Today's Top Headlines

Stani Kulechov, founder and CEO of Aave, has stated the US SEC has concluded it's investigation into the Aave Protocol.

“After four years, we are finally ready to share that the SEC has concluded its investigation into the Aave Protocol. This process demanded significant effort and resources from our team, and from me personally as the founder, to protect Aave, its ecosystem, and DeFi more broadly. DeFi has faced unfair regulatory pressure in recent years. We’re glad to put this behind us as we enter a new era where developers can truly build the future of finance.

DeFi will win.”
