Crossed $2B deposits on @arbitrum. Higher.

Stables are the cornerstone of lending protocols, Aave growth is meant to support USDC growth (as we do with USDT) and vice-versa. Temporary misalignment and focus on underperforming venues due to legacy partners has hurt their growth, but we are excited to work on new synergies with Circle. 2025 is far from over, we will witness these curves grow together again! Just Use Aave.

With positive regulatory tailwinds, traditional financial institutions have their clearest signal yet to bring core services onchain. Together with @Aave, Plasma is launching the first and only dedicated institutional fund for a new global financial system.

I have a new name to celebrate; the last one lasted less than 3 weeks. How long will I keep this one? Just Use Aave.

Aave just reached $60B in net deposits. The work of all @aave DAO delegates keeps paying off. We’re getting closer and closer to $100B. Huge shout out to @aavechan on the 60B figure, it has been a big lift by the ACI team.

Few people realize that a large-scale arms race is currently happening openly on @base. One side is the biggest DeFi venue in the world, while the other is a cartel of VC-controlled pawns. One side spends cash, and the other throws gov tokens into the pit as if there's no tomorrow. At Aave, since our resources are a flow (local profits + from other instances) and theirs are a stock (gov tokens only as they don't have revenue), we can safely raise the bids to make their side feel *phyrric* about any outcome. They signed fixed-term deals, and raising the stakes is creating a black hole in their resources, a concern Aave simply doesn't face. Years from now, analysts will write extensively about how this war shaped the future of DeFi. Meanwhile, as a bystander, feel free to enjoy the gud yield the war creates. Just Use Aave.

Alignment with Aave is the fast track to success.

Print this one, frame it, and look at it every morning before taking any investment decision. Each time they tell you "we have 1m users" (bot farms in Nigeria and Indonesia) or "our TVL grew by 30%" (market grew by 40% during the same timeframe), take a deep look. And trade accordingly.

In just one week, over $60M is generating yield through @MetaMask's new Stablecoin Earn product. Powered by Aave.

Sums up my current experience with buying a plot of land in Europe. I found one, agreed with the seller on a price, signed in April, and the notary has been nothing but painful throughout the process, which is currently at a standstill because they don't work during the summer. I hope my kids will be able to take their mortgage on Aave, and become legal landlords with a single tx on mainnet. The old world failed us.
