advance and a break below GBX 721.3 raising the risk of a deeper retracement. This outlook is a proprietary model forecast, not investment advice.
