Project Overview
Aave is a decentralized finance protocol for borrowing and lending, where users can participate as depositors or borrowers. Depositors provide liquidity to the market to earn a passive income, while borrowers are able to borrow in an overcollateralized (perpetually) or undercollateralized (one-block liquidity) fashion. AAVE is used as the center of gravity of Aave Protocol governance, allowing users to vote and decide on the outcome of Aave Improvement Proposals (AIPs). Additionally, AAVE can be staked within the protocol's Safety Module to provide security/insurance to the protocol and depositors. Stakers earn staking rewards and fees from the protocol.

Bio Protocol Launches OpenLabs, Plans to Support Scientific Projects and Agent Collaboration via USDC Yield Mechanism
DeSci protocol Bio Protocol has announced the launch of OpenLabs, positioning it as a coordination layer for human-agent collaboration in scientific research, aimed at transforming scientific ideas into funded execution projects. OpenLabs comprises five interconnected layers: Posts & Discovery, Projects, Agent Collaboration, Web3 Incentive Layer, and a Bounty System. Regarding incentives, OpenLabs plans to adopt a USDC yield-based funding mechanism to finance agent reasoning and tool usage. Users can deposit USDC and select projects to support; funds are allocated to audited yield vaults such as Morpho and Aave. The generated yield flows to projects for computation, queries, and simulations, while the principal assumes no risk. When a project reaches the stage requiring real capital, it can issue tokens via the Bio launchpad or pursue private fundraising and follow the traditional biotech path.
Ripple plans to introduce an institutional-grade lending protocol on XRPL, allowing tokenized assets to be used as collateral for financing.
Ripple is advancing the addition of a lending infrastructure layer on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), enabling institutions to raise funds using on-chain tokenized assets as collateral. The protocol will automatically execute loan terms, while credit evaluation and lending decisions remain handled by off-chain institutions.According to disclosures, the proposal is named the XRPL Lending Protocol (corresponding to XLS-65 and XLS-66 standards). It is currently in the technical draft stage and will require approval through validator voting before launching on the mainnet, but developer testing has already been opened on the test network.The protocol’s design splits the lending process into two parts: on-chain management of liquidity pools, interest calculation, repayment execution, and default handling; while borrower credit assessment and loan term setting remain with traditional financial institutions to meet compliance requirements across different jurisdictions.Ripple states that the mechanism is primarily aimed at institutional short-term liquidity needs. For example, in cross-border payment scenarios, temporary financing through stablecoins or collateral assets can be obtained before settlement is completed, thereby improving capital efficiency.Analysts believe that while the plan attempts to introduce a “rule-enforced lending infrastructure” similar to traditional finance while maintaining XRPL's open network attributes, it will still face competition from established on-chain lending protocols such as Aave, Compound, and Maple.

