"Morpho doesn't manage assets. We're not comparable to Aave. We're infrastructure for asset managers like Aave" Morpho Co-Founder Paul Frambot on why Morpho came out nearly unscathed "Morpho provides a modular stack of isolated lending markets that anyone can deploy. You can have the safest as well as the...

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

"This market is about to explode." Andy on why the RWA thesis changes everything for DeFi and why the opportunity hasn't been this big since 2017: If the thesis plays out, Hyperliquid, Lighter, Aerodrome, Uniswap, Aave, and Morpho all expand. "We're not just going to trade it on perps. We're going to trade it spot. Lend it. Collateralize it. Put it in vaults. Earn yield. Move it cross-chain." "If we get this right, that's how big of an opportunity this is."

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. Sept 16–17 | Chelsea Industrial, NYC

🎙️New pod just dropped! I sit down with my old friend Stani, Founder of Aave Labs, to deep dive into Aave v4 and its biggest updates compared to v3. This is Ep. 1 of a new series where I analyze the evolving architecture of onchain lending markets and their impact on DeFi. Just as onchain spot trading evolved from p2p models like EtherDelta to pooled AMMs like Uniswap v2—and now to modular designs like Uniswap v4, built as lower-level protocols for sophisticated actors to run custom strategies without fragmenting liquidity—lending is following a similar path. ETHLend struggled to scale its p2p fixed-rate lending approach and lacked sophisticated actors building on top of the protocol to abstract this complexity. Aave v1 introduced pooled liquidity, making it easier for retail users to borrow and lend using the same strategy dictated by the Aave DAO. Now, Aave v4 marks a new phase: a modular hub-and-spoke design for deploying bespoke credit markets. 🧩 Hubs = Capital allocators that determine rates & provide credit lines 🛠️ Spokes = isolated, configurable lending strategies that draw capital from a Hub Use cases range from RWAs to fixed-rate credit to looped LP vaults (e.g., strategies pioneered by Arrakis on Uniswap v3 + MakerDAO). Critically, Aave evolves from a vertically integrated DAO—the sole allocator of protocol capital—into a permissionless platform where institutions (e.g., BlackRock) and DAOs can co-allocate capital alongside Aave itself. This is the beginning of a modular credit layer for all of DeFi. 🎧 Listen here: 📺 Watch here: 📖 Aave v4 proposal:

EXCLUSIVE: Morpho 🦋 CEO Paul Frambot 🦋 on how Morpho Midnight is new infrastructure for institutional private credit. This week, Morpho launched Midnight, which enables fixed-rate, fixed-term onchain lending, starting with one cbBTC/USDC market on Base across multiple maturities. This is unlike most DeFi today, where protocols like Aave and Compound set your risk, rate, and term using their formulas. This is not ideal for large institutions with their own risk appetite. Morpho 🦋 Midnight hands risk, rate AND term to the open market, so investors can set their risk appetite, and borrowers can apply to meet that in the marketplace. Lending on Midnight means buying a claim on future cashflows, where you pay 0.95 today, receive 1.00 at maturity. The difference (discount) is your rate as a lender. That's exactly how a zero-coupon bond works, the primitive bond markets are built on. Some other nuances that came out in the interview Prior fixed-rate protocols split liquidity into a pool per maturity, so markets stayed thin and most died. This is how a bond desk runs a book. Morpho aims to ensure liquidity isn't fragmented into individual pools. It offers source funds only at fill, and one balance sheet can quote fixed rates across all maturities at once. So you quote once in many places. The fees are capped in the code with settlement at 50bps a year, a lender fee at 1%, and governance can *never* raise them. Infrastructure that can't reprice you is infrastructure a treasurer can underwrite. Wall St is coming to these DeFi protocols For example, Apollo (roughly $940bn AUM) is contracted to buy up to 9% of MORPHO supply over four years. So I sat down with Paul Frambot, Morpho's CEO, days after his most ambitious launch yet. DeFi lending reached tens of billions without a single maturity date. Now we find out what it builds with one.

"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"

"That's the quickest way for us to earn the kind of money that we need to make is to get those resources to markets."

"We're going to strip down those inter provincial trade barriers once and for all." "We're going to build the infrastructure necessary in our ports, on our highways, our transportation systems, not just pipelines, but all of the other things that we need to do in order to get our goods into foreign hands."

"We're doing our absolute best to hold on. And it's not easy. And like you all said before, we have lots of expenses, lots of fees. People are calling in bomb threats. People are threatening to use the FBI on us. They're harassing our families back in Texas. They're trying to break into people's houses." He adds, "This is a lot of stress on not only us, but on our families and our loved ones. We're not Republicans. We're not wealthy. Most of us are working class people."

Aave v4 has just officially launched on the Ethereum mainnet. Setting aside the marketing hype, take one minute for an objective breakdown of what v4 actually changes.👇 1. Farewell to the fragmented "hub & spoke" architecture In previous DeFi lending, liquidity pools were isolated, resulting in extremely low capital efficiency. V4 consolidates all core assets into a single main hub, which then channels liquidity to targeted markets including Core, Prime and Plus. Liquidity is no longer fragmented but centrally coordinated. 2. Introduction of traditional finance-style risk premiums V4 implements genuine institutional-grade risk frameworks: using blue-chip collateral such as wETH and USDC grants lower borrowing costs, while holding volatile assets requires you to pay a clear risk premium. Collateral quality directly determines your cost of capital. 3. Institutional-grade terminal: Aave Pro The era of retail users jumping between pools to manage positions is over. Aave Pro delivers a unified macro dashboard, displaying cross-market health factors, interest rates and risk exposure at a glance. It is a dedicated command center built for large-scale capital. Aave already commands over 50% of DeFi lending volume. So v4’s real target is not Compound or other on-chain competitors. It is rebuilding core infrastructure to absorb the massive liquidity soon to spill over from traditional finance.

Aave v4 has just officially launched on the Ethereum mainnet. Setting aside the marketing hype, take one minute for an objective breakdown of what v4 actually changes.👇 1.

David from USD.AI on the institutional shift happening behind CHIP, why every borrower they have is institutional, and why the AI super cycle has had no real on-chain exposure until now: "We have personally beat out other investment banks in running deals that we've signed. They're starting to view us as a threat. One call we had, she ended it early: 'I think you're a competitor, I can't talk anymore.' We're just cheaper financing, even for the bigger deals. People think we only do small deals, but we're starting to get bigger and bigger. As we attract more capital, we have to deploy in bigger deals to keep up. All of our customers are institutional. There's not a single retail borrower. These chips are expensive: The minimum we lend against is H200s, clusters of eight, that's like 300k. We're working with many of the brand names in San Francisco that are actually in the AI sector. People appreciate the positioning of Chip; it's actually engaging with the AI economy. A lot of people claim to be AI. They're in their own version of AI that they think is AI. But then there's the OpenAIs of the world. There's the Cursors of the world. Real customers, with real backing, that have cash flows. That is what people in our space want exposure to. We just haven't had a good way to do it. There's a reason you can get a loan against an airplane or a Honda Civic, but not a GPU. And GPUs are going to be worth a lot more than cars or airplanes in the future."
