Stablecoin issuer Circle is expanding its investment in Aave, a decentralized finance protocol.
On April 27, Circle said on X that Circle Ventures, its venture arm, had purchased AAVE tokens.
"Strong DeFi infrastructure does not emerge on its own," the company wrote. It described Aave as one of the core protocols shaping the future of on-chain finance and said the investment was meant to support the ecosystem and its community.
The purchase also comes as major projects have moved toward a joint response under the "DeFi United" banner following the recent KelpDAO episode sparked by rsETH collateral impairment.
The market is focusing on the move because a stablecoin issuer directly bought tokens linked to a core DeFi protocol to support its ecosystem.
