Aave Goes Hollywood: DeFi Giant Launches on Sony-Backed Soneium Blockchain
DeFi''s institutional darling just got a red-carpet treatment. Aave—the $7B TVL protocol that somehow survived crypto winter—is now live on Soneium, the blockchain backed by Sony''s deep pockets and entertainment IP vaults.
Why it matters: When TradFi meets DeFi, the result is either revolutionary synergy or a slow-motion train wreck (looking at you, Celsius). Soneium''s gaming and media partnerships could funnel millions of normie users into Aave''s liquidity pools—assuming they don''t get rekt by their first volatile altcoin yield farm.
The punchline: Nothing screams ''mainstream adoption'' like a DeFi protocol cozying up to corporate blockchain plays. At least this one''s backed by actual revenue streams—not just vaporware and VC hype.