Aave CEO: Will Never Sell AAVE Tokens at a 70% Discount, Designing Aavenomics 3.0 Buyback Mechanism
Odaily Odaily: In response to recent community discussions, the Aave CEO issued a statement clarifying that Aave will never sell AAVE tokens at a 70% discount.According to the "Aave Will Win (AWW)" proposal, 100% of the revenue generated by the Aave protocol and the GHO stablecoin belongs to AAVE token holders. This principle also applies to all product revenues, including Aave App, Aave Pro, and Swaps. As a service provider for Aave DAO, Aave Labs is solely responsible for protocol development and expansion and does not receive any protocol or product revenue.The Aave CEO revealed that Aave's current annualized revenue has reached $134 million, all of which belongs to Aave DAO. Additionally, the Aave brand and related software intellectual property rights belong to AAVE.Furthermore, the team is designing Aavenomics 3.0, which plans to introduce a new, automated, non-discretionary buyback mechanism. More details will be announced later. He stated that Aave's goal is not only to serve the crypto market but also the entire financial asset market, including Real World Assets (RWA).
Aave Founder Responds to Payward Acquisition Rumors: Will Not Sell AAVE at a 70% Discount
Aave founder Stani Kulechov has responded to reports suggesting Kraken's parent company Payward is interested in acquiring a 15% stake in the Aave protocol, stating that AAVE is "not going to be sold at a 70% discount."Prior reports from CoinDesk indicated that Payward was in talks to acquire a 15% stake in Aave at a valuation of $385 million. If calculated at this valuation, it would represent only approximately 30% of AAVE's fully diluted valuation, significantly below the market valuation.In a post on X, Kulechov stated that the relevant reports were not entirely accurate. He did not completely deny the possibility of Aave Labs selling a portion of its held AAVE tokens, but noted that Aave Labs does have a certain allocation of AAVE, and that multiple market participants have discussed purchasing either directly or indirectly, or engaging in deeper collaboration centered around long-term partnerships.Aave is the largest decentralized lending protocol on the Ethereum ecosystem. Kulechov stated that Aave currently generates an annualized revenue of approximately $134 million, with the relevant revenue flowing to the Aave DAO. He has also previously proposed a governance plan to redirect revenue from Aave Labs, the protocol, and its products to the Aave DAO and token holders.These rumors emerge at a time when Aave is experiencing certain pressures. Following the Kelp DAO incident in April, Aave's TVL saw a significant decline. Although Aave itself was not directly attacked, the KelpDAO cross-chain bridge attacker utilized Aave to convert the stolen rsETH into other assets.
Aave Founder: CLARITY Act Nears Final Passage, DeFi Set for Regulatory Milestone
Aave founder Stani Kulechov posted on platform X, stating that now more than ever, the industry needs to build consensus and do everything possible to ensure the smooth passage of the U.S. CLARITY Act.Stani stated that although the CLARITY Act is not perfect and many details still need to be formulated by regulatory agencies in the future, the bill will become the first regulatory legislation involving decentralized finance (DeFi). It will provide a clear legal framework and regulatory certainty for institutions, fintech companies, and banks to participate in on-chain finance. Once the CLARITY Act is officially passed, its driving effect on the on-chain finance ecosystem is expected to be similar to the development opportunities the GENIUS Act previously brought to the stablecoin industry, attracting more investment and institutional capital into the on-chain space.Stani added that over the past year, and especially in recent weeks and days, the Aave team has been in close communication with relevant policymakers in Washington, D.C., USA. He stated that they have now entered the "last mile" of pushing for the bill's enactment, a phase that is critically important.

Aave: 116,500 rsETH Released During April 18 rsETH Incident; Asset Backing Fully Restored
Aave has published a post-mortem of the April 18 rsETH incident, stating that the rsETH LayerZero V2 cross-chain bridge of liquid staking protocol Kelp accepted a forged message during a cross-chain transfer from Unichain to Ethereum. This caused the adapter on the Ethereum side to release 116,500 rsETH without a corresponding burn on the Unichain side. Aave stated that the attack occurred on a third-party cross-chain bridge infrastructure. However, the attacker deposited the stolen rsETH into 8 Aave V3 positions, borrowing 82,650 WETH and 821 wstETH, which impacted the Aave market.Aave stated that the attacker's rsETH on Arbitrum has now been burned. The LayerZero OFT adapter has replenished 116,131.72 rsETH in 5 batches, and the asset backing for rsETH has been fully restored. The affected WETH and rsETH markets have returned to normal.
Aave Labs Proposes a Technical Asset Listing Framework to Standardize Asset Onboarding and Ongoing Review Criteria for Aave
Aave Labs has published an ARFC proposal recommending the introduction of a standardized technical asset listing framework for Aave V3, Aave V4, and Horizon—covering new asset onboarding, ongoing review of already-listed assets, and significant parameter expansions. The framework aims to unify technical assessment and monitoring baselines, addressing ERC-20 compliance, oracles, access control, minting and burning, pausing and blacklisting, upgradability, yield mechanisms, token architecture, cross-chain bridge risks, audit history, and external dependencies. The proposal also suggests integrating the assessment process into governance, including pre-screening, technical review, risk coordination, remediation tracking, and annual refreshes.
VanEck Tokenized Treasury Fund Integrates Euler, DeFi Platforms Accelerate Embrace of Wall Street Institutional Capital
: VanEck's tokenized U.S. Treasury fund, VBILL, has officially launched on the DeFi lending protocol Euler. The fund is issued and tokenized by Securitize. Investors can now use tokenized Treasury bonds as collateral for on-chain lending and liquidity operations, while meeting compliance restrictions.This move reflects that DeFi protocols are accelerating their transition towards institutionalization and compliance to attract traditional financial capital into the on-chain market. Data shows that the market size of tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds has surpassed $15 billion, growing approximately 150% over the past year. Traditional asset management giants such as BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Janus Henderson have all launched on-chain treasury or money market products.Euler has previously integrated Securitize's DS Protocol to support the inclusion of tokenized securities with investor qualification restrictions and transfer rules into its lending market. DeFi protocols like Aave are also expanding into institutional-grade RWA businesses.Institutions estimate that the market size for asset tokenization could reach $18.9 trillion by 2033. A Securitize executive stated that as traditional financial institutions enter the crypto space, DeFi protocols must find a balance between openness and compliance requirements. (CoinDesk)

