In 2024, AAVE introduced its v4 platform and expanded the GHO stablecoin across various blockchains, including BNB Chain and ZKsync Era. These developments illustrate AAVE’s commitment to enhancing its digital finance ecosystem and offering more diverse financial solutions to users.
DeFi saw a renaissance in 2024, with expectations for a favorable regulatory environment post the US elections propelling its growth. The total value locked in DeFi surged by 150%, reaching about 130 billion USD, while hacks and CYBER threats reduced by 40%, boosting investor confidence.
Looking ahead, 2025 may see AAVE expanding with new markets like Sonic and Mantle, pending community approval. Potential regulatory changes could allow DeFi projects to introduce revenue-sharing mechanisms, further strengthening this rapidly evolving sector.
