Expanding the Maple x Aave partnership and bringing institutional assets to the core liquidity layer.
The next phase of the Maple x Aave partnership begins today as syrupUSDT goes live as collateral on Aave’s Core instance. This listing follows the strong momentum on Aave’s Plasma instance, where syrupUSDT became the fastest growing asset on the network, drawing more than 500 million dollars of inflows. The early traction made one thing clear: all networks need stable, consistent yield. Maple is the only platform built to deliver it at scale.
syrupUSDT is now integrated into Aave’s highest-demand venue alongside billions in borrowable USDT supply, opening the door to the largest allocators ready to borrow against the asset at scale. This also reinforces a broader signal: Aave is placing trust in Maple’s institutional-grade assets at the protocol level. These assets have performed through volatility, and continue to offer consistent yield through all market environments.
Aave brings unmatched depth of liquidity and Maple brings institutional assets with consistent performance. With the success on Plasma, syrupUSDT’s Mainnet listing is the next step. This partnership will continue to expand to new assets and new integrations, strengthening both ecosystems and giving users access to the most trusted and durable forms of onchain yield.
