After four years, we are finally ready to share that the SEC has concluded its investigation into the Aave Protocol. This process demanded significant effort and resources from our team, and from me personally as the founder, to protect Aave, its ecosystem, and DeFi more

Aave V4 expands the Aave protocol from pure pooled money market pools to full fledged lending infrastructure. One balance sheet, many markets approach will scale Aave to trillions, all powered by $AAVE.

Emilio^ @The3D_ · 2025-12-16T15:10:07+00:00

Aave V4 is gonna be ready for this. By decoupling borrowing logic from liquidity provisioning, we are now able to move past the traditional ERC20 as collateral lending model. Collateral can be anything that can be represented on chain, no need to tokenize.

One of the key points of Aave V4 is that it removes the fragmentation that comes with risk isolation. New pools can be bootstrapped with the same liquidity that already exists in the liquidity hubs. Risk isolation without liquidity fragmentation. $AAVE will win.
