Aave, a leading decentralized finance (DeFi) lending platform on the Ethereum blockchain, has seen its total value locked (TVL) surge to $30 billion, reflecting renewed strength and investor confidence in the Ethereum DeFi ecosystem. This milestone marks Aave's TVL as representing 20% of the entire DeFi market. The platform's price increased by 25% following this growth. Additionally, Aave's ecosystem on Sonic Labs has surpassed $500 million in TVL, contributing to an overall ecosystem TVL on Sonic Labs of approximately $1.3 billion, up 44% over the past two months.
