Aave Founder: Bringing the Market Beyond Crypto Assets Through Securities Lending

BlockBeats News, June 26th, Aave founder Stani stated that Aave is expanding the market from cryptocurrency to all asset classes through its securities-backed lending business. Brokerages like Robinhood and Charles Schwab usually keep 50% to 85% of the stock lending fee for themselves, returning only a small portion to the users. The global securities lending market is about $46 trillion in size, with an annual revenue of around $350 billion, mostly captured by brokerages. Tokenized stocks on Aave V4 can directly return the full lending yield to users, providing advantages such as real-time transparency, dynamic pricing, no rehypothecation, and no intermediary fees.
