Aave, the leading DeFi lending protocol, has reached a significant milestone with over $25 billion in active borrows - marking a new all-time high.​ This represents a substantial increase from $18.​26B in July and $10.​98B in April 2025.​

Key points:

  • 128% growth in borrowing volume since April
  • Demonstrates increasing DeFi lending adoption
  • Indicates strong organic yield generation in the lending market

The growth aligns with Coinbase's renewed focus on DeFi liquidity, as detailed in their stablecoin bootstrap fund announcement.​
