Data from Token Terminal reveals that $AAVE has outperformed its top three competitors in the lending sector, generating fees 2.2 times greater than the combined total of these rivals. This places $AAVE at the forefront of the lending market, even before the anticipated launch of its V4 upgrade.
$AAVE fees generated were 2.2x larger than the following three lending protocols combined.

The forthcoming V4 is set to enhance capital efficiency significantly, streamline the lending experience, and integrate the $GHO stablecoin more deeply into the ecosystem. This upgrade is poised to strengthen $AAVE’s market position further.

Additionally, a proposal to activate a fee switch, published on July 25 by ACI, suggests a “Buy and Distribute” program. This initiative aims to use excess revenue to purchase $AAVE tokens and distribute them to stakers, potentially increasing demand and driving up the token’s value.
Aave V3.1 Launch Across All EVM Markets
Recent updates include the launch of Aave v3.1 across all EVM markets and the announcement of Aave v4, which introduces a Unified Liquidity Layer for smoother liquidity transitions and isolated positions within the protocol. Aave is also planning to launch its own chain post-v4.
Aave, one of the most robust protocols in the space, recently earned $6 million from liquidation fees during the market crash on August 5. With nearly all of its tokens in circulation and a market cap of $1.6 billion, $AAVE continues to strengthen its dominance and utility in the DeFi landscape.
