Aave's V3 protocol approaches $6 billion in loans as DeFi strategies mature.
The search for innovative yield strategies in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem sent the on-chain borrow excess to $11 billion, according to IntoTheBlock’s “On-chain Insights” newsletter. This represents a two-year peak, which was propelled by Ether.fi and Ethena.
Ether.fi’s eETH and Ethena’s USDe have soared to $6.4 billion and $3.2 billion in supply, respectively. Ether.fi’s eETH, integral to the EigenLayer ecosystem, now totals 1.7 million tokens. Meanwhile, Ethena’s USDe has climbed to become the fourth-largest stablecoin.

Notably, over $1 billion of weETH is being used as collateral in Aave’s V3 protocol for ETH borrowing. The adoption of weETH as collateral has surged since its April inclusion.

“These practices not only demonstrate the depth of the current market’s capabilities but also suggest a maturing understanding of leverage and reward dynamics within the DeFi ecosystem,” concludes the newsletter.
