Aave, a prominent decentralized finance protocol, had a successful year in 2024 with several key milestones. However, the platform is gearing up for an even more significant year in 2025.
In a recent end-of-year review on X, Aave highlighted its plans for the upcoming year, including the introduction of Aave 2030 and the V4 proposal. The V4 proposal aims to strategically evolve Aave in the DeFi space by focusing on improved modularity, reduced governance overhead, enhanced capital efficiency, and innovative liquidity rollouts.
Looking ahead, Aave is focused on strengthening its position in the market. In 2024, the protocol launched new markets and achieved a new all-time high in total value locked. With net deposits reaching $35 billion and new markets like Scroll, BNB Chain, ZKSync Era, and Ether.fi being added, Aave’s growth trajectory is impressive.
In 2025, Aave plans to add more than six new chains through Aave DAO governance approval. Proposed integrations include partnerships with Sonic, Mantle, Linea, Botanix Labs’ Spider Chain, and Aptos. Additionally, GHO, Aave’s decentralized overcollateralized stablecoin, is set to expand cross-chain after its successful debut on Arbitrum in 2024. The project aims to go live on Base and Avalanche in the coming months.
On the market front, the Aave token has experienced price fluctuations, reaching highs of $385 in the past year. While the token has seen a recent pullback, it is still up more than 183% in the past year and is about 52% off its all-time high above $661 reached in May 2021.
As Aave continues to innovate and expand its offerings, the platform remains a key player in the DeFi space. With exciting developments on the horizon for 2025, Aave is poised for another year of growth and success.
