Grayscale Launches Aave Fund for Ethereum Lending Token

It will operate like a closed-end fund, not an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that Grayscale offers Bitcoin and Ethereum investors following SEC approvals this year.

Aave Considers Coinbase's cbBTC Wrapped Bitcoin, Sparking Decentralization Debate

The Aave community is evaluating a proposal to integrate Coinbase's upcoming Bitcoin wrapper, cbBTC, into its V3 protocol. The potential connection between a centralized exchange and a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform has ignited a debate about the future of DeFi and the balance between innovation and decentralization. The proposal from the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) would link cbBTC to both the Base network and Ethereum mainnet. The plan includes an incentive package of $150,000 over thre...

These Alts Are Outpacing the Crypto Market Rebound

As the crypto market looks to recover from a treacherous couple of weeks, altcoins have seen a healthy rebound. Most notably, layer-1 network Sui has jumped 5.3% on the day to $0.72 while crypto lending protocol Aave climbed 4.5% to $86.60. This comes after significant selling pressure mounting on the market in recent weeks. The German government started to offload over $3.5 billion worth of Bitcoin seized as the result of criminal cases. During this, defunct exchange Mt. Gox has been preparing...

Aave Companies Launch V2 Lens, Introducing 'Blocking' to Crypto Social App

Blocked accounts won't be able to comment, follow, quote-comment, or execute unique, crypto-specific features such as mirror and collect.

Come for The Token, Stay for The Product. Right?

Decrypting DeFi is Decrypt's DeFi email newsletter. (art: Grant Kempster) Launching a token is a delicate task. On the one hand, you’ll thrill your die-hard audience of early adopters, rewarding them for sticking it out for so long. On the other, you invite hungry whales to come and harvest your project for its incentives, often hogging the lion’s share of the tokens being dished out (before flipping them for a profit shortly after). This latter outcome is especially bad if these tokens also ser...

When DAOs Self-Execute—What Could Go Wrong?

Decrypting DeFi is Decrypt's DeFi email newsletter. (art: Grant Kempster) This past week we got two examples of when self-executing proposals go wrong for DAOs. One proposal on Aave resulted in roughly $110 million in assets freezing after the proposal passed, and another on Tornado Cash saw a crafty proposer make off with roughly 372 ETH, worth over $670,000. The Aave proposal has been fixed, and a new proposal executed the fix. As for Tornado Cash, the proposer has made a new proposal to retur...

Aave CEO: New Security Upgrades 'Silo the Risk Away'

First proposed in November 2021, Aave’s latest upgrade is finally here. Launched earlier this month, V3 of the DeFi lending protocol has already raked in more than $143 million across the first seven assets listed. Though the asset list is far shorter than the previous iteration, the project’s founder and CEO Stani Kulechov says this upgrade is all about managing risk.

Gemini Dollar Lending Rates Spiked as High as 73% on Aave Amid Genesis Freeze

Gemini Dollar lending rates on decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocol Aave soared as high as 73% on Wednesday after Gemini announced that withdrawals from its Earn product may be delayed due to Genesis' lending arm halting withdrawals outright. Genesis services the exchange's Earn product. There are two likely reasons that these rates would spike above 50%. The first is that speculators are attempting to short the asset. Second, liquidity may be fleeing the pool and being converted to an...

Aave Launches Staked Ethereum Earn Strategy Through Oasis

Aave has launched a Lido Staked Ethereum, or stETH, earn strategy through Oasis.app, the frontend for borrowing DAI, MakerDAO’s stablecoin. The new strategy will allow users to borrow Ethereum, or ETH, against their stETH. It’s always been possible to do that by first depositing ETH and borrowing stETH from the Lido protocol, then going to another platform, like Aave, to loan stETH in exchange for ETH again. But Oasis will allow users with ETH to enter into the recursive strategy in a single tra...

Aave is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that lets people lend and borrow cryptocurrencies and real-world assets (RWAs) without having to go through a centralized intermediary. When they lend, they earn interest; when they borrow, they pay interest. Aave was originally built atop the Ethereum network, with all the tokens on the network also using the Ethereum blockchain to process transactions; they are known as ERC20 tokens. Aave has since expanded to other chains, including Avalanche, F...
