Balancer and Aave V4 Integration Deepens DeFi Liquidity
Balancer and Aave V4 Integration Deepens DeFi Liquidity
🤝 When Liquidity Meets Lending
Balancer and Aave are expanding their integration with $150M of Balancer liquidity already earning on Aave. The upcoming Aave V4 will enable:
- Balancer Pool Tokens (BPTs) to be used as collateral
- New assets for lending via custom spokes
- Improved risk modeling and capital efficiency
- Personalized borrowing costs through risk premiums
The collaboration aims to create more open, risk-aware DeFi infrastructure while maintaining modular design principles. This development follows recent discussions at DappCon where both protocols outlined their vision for enhanced liquidity management.
