DeFi for Financial Institutions
summary
Aave announces Aave Arc, a permissioned deployment that layers KYC/AML and regulated intermediaries (Fireblocks as first integrator) on top of the Aave protocol, aiming to let banks, asset managers and hedge funds enter DeFi while keeping decentralization via on-chain governance delegation through a U.S. custodian. Claims: enable institutional TVL growth from ~$100B to $10T over a decade, reduce headline smart‑contract and counterparty risk with permissioned pools, and accelerate adoption of real‑world assets and NFTs.
