Avalanche is seeing increased lending activity following the expansion of Aave V4, with deposits surpassing $225 million and active loans approaching $100 million. The figures, highlighted by the Avalanche team on November 13, represent a 295% increase in deposits since the end of October and point to growing demand for borrowing and liquidity on the network.

Aave V4 Deposits on Avalanche Rise 295% Since October
Avalanche reported that deposits on Aave V4 had exceeded $225 million, while active loans crossed $100 million. The deployment went live on July 15, marking the first expansion of Aave V4 beyond Ethereum. Aave’s new architecture uses a Core Liquidity Hub connected to separate markets, allowing assets with different risk profiles to access shared liquidity within predefined limits.
Data from Aavescan provides further context for the reported growth. Its Avalanche Core V4 dashboard showed approximately $228.6 million in deposits and $99.9 million in active loans, with net supply increasing by $188.3 million over the preceding 30 days. These figures indicate that the expansion involves both supplied capital and borrowing demand, rather than deposits alone.

Stablecoins Account for Most Aave V4 Avalanche Deposits
The composition of deposits offers insight into what is driving the market’s expansion. Aavescan’s data showed approximately $91.3 million in USDt and $91.1 million in USDe supplied to Avalanche Core V4. Together, the two stablecoins represented more than $182 million, making them the largest assets in the deployment.
This concentration suggests that stablecoin liquidity is playing a central role in Aave’s Avalanche growth. Users can supply these assets to earn lending returns or use them within the market’s borrowing structure, subject to applicable risk parameters. Wrapped AVAX deposits stood at approximately $20.4 million, showing that native ecosystem assets also contribute, although stablecoins currently dominate the supplied value.
Aave V4 Expansion Extends Beyond the Avalanche Network
Avalanche’s growth is part of a broader expansion of Aave V4 across multiple networks. Aave’s October development update reported that V4 deposits had surpassed $1.5 billion, while its current protocol dashboard shows deposits of approximately $1.76 billion across its deployments. The protocol is now operating on Ethereum, AVAX, Arc and Base, with different markets designed for specific asset categories.
The AVAX deployment is therefore competing for liquidity within a growing multi-chain lending ecosystem. Its $225 million-plus deposit base represents a meaningful portion of V4 activity, but it remains smaller than the protocol’s overall market. Aave’s expansion also demonstrates how lending protocols are using network-specific markets to attract stablecoin liquidity, crypto collateral and, increasingly, tokenized financial assets.
Growing Borrowing Activity Brings Liquidity and Risk Considerations
The rise in active loans alongside deposits suggests that users are putting some of the supplied capital to work. However, higher deposits do not automatically translate into higher protocol revenue or sustained demand. Borrowing rates, asset utilisation, collateral quality and liquidation conditions will determine whether the expansion remains economically sustainable.
Aave’s hub-and-spoke structure is designed to manage liquidity across markets while maintaining separate risk parameters. This is particularly relevant as the protocol adds assets with different volatility and liquidity characteristics.
For AVAX, continued growth will depend on whether the deployment can retain suppliers, attract borrowers and maintain healthy utilisation without increasing lending risks. The next indicator to watch is whether deposit growth continues alongside active borrowing and stable market conditions.
