$100,000,000 of institutional credit originated on-chain in one week.

That’s the size of the latest loan @Maple Finance Official just originated; pushing total loans facilitated to $18.2B+.

Let’s pause and take a deeper dive into what this means.

If you’re new here, I know you might be wondering:

Why the excitement, and why am I shoving this to your face?

Think of it this way:

In the traditional world, if a large institution needs $100M, they spend weeks in boardrooms, filing mountains of paperwork, and waiting on slow bank approvals, plus an exuberant fees too.

But Maple has replaced that with an on-chain credit infrastructure.

This milestone didn't happen overnight.

It’s the result of a massive 2025 where Maple scaled from $500M in TVL to a powerhouse managing billions through:

• Vetted borrowers

• Overcollateralized structures

• Legal + operational rails institutions understand

• Yields that survive market cycles

When institutions need capital, they don’t experiment; they repeat what works.

So, is this the largest single weekly origination ever in DeFi?

Maybe not.

Is it one of the largest institutional-grade on-chain credit week we’ve seen this year?

Absolutely!

Maple started the year expanding what’s possible in on-chain credit.

The numbers are adding up fast, and this is just the beginning.
