DeFi proved the technology works. Now the bigger question: can it rebuild how credit, liquidity, and risk move through markets? At Summit, Stani, founder of Aave, will unpack DeFi’s next leap forward. Tickets: Stani founded ETHLend in 2017 before launching Aave in 2020, now one of the largest and most trusted lending protocols in DeFi. Aave has continued to expand from lending markets into broader credit infrastructure, including Aave V4, GHO, Horizon, and new ways for consumers and institutions to access onchain liquidity. Come to Summit to hear from one of DeFi’s original builders on how onchain finance can create liquidity where it has not existed before, from tokenized assets to private markets and beyond.

"This is like Kraken offering to buy a food truck for slightly more than the value of the tacos it sold last week. Aave throws off $134 million in revenue a year" "Kraken is in talks to buy a 15% stake in DeFi lender Aave at a $385 million valuation. The founder Stani Kulechov is pushing back saying that valuation is inaccurate. Kraken denies selling Aave at a 70% discount, which is what this would be" "It's about a $71 million deal, the first under a new Payward Asset Management arm ahead of Kraken's expected IPO. This is a big deal for Kraken because they're expanding their market and their business. But Aave is a very robust business and this would be an extremely low valuation" "The real story here is that DeFi is back, baby. Aave was the secondary victim of all the DeFi hacks we saw because they ended up with toxic collateral. Now DeFi interest is back and we're seeing huge targets and huge interest in investing in the blue chip protocols"

New Podcast with Aave founder Stani.eth just dropped: Aave is at a turning point - will the new proposal lead to innovation or chaos? Aave is navigating a pivotal moment with the recent "Aave will win" proposal. This initiative aims to redirect 100% of protocol revenue back to the Aave DAO, a move that many in the community have embraced. But with any major change comes scrutiny. Critics are questioning the governance structure, suggesting that Aave Labs may have too much influence. Stani Kulechov addresses these concerns, clarifying that no votes from Aave Labs swayed the outcome. Stani also discussed the 'Hub and Spoke' architecture of Aave V4, explaining how it will solve liquidity bootstrapping for developers and pave the way for Real World Assets (RWAs) like solar farms and GPUs. It’s clear that Aave is focused on growth and innovation. But will it be enough to keep Aave competitive in the evolving DeFi landscape? 👉 Watch the full interview below

🚀SEC’s Game-Changing Policy Fuels DeFi & RWA Revolution! The SEC’s Q2 2025 policy shift is setting Decentralized Finance (DeFi) on fire, with Real-World Assets (RWAs) leading the charge. Is a new DeFi Summer brewing? Join HTX to stay ahead! 🔥 Three SEC Moves Powering the Future: 1️⃣ Innovation Exemption: Highly decentralized protocols get temporary relief from registration requirements in pilot programs, cutting legal risks. 2️⃣ Functional Categorization Framework: Regulations now target on-chain operations and business logic, moving away from blanket “securities” labels for tokens. 3️⃣ Regulatory Sandbox for DAOs & RWAs: A safe space for testing DAOs and RWAs, blending cutting-edge innovation with compliance. 💡 Why RWAs Are Stealing the Show: 🔹 Easier Compliance: Tokenizing assets like real estate, bonds, or supply chain finance just got smoother, with fewer securities classification hurdles. 🔹Institutional Money Rush: The sandbox and transparency are pulling in big players. Ondo Finance’s OUSG issuance skyrocketed 40% post-policy, while Maple Finance and Centrifuge attract pension funds and asset managers. 💰 🔹Tech Breakthroughs: Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), homomorphic encryption, and cross-chain solutions supercharge security, KYC/AML compliance, and multi-chain interoperability. 🔹 Market on Fire: DeFi’s TVL surged 17% (from $46B to $54B) in just one week! Governance tokens like UNI, AAVE, and MKR soared 25-60%, outpacing BTC and ETH. 📈 🔹DeFi Meets TradFi: RWAs bridge DeFi with traditional finance, unlocking tokenized real estate, invoice financing, and more for a seamless “on-chain + off-chain” ecosystem. 🌐 The Road Ahead: DeFi is shifting from “wild growth” to “compliant powerhouse.” New revenue models like protocol profit-sharing and asset management, plus hybrid governance (on-chain voting + off-chain legal frameworks), are reshaping the game. RWAs are poised to lead, with DeFi blue-chip tokens ready for a valuation reboot. The SEC’s pivot is a launchpad for institutional adoption and market maturity—#HTX is your front-row seat! 💭 My Take: The SEC’s policy is a massive win for DeFi, turbocharging RWAs and setting the stage for a potential bull run 🌸 Is the place to track this revolution! What’s your bet—will RWAs spark the next DeFi wave? 👉 Follow HTX for the hottest DeFi, RWA, and crypto updates! H.E. Justin Sun 👨‍🚀 🌞 HTX #TRX #TRONEcoStar
