Aave Labs launches Aave app with $1M insured-savings for stablecoins
By Reel Coverage Nov 20, 2025
Leading DeFi protocol with $32.07 billion in total value locked (TVL), Aave, goes mobile with mobile app for stablecoin savings launch, targeting consumers with limited access to high yield stable investment products.
Aave took to X to announce the app release, calling it the smarter way to save.
The app launch comes amid growing tension across traditional banking groups over loopholes in the Genius Act allowing non-issuers of stablecoins to offer yields on stablecoins balances.
Aave is decentralized lending market enabling users lend and borrow digital assets across 18 blockchains. According to the Aave website, the leading DeFi protocol has facilitated over $1 billion in interest payments, almost $1 trillion in loan volumes and over $3.23 trillion in cumulative deposits.
On-chain data from Defillama shows that Aave generates north of $135 million in revenue, annually.
The Aave app launch by Aave Labs, the firm behind the development of the DeFi giant, is a step in the right direction for consumer DeFi, bringing on-chain yield without breaking consumer familiarity.
Aave app brings stablecoins savings with as much as 6.50% on stablecoins to consumers, up to 22× higher than traditional savings accounts.
Regarded as some as the "DeFi iPhone moment," the Aave app stablecoin savings solution includes insured deposits for up to $1M, larger than $250k industry standard, bringing unmatched insurance-backed protection to consumer balances on the Aave app.
The Aave app allows users to dive into savings with familiar payment channels including bank transfers and card payments, passing as any traditional Fintech app.
As Aave sets out to capture the traditional consumer market, analysts look to the Aave protocol's past yield performance.
Sealaunch Intelligence says that the Aave protocol has consistently delivered a persistent yield premium relative to traditional low-risk alternatives.
As aforementioned, Aave has processed over $1 billion in interest payments and makes over $135 million in annual revenue.
Earlier this year, in October, Aave Labs acquired Stable Finance, a web app for accessing stablecoin yield from peer-to-peer lending markets.
While Aave app launch announcement did not specify, the timing of the consumer-facing DeFi savings app launch suggests the use of the earlier acquired Stable Finance tech, to bring DeFi yield to the large and left-out consumer market, through an app that keeps away all the complexity of decentralized finance (DeFi).
In the announcement X post of Stable Finance acquisition, Aave labs disclosed:
"The Stable team will focus on consumer apps as part of Aave Labs, advancing new DeFi product initiatives for mainstream users.
Meanwhile, the Stable app will be phased out, with its tech supporting future Aave Labs products."
