Aave’s net deposits exceed $50 billion, becoming the first DeFi protocol to reach this milestone
Odaily News Aaves net deposits have exceeded $50 billion, making it the first DeFi protocol to reach this scale. The data counts its total collateral assets minus outstanding loans in 34 on-chain markets. Aaves founder said that more and more traditional financial institutions are beginning to use it as a lending infrastructure.
This breakthrough also reflects the overall recovery trend of DeFi. Data shows that since December 2024, the total locked value (TVL) of the DeFi industry has approached $120 billion, of which Ethereum on-chain lending business is dominant, with a locked value of over $63 billion. DefiLlama data shows that Aaves current TVL is about $29 billion, almost half of the field.
It is reported that the Aave governance community is promoting multiple upgrade plans such as Aave V4, intending to introduce account abstraction and native real-world asset vaults, while also planning to support Bitcoin Layer2 assets and expand the stablecoin GHO to more blockchain platforms.
