Aave Reaches $6.5B in Plasma Chain Deposits

Aave’s daily deposits on the Plasma chain surpassed $1.5 billion, with total deposits reaching $6.5 billion as of September 28, 2025, following Plasma’s mainnet beta launch.

This liquidity surge highlights Plasma’s appeal, attracting retail and institutional investors, and exemplifies DeFi growth, impacting stablecoin utility and market dynamics.

Aave’s $6.5 Billion in Plasma Chain Deposits

Aave’s surge in Plasma chain deposits has been fueled by the blockchain’s mainnet beta launch. The focus on stablecoin utility has attracted institutional funding, evident in the $1 billion collaboration between Aave and Plasma. Additionally, an unnamed whale transferred $800 million in ETH to Plasma, supporting the liquidity boom. “Whales are actively looping ETH→USDT→Plasma vaults for yield, indicating strong market activity around Aave and Plasma,” adds an Anonymous Trader, a Market Participant. Zero-fee USDT transfers further incentivized investors, securing over $1 billion in pre-deposits through partnerships with Tether and Bitfinex.

This development has excited many, including Stani Kulechov, Founder of Aave, who remarked, “We are forecasting massive growth for Aave’s protocol, predicting net deposits of $100B by 2025.”
