Family, today this matter is definitely a bombshell.
Just today, on December 17th, the king of lending Aave's leader Stani.eth has spoken.
This guy directly dropped some harsh words for the next few decades: he plans to move trillions of dollars in assets into Aave and wants to onboard millions of new users.
This is not just empty talk; he truly has the strength to back it up.
Let's take a look at this shocking data.
This year, Aave has been absolutely killing it, with peak net deposits reaching $75 billion and fees collected amounting to $885 million. What does this mean? This is equivalent to more than half of the profits, 52% of the fees, in the entire DeFi lending market, all going into his pocket. The combined five competitors can't even match him alone.
Aave's current scale is already large enough to compete with the top 50 banks in the United States.
It's like being the leader of the martial arts world, not only taking away half of the silver from the whole venue, but your bank's scale can now stand shoulder to shoulder with the big sharks of traditional Wall Street.
But this guy is not satisfied with that and has directly announced the three major killer moves for next year.
The first move is called Aave V4.
What is this thing? This is a complete overhaul of the infrastructure. Previously, it was a small bridge with flowing water; now, it's building a massive water conservancy project specifically prepared to handle trillions of dollars in funds. In simple terms, it's designed to ensure that no matter how much money comes in the future, it can handle and move it.
The second move is called Horizon.
This move is specifically prepared to make big money. It opens a VIP channel for institutional investors. In the future, traditional institutions holding hard currency like U.S. government bonds will be able to exchange them for stablecoins on-chain. What do we call this? This is turning real-world assets RWA into on-chain liquidity. This is the true entrance for the trillion-dollar inflow in the future.
The third move is called Aave App.
This move is designed to harvest ordinary users. Previously, playing DeFi was too complicated, with wallets, private keys, and Gas fees, which could deter newcomers. This App is designed to hide all these complexities, giving you a simple interface like WeChat Pay. Just top up your cash, and you can directly earn high returns in the crypto space.
Family, do you understand this logic?
Aave's current three-step strategy is simply flawless.
Grabbing traditional bank money with RWA to bring government bonds on-chain; grabbing ordinary people's money through the App to achieve the ultimate experience; in between, strengthening its underlying protocol to prepare for the trillion-dollar surge.
This is not just about lending; it is clearly building a 'financial highway' that crosses between the digital world and the real world.
We used to think of DeFi as a small pond, but now, Aave has started to build a grand canal.
Projects of this level are the true giants that can traverse bull and bear markets.
