【Blockchain Rhythm】From early 2020 to January this year, the total loan issuance of the decentralized lending leader Aave has approached the trillion-dollar mark. This figure reflects the explosive growth of the DeFi ecosystem—from early niche applications to now becoming an essential part of mainstream financial infrastructure.

As a leading player in the lending sector, what does Aave’s six-year track record tell us? On one hand, it demonstrates users’ recognition of the security and returns of decentralized finance; on the other hand, it also reflects the gradual maturity of blockchain infrastructure and user education. With more institutional participation and the improvement of regulatory frameworks, the DeFi lending market still has vast potential.

Trillions of dollars is a truly impressive figure, but can Aave really handle this scale?

Damn, one trillion? That number is a bit scary. Is Aave really that powerful? Aave: I'm just making money, you guys do as you please... This is true DeFi, right? One trillion dollars, how many people does it take to mess around in there? Something feels off. Is this number real? I need to check the latest data. The lending market is crazy. Should we jump in before institutions enter or wait and see, everyone? Aave is truly exploding, but are the security issues really guaranteed? This bull market is coming. Otherwise, the lending numbers wouldn't be so exaggerated. It's the same old story... Once regulations tighten, the numbers will shrink in minutes.

Trillions of dollars? Sounds good, but how much of that number is actually real?
