Plasma just gave us one of the clearest demonstrations of @aave liquidity flywheel in action. Within 1 hour of launch, the @Plasma_FDN market on Aave absorbed $1.3B in deposits. Within 24 hours, that figure skyrocketed to $4B in deposits (currently sitting at $4.98B) and $1.5B in borrows, instantly making it the second-largest Aave market after Ethereum mainnet. For context, Aave is already the first DeFi protocol to surpass $1B+ deposits across six different networks, and Plasma just became the latest to join the league. The scale is remarkable. Plasma’s mainnet launch brought in $2B+ of stablecoin liquidity on day one, one of the biggest first-day TVL inflows in DeFi history. The market composition shows where demand is concentrated: → $2.5B in $USDT0 deposits and $1.91B borrowed against it → $1B in $USDe supplied → $752M in $sUSDe supplied This highlights the role Aave now plays as the banking layer for stablecoins. On Plasma, Aave acts as the financial infrastructure where: → Stablecoins can be borrowed and lent at scale → Liquidity can be transformed into efficient, predictable yields → Retail users, DeFi natives, and institutions converge on a single marketplace. The speed of Plasma’s growth shows how effective Aave can be in bootstrapping liquidity. For new chains, aligning with Aave isn’t just about tapping into capital, it’s about instantly building trust, utility, and accelerating ecosystem momentum.
