Aave Hits Record Growth as DeFi Momentum Strengthens

Aave’s growth keeps rising with over $3M in weekly revenue and $56B in deposits, showing strong trust from crypto users.

Big investors are joining Aave as VanEck’s tokenized treasury fund goes live, connecting traditional finance to DeFi lending.

Even with a $50M buyback, the $AAVE token keeps falling as traders sell and the market stays under bearish pressure.

The Aave decentralized finance protocol is experiencing surge in growth. Weekly revenue surpassed $3 million, while total deposits climbed above $56 billion—both marking new all-time highs. Despite these achievements, the $AAVE token remains 66% below its 2021 peak and 39% lower than last December

Due to a deleveraged market and decreased demand for airdrop farming, borrowing costs have decreased, according to analyst Ignas | DeFi.

According to the chart shown on X by the analyst, the financing sector is now more stable as a result of this change. Revenue patterns show steady growth in 2024 and 2025.

Weekly income exceeded $2 million by mid-2024, peaked at almost $3 million in January 2025, and then began to fall somewhat. As a sign of ongoing user engagement, earnings by November 2025 were still higher than in 2024.

Aave’s Market Performance and Deposits Surge

Since the beginning of 2023, deposits have increased steadily. By late 2025, total assets had increased from $35 billion in the middle of 2024 to over $60 billion. Growing investor confidence and increased DeFi participation are indicated by this consistent increase. Furthermore, in Q3 2025, outstanding loans on Aave V3 surpassed $25 billion, up from $15 billion in 2024.

Stablecoin lending rates have also stabilized. Borrowing APY, which exceeded 17% in early 2025, now ranges between 5% and 7%. Similarly, supply APY sits near 5%, signaling balanced liquidity conditions. Moreover, these levels indicate a healthier equilibrium between lenders and borrowers compared to previous volatility spikes.

Market Sentiment and Price Outlook

However, technical analysts remain cautious. Jack observed that “$AAVE just lost its $200 support.” He noted that despite a $50 million buyback plan, “bears are still in control.” Price charts now target the $170–$140 range, with heavy selling volume confirming weak momentum. The 20-day and 50-day moving averages slope downward, and the On-Balance Volume indicator shows continued distribution.

According to HorseBeer.edge, “aave isn’t talking it’s building.” The DAO has already repurchased over 114,000 $AAVE tokens using real revenue. Moreover, institutional adoption is accelerating through the integration of VanEck’s VBILL tokenized treasury fund as collateral. Backed by Chainlink’s NAVLink, it allows institutions to borrow stablecoins against verified U.S. Treasuries—bringing traditional finance on-chain.
