Another big win for the team 💪🏾

[Aave @aave]

Aave Labs’ UK subsidiaries Push Labs Ltd. and Push Virtual Assets Ltd. (together “Push”) have received approval from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to register as a cryptoasset exchange provider in the UK.

[Aave @aave]

Aave Labs published a Temp Check to deploy Aave V4 on @avax, including a dedicated RWA Liquidity Hub.

Aave V3 is already one of the top protocols on the network, making it a strong fit for a V4 deployment.

[0xCster @0xCster]

Slowly but surely @aave's V4 TVL is growing. Just waiting until V4 becomes the standard 🍿

Ping me if you wanna be part of this - we 're hiring!

It’s been a little less than a month since my official start at @aave. A few quick observations:

1. DeFi is the use case for blockchains and is much more welcomed among institutions and fintechs than I even expected.

2. QC backed lending will provide the next growth spurt for DeFi lending - Aave will win here.

3. The old game that chains played for logo slapping is now happening to DeFi protocols. Astute players will price deals wisely and have a way to monetize or just watch their token go into oblivion. Lot of smoke and mirrors here.

4. Receivables financing is a tangible use case for DeFi to step in, really helps if the player is willing to put the full dataset on chain

5. DeFi lending will essentially redefine how prime brokerage works ($25B revenue industry)

6. Aave has work to do on BD side. It’s getting fixed and will be a sight to see.

7. @StaniKulechov is actually a beast - impressive ability to grind.

[Luigi D'Onorio DeMeo @luigidemeo]

Some personal news*  I've recently joined @aave 👻 as Chief Strategy and Business Officer.

After ~4 months of rest and reflection regarding the state of the industry, my personal life, and my ambitions, I feel more invigorated and determined than ever to contribute to the crypto space.

When I stepped away from @AvaLabs earlier this year, I said I'd take time to think carefully about where I could contribute most. I’m grateful for the awesome opportunities I've been able to consider.

The answer became clear over the past months and many conversations with @StaniKulechov and the Aave Labs team. I've long known Stani and Emilio and admired their work. Like them, I believe the future of finance is onchain, and Aave is at the center of this evolution.

Aave has the opportunity to provide a better way to borrow and lend, and to build credit markets at internet scale. The legacy financial system is slow, fragmented, and quietly extractive, and most of the world is underserved by it. Aave has spent years proving, in production and across cycles, that an open and programmable alternative works at scale. The next chapter is about turning that foundation into the credit and capital markets layer of the internet.

In this new role, I'll lead strategy, business development, and core operational functions,  working closely with Stani and the team to strengthen what's already working while pursuing the next set of opportunities ahead of us.

I'm joining at a pivotal moment. The events of the past week have made clear there's real work to be done and lessons to be drawn. I’ve been working non-stop with the team on the recovery effort this past week and I have no doubt that Aave will emerge even stronger. What I've seen up close is grit, focus, and determination under pressure. This is exactly the kind of team I want to build alongside of, and it makes me even more confident about where this is all headed.

Aave service providers have published an Aave DAO governance proposal to contribute 25,000 ETH to the ongoing DeFi United effort.

Aave DAO's ETH contribution would go towards the plan to restore rsETH's backing to try and normalize market conditions as quickly as possible.

DeFi United.

[Stani @StaniKulechov]

Aave is my life's work and we're working nonstop to find the best possible outcome for users.

I’m personally contributing 5000 ETH to DeFi United as we continue working together with partners on formalizing more commitments. I’m working to see this resolved and market conditions normalized as soon as possible.

DeFi United.

[Muna @muna_gu]

@StaniKulechov DeFi United.

[Stani @StaniKulechov]

The past few days have been intense, but I wanted to give some updates as we continue to work on this. Our priority is our users, and every decision we are making is aimed at an orderly return to normal market conditions and the best possible outcome for everyone involved.

Working around the clock, the team has made progress on multiple paths forward with several partners. The Arbitrum Security Council also recovered $70 million in ETH, which could meaningfully reduce the potential exposure, and multiple discussions and solutions are being considered. I am confident we will move towards a strong resolution.

Reviewing what happened and learning from it matters. But pointing fingers is not something that gets us to the other side of this.

Every bit of my energy right now is focused on the outcome for Aave users and the protocol. Aave has been my life's work, and this is an important moment for DeFi as much as it is for Aave. I am deeply grateful for the support and collaboration we have received from builders and partners across the industry.

We’ll get through this together and we’ll continue to publish updates on @aave as they happen.
