The Aave community is evaluating a proposal to integrate Coinbase's upcoming Bitcoin wrapper, cbBTC, into its V3 protocol.
The potential connection between a centralized exchange and a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform has ignited a debate about the future of DeFi and the balance between innovation and decentralization.
The proposal from the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) would link cbBTC to both the Base network and Ethereum mainnet. The plan includes an incentive package of $150,000 over three months, funded by the Aave Merit program, to bootstrap liquidity and drive adoption.
“This synergy between a major centralized exchange and a leading DeFi protocol could attract more mainstream users to Aave, contributing to the overall growth and adoption of the platform,” the proposal notes.

However, the proposal has met with mixed reactions from the community, with some supporting it as a step towards broader adoption and others expressing “significant concerns.”
“If cbBTC is primarily custodied by Coinbase, does this not introduce a single point of failure that represents a large risk to the credit worthiness of the asset?” one community member wrote.
The proposal comes at a time when Aave is expanding its offerings to adapt to the evolving DeFi landscape. Recently, the protocol activated a new Aave v3 market focused on wrapped Ethereum (weETH) and stablecoin liquidity, including assets like USDC, PYUSD, and FRAX. This move addressed the growing demand for weETH as collateral on Aave.
Coinbase has teased the upcoming launch of cbBTC, a new tokenized version of Bitcoin, on its Base network. Experts told Decrypt they think it could reshape the landscape of tokenized Bitcoin (BTC). This new token, announced via a cryptic tweet in the early hours Wednesday, signals Coinbase's ambitious plans to expand its tokenized asset offerings and potentially reshape the landscape of wrapped Bitcoin. Coinbase has not yet responded to requests for more details from Decrypt. The introduction of...
As the community debates the cbBTC integration, several key issues have emerged. The actual market demand for cbBTC remains a topic of discussion, with some questioning whether another wrapped Bitcoin option is necessary given the existence of alternatives like WBTC.
The proposal notes “ongoing changes with WBTC” as one reason for pursuing an alternative.
Security concerns have also been raised, with many emphasizing the need for thorough audits of the cbBTC smart contracts before any integration.
The regulatory implications of partnering with a U.S.-regulated entity like Coinbase have not escaped notice either, with some community members having called for a comprehensive legal analysis to ensure compliance and mitigate potential risks.
Coinbase declined a request for comment from Decrypt.
SatLayer, a Bitcoin restaking platform, announced Wednesday it’s extending Bitcoin’s use in decentralized finance to Sui, the speedy layer-1 blockchain launched last year. With Sui’s focus on fast transaction speeds, SatLayer’s integration will enable developers to leverage Bitcoin’s $2.1 trillion footprint in building DeFi applications, which aim to exclude third parties from transactions in areas like trading and lending, SatLayer said in a statement. Sui’s network is already home to a budding...
It's been a big week of DeFi news for the Donald Trump-backed crypto venture, World Liberty Financial (WLFI). Earlier this week, the project expanded its portfolio with $5 million worth of investment in three major assets: Ethereum (ETH), Chainlink (LINK), and Aave (AAVE). The acquisitions include 2,631 ETH at $3,801 each, 41,335 LINK at $24.2, and 3,357 AAVE at $297.8, according to on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain. The purchases mark WLFI’s first foray into LINK and AAVE, diversifying it...
Crypto yield marketplace Superform announced Wednesday the launch of SuperUSDC, a product billed as a “set and forget” opportunity for earning high yield on Circle’s stablecoin. Since its launch in early access this year, the platform has functioned as a decentralized marketplace for yield protocols. Projects can list vaults on Superform, which are linked to yield opportunities on Ethereum as well as dedicated scaling solutions like Arbitrum or Base. SuperUSDC offers DeFi users “automated, non...
