Aave recently collaborated with stablecoin issuer Tether to integrate USDT, the largest USD-pegged stablecoin in terms of market cap, into Aave's Ethereum-based lending platform. Users can now lend ERC- 20 USDT tokens to borrowers looking to take advantage of Aave's flash loans, a novel lending product that allows users to take out uncollateralized loans as long as they are paid back in the same transaction. Aave CEO Stani Kulechov believes this collaboration with Tether could attract more money into DeFi, and Aave directly, because of Tether's unmatched levels of liquidity among stablecoins.
Aave's in-protocol token, LEND, is up over 30% in the last 24 hours. The token's supply is tied to the volume on Aave, as the protocol burns LEND tokens in proportion to the lending fees it collects.
