Stani.eth stated that this year has been the most successful year for Aave so far, with peak net deposits reaching $75 billion, generating $885 million in fees, accounting for 52% of all lending protocol fees, surpassing the combined total of the next five competitors. In addition, the current scale of the Aave protocol is comparable to the top 50 banks in the global financial center of the United States, occupying 59% of the DeFi lending market and 61% of all active loans in DeFi. Aave's strategy for next year is mainly based on three pillars: Aave V4, Horizon, and Aave App. Among them, Aave V4 will make Aave the infrastructure for all financial activities. It is a complete redesign of the Aave protocol and will enable Aave to handle assets at the trillion-dollar level. In 2026, Aave will continue to engage with fintech companies and work closely with DAOs and partners to gradually expand the total value locked throughout the year. Horizon is the bridge prepared for the next trillion-dollar assets. As a market established by Aave specifically for institutional-grade RWA, it allows eligible institutions to use tokenized assets such as US Treasuries and other credit instruments as collateral to borrow stablecoins. The Aave App is the flagship mobile application of the protocol, designed to bring DeFi to everyone. This app aims to abstract away all complexities and provide a user experience that addresses real needs in the current economy. The Aave App will offer the best cash-to-DeFi experience on the market.
