we're just getting started with tokenized stocks our goal is to make @base the global stock market

IPOR Fusion now hosts Base's largest Earn on Stocks program. Since 24 August, vaults built on IPOR Fusion have grown to over $2.5M in @coinbase Tokenized Stocks, with over 400 wallets enrolled. Those stocks now work as collateral across @aave V4's tokenized stock markets on @base, where IPOR Fusion vaults supply 27.7% of all tokenized stock collateral, including more than half of NVDAc. IPOR Fusion was Aave V4-ready on testnet back in February 2026, so operators could add V4 to existing vaults with no redeployment. The strategies behind these vaults are operated by @628Labs.

After a few months focused on the orderly wind-down of Summer, I'm excited to be back in the product seat! I've joined @aave to help build and grow Aave Pro 👻 Big shout out to @StaniKulechov and @0xMari0 for their trust and belief in me. Can't wait to help build on their bigger visions for Aave and DeFi.

Stablecoin yield on @aave V4 underrated right now. >5.5% on USDC, GHO, USDG, and frxUSD.

Today, we published an ARFC on the @aave governance forum to propose native Bitcoin to Aave V4 as collateral through Babylon Trustless Bitcoin Vaults (TBV). The proposal includes two new Aave V4 Spokes; Babylon Spoke and BTCVault Swap Spoke for borrowing and liquidation settlement, revenue sharing terms and AAVE, BABY buybacks. If approved and implemented, Bitcoin holders can lock their native Bitcoin on the Bitcoin chain self-custodially, and use it as collateral to borrow supported assets on Aave V4, without wrapping, bridging, tri-party escrow, or sending their Bitcoin to third parties. Risk parameters for both Spokes will be provided by Aave's risk service providers. Subject to Aave governance review and approval. governance.aave.com/t/arfc-onboard-native-btc-as-collateral-to-aave-v4-via-babylon-trustless-bitcoin-vaults/25845

Gave a talk at the @ns conference on tokenised stocks titled Capital Without Borders. It shows how buying a stock can now be as easy as ordering a takeaway and how I think this will change financial markets.

Aave V4 users kept topping up their Coinbase-issued stock balances on weekends, with 30 to 51 position increases each weekend day since Sep 25. Aave runs 24/7, so holders can post these stocks as collateral and borrow against them outside market and banking hours.

Aave V4 on @arc crossed $300 million deposits.
