Overview
- The protocol secures roughly $27.2 billion in total value locked across multiple blockchains, accounting for about 28% of DeFi by TVL.
- Aave generated about $83.3 million in fees over the past 30 days, nearly four times the take of closest lending rival Morpho.
- Aave Horizon targets institutions that borrow stablecoins against tokenized real‑world assets, with early participants including VanEck, WisdomTree, and Securitize.
- Aave DAO is evaluating an Aave Labs funding package of up to $42.5 million in stablecoins plus 75,000 AAVE, with debate intensifying as contributors discuss the V3 to V4 path and BGD Labs pauses work.
- The AAVE token trades near multi‑year lows around $117–$122 despite the protocol’s leading scale and fee generation.
