In 2025, syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT took a major step forward with their multichain expansion, powered by Chainlink’s cross-chain infrastructure.
Maple’s yield dollar assets launched across:
➞ @solana ➞ @arbitrum ➞ @Plasma
extending access to institutional-grade, overcollateralized yield beyond Ethereum and into some of the fastest-growing DeFi ecosystems.
The multichain rollout also brought Maple’s yield products to entirely new user bases.
On Solana, deep integrations with core DeFi infrastructure expanded access to low-latency, high-throughput markets.
While deployments on Arbitrum and Plasma strengthened Maple’s presence within Ethereum-aligned scaling environments.
Across chains, Maple’s yield dollars continued to be backed by overcollateralized institutional lending strategies, reinforcing a consistent risk and return profile regardless of execution layer.
In 2025, Maple scaled to $5 billion in assets under management(AUM) , surpassed $25 million in annual recurring revenue(ARR) , and meaningfully expanded its footprint across multiple new blockchain ecosystems.
These milestones reflect not only growth in scale, but validation of Maple’s model: delivering institutional-grade, overcollateralized yield products that can operate sustainably across DeFi.
A major catalyst in 2025 was Maple’s multichain expansion.
By launching across new execution environments, Maple extended its reach well beyond its original ecosystem and unlocked new use cases for its yield products.
These deployments enabled capital-efficient strategies such as looping vaults, leveraged yield positions, and collateralized borrowing, while introducing Maple’s overcollateralized yield to entirely new user bases.
The result was broader distribution, deeper liquidity, and increased composability across the DeFi stack.
Taken together, 2025 marked Maple’s transition from a successful DeFi protocol into a mature, scalable on-chain credit and yield platform.
With strong fundamentals, expanding multichain presence, and increasing adoption across DeFi, Maple enters 2026 positioned to deepen integrations, grow institutional participation, and further establish yield-bearing dollars as foundational fixed-income primitives on-chain.
syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT have now surpassed $2.2B in total dollar deposits, marking yet another all-time high for Maple’s ecosystem.
The growth momentum has been exceptional:
➞ $48M+ in daily inflows on average over the past week
➞ $340M+ in total net inflows over the same period
➞ While the closest competitors collectively recorded net negative flows, Maple’s demand continues to rise sharply
This surge has positioned syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT as the #5 and #6 largest yield-bearing dollar assets by AUM and both continue climbing the rankings at a rapid pace.
With this level of adoption, Maple is firmly on track to becoming the standard for onchain asset management, delivering institutional-grade yield products with unmatched scale and reliability. Quote
syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT have evolved into foundational building blocks for on-chain asset management. They’re no longer just yield-bearing assets they’re infrastructure.
Across lending markets, liquidity platforms, and leveraged strategies, these assets now power a growing share of DeFi’s capital flows. Their adoption reflects a broader shift toward transparent, revenue-backed yield and institutional-grade risk frameworks on-chain.
Looking ahead to 2026, the focus is on scaling responsibly. That means expanding capacity across ecosystems, deepening integrations with core DeFi primitives, and unlocking new capital-efficient strategies all while preserving the stability and trust that made syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT successful in the first place.
The next phase isn’t about chasing growth for its own sake. It’s about cementing syrup assets as the standard for on-chain asset management assets that institutions and individuals alike can rely on as core portfolio components.
The full roadmap and details are outlined in the article below. Quote
Just eleven days into December, Maple has already generated over $900K in protocol revenue a clear signal that demand for on-chain credit and institutional-grade yield continues to accelerate.
Importantly, 25% of this revenue is allocated directly to $SYRUP buybacks, aligning protocol performance with token value and reinforcing long-term holder incentives. As revenues grow, so does the impact of this mechanism creating a feedback loop between usage, revenue, and value capture.
With consistent inflows, expanding integrations, and a disciplined approach to capital allocation, Maple continues to demonstrate what sustainable DeFi looks like in practice. December’s early performance is not an outlier it’s a continuation of a trend.
Maple has added support for multiple withdrawal requests within the Withdrawal Manager.
Users can now manage liquidity in discrete chunks, offering more flexibility and better alignment with changing market or portfolio requirements.
𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬:-
The prior Withdrawal Manager limited each user to a single open withdrawal request. With this upgrade, that limitation is gone users can now queue multiple withdrawal requests concurrently.
For integration partners, this unlocks a smoother operational flow: pools that deposit into Maple products can now initiate withdrawals for multiple underlying accounts through one smart contract, eliminating the need for complex request-ordering logic.
The $500K USDC incentive campaign winners are officially out!

Maple Is on a Tear
In just three days, syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT have seen over $150M in net inflows an extraordinary demonstration of market confidence.
This surge isn’t just about numbers it reflects growing trust in Maple’s liquidity protocols and the increasing appetite for reliable, high-yield stablecoin solutions in DeFi.
Key Note from this momentum:
➔ Rapid adoption: Users are actively moving capital into syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT, signaling strong demand for Maple’s products.
➔ Confidence in security: The influx highlights the market’s belief in Maple’s robust, risk-managed architecture and transparent protocol design.
Despite broader market weakness over the past few days, Maple has continued to attract meaningful capital.
In just the last 72 hours, more than $150M in net inflows have moved into syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT a clear signal of growing confidence in Maple’s overcollateralized, transparent yield infrastructure even as risk assets trade lower.
While much of the market has been pulling back, investors are actively reallocating toward stable, real-yield opportunities backed by robust credit underwriting.
Maple’s ability to accelerate growth during a down market reinforces its positioning as one of the few DeFi platforms delivering consistent performance, real transparency, and strong risk management when it matters most.
The latest period of market volatility provided another strong validation of Maple’s credit framework.
During the market-wide move lower, all margin calls issued to borrowers were cured within minutes a reflection of Maple’s stringent collateral requirements, disciplined borrower selection, and real-time monitoring systems.
Maple’s loan book remains fully overcollateralized, with borrower positions consistently maintaining collateral buffers well above minimum thresholds.
This ensures that even during periods of sharp price movement, risk exposure remains tightly controlled and liquidations are rarely required.
As it stands, there are zero open margin calls, and the entire portfolio continues to perform in line with expectations across every lending pool.
Loan health metrics, including collateral coverage ratios, payment timeliness, and borrower liquidity profiles, all remain solid.
This stability reinforces Maple’s standing as one of the most reliable and transparent providers of on-chain credit demonstrating that disciplined underwriting and continuous monitoring can deliver consistent performance, even in challenging market conditions.

The myth of web3 mass adoption has been shattered!
It’s not every day two pillars of DeFi decide to blur the lines between institutional finance and onchain liquidity.
Yesterday was one of those rare days.
@maplefinance just teamed up with @aave.
If you understand what both protocols represent — Maple, the home for institutional-grade capital, and Aave, the backbone of onchain lending — then you’ll know this isn’t just a partnership.
This is the beginning of a liquidity superhighway between TradFi capital and open DeFi markets.
Here’s what is actually cooking 👇
──•~❉᯽❉~•──
On October 21, 2025, Maple Finance announced a partnership with Aave to integrate institutional yield-bearing dollar asset like syrupUSDT as collateral within Aave’s lending markets.
In simple terms:
Institutional capital is about to flow seamlessly through Aave’s public infrastructure; increasing liquidity, stability, and capital efficiency across the entire ecosystem.
But this goes deeper.
──•~❉᯽❉~•──
@maplefinance brings billions in deployable institutional capital, sourced from real businesses and financial entities, and not just onchain liquidity providers.
@aave brings the most battle-tested lending infrastructure in DeFi, trusted by millions of users globally.
Together, they’re bridging two worlds that have long circled each other:
➥ Traditional institutions with yield-hungry capital ➥ DeFi protocols with programmable, transparent financial systems
The partnership begins with syrupUSDT launching on Aave’s @Plasma Market,
and syrupUSDC soon joining Aave’s Core Market - setting the stage for deeper integration between onchain asset managers and the largest lending protocol in DeFi.
DeFi has often been about experimentation.
But this is different, cos the walls are coming down, and the rails aligning.
Maple and Aave might just be the partnership that ushers in the next chapter of institutional DeFi.