Aave survives $8.45 billion withdrawal pressure, but DeFi hidden risks come under renewed scrutiny
Odaily Aave, a DeFi lending protocol, successfully maintained operations after experiencing capital outflows totaling approximately $8.45 billion. However, the incident has simultaneously triggered renewed market discussion regarding its risk structure and the fragility of the DeFi system.This stress event originated from a vulnerability exploit on the KelpDAO rsETH cross-chain bridge in April 2026, resulting in the theft of approximately $292 million in assets. This triggered market concerns over the safety of rsETH collateral. As this asset was widely used as collateral on Aave, panic spread rapidly, leading to concentrated withdrawals by users.During the capital outflow process, liquidity in certain lending markets was quickly depleted, with utilization rates briefly approaching 100%. Aave managed the situation by adjusting risk parameters and activating emergency mechanisms, although localized withdrawal restrictions did occur.Nevertheless, Aave's core smart contracts were not compromised. Protocol founder Stani Kulechov stated that the event validated the system's stability and resilience under extreme stress conditions.However, analysts pointed out that this incident exposed structural risks within DeFi: high coupling of assets across protocols, reliance on external bridged assets for collateral, and the potential for liquidity to rapidly evaporate in extreme scenarios.Industry observers believe that while DeFi's "composability" enhances efficiency, it also accelerates risk transmission, potentially causing a single asset event to trigger systemic cascading effects. Although Aave successfully navigated this stress test, the outcome does not equate to the elimination of risk.Overall, this event is viewed as a genuine extreme stress test for the DeFi lending system: the system can function, but its stability remains highly dependent on the quality of external assets and the market liquidity environment.

Standard Chartered Bank: Aave is expected to rise to $3,500 by 2030, an increase of approximately 50x from its current price.
According to CoinDesk, Geoff Kendrick, Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered Bank, released a report initiating coverage of the decentralized lending protocol Aave, with a target price of $3,500 by end-2030—approximately 50 times its current price of around $70—and expects Aave to outperform both Bitcoin and Ethereum. Kendrick stated that Aave has recovered from the April 2026 KelpDAO rsETH bridge vulnerability incident, during which attackers used approximately $290 million worth of stolen tokens as collateral to borrow real assets on Aave, exposing the protocol to up to $230 million in potential losses. Assets have now begun flowing back onto the platform, and Aave’s dominant position in on-chain lending remains solid. Looking ahead, Standard Chartered forecasts that the value of tokenized assets actively used in DeFi applications will grow 37-fold by 2030. Aave—whose revenue model is directly tied to lending activity—is poised to benefit directly. Additionally, Aave’s Horizon initiative (enabling tokenized real-world asset lending in permissioned environments) and the potential relaunch of its token buyback program are viewed as key catalysts.

Venus attacker sells 1,912 ETH to repay loans, still owes $6.78 million USDT on Aave
According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin (@EmberCN), the attacker responsible for the March THE liquidation event on the Venus platform sold 1,912 ETH for $3.26 million one hour ago to repay part of their loan on Aave. That loan was originally taken out by collateralizing ETH and was used to manipulate the Venus liquidations. The attacker’s address still has $6.78 million in USDT outstanding on Aave.
Aave Founder Calls Protocol "Resilient" Despite $8.45 Billion Deposit Run Exposing Risks
in April this year, KelpDAO's LayerZero bridge was exploited in a $292 million vulnerability attack, triggering an $8.45 billion deposit run on Aave within 48 hours, marking the largest capital outflow event in decentralized finance (DeFi) history. Aave founder Stani Kulechov stated that the design of Aave V3 withstood the market test, demonstrating the network's "resilience." However, independent data indicates that Aave's survival primarily relied on $300 million in emergency rescue, including a 25,000 ETH guarantee from the Aave DAO and a personal injection of 5,000 ETH (approximately $8.4 million) by Kulechov.Kulechov attributed the vulnerability to third-party infrastructure rather than core smart contracts. However, analysts pointed out that this incident exposed deficiencies in Aave's risk architecture and insurance mechanisms, leading the platform to incur significant bad debt (approximately $123.7 million in wETH). To prevent future bridge failures from triggering systemic bank runs, Aave V4 will adopt a modular "hub-and-spoke" architecture, enabling local risk auto-adjustment and collateral freezing.
