The visionary behind $AAVE is Stani Kulechov, a legal mind turned DeFi pioneer. Dissatisfied with traditional finance, he launched ETHLend in 2017 before rebranding it to the "Ghost" protocol we know today. His mission was simple yet radical: create a transparent, non-custodial liquidity market that never sleeps.
In 2026, Kulechov is scaling his empire toward the "trillion-dollar" milestone with the Aave V4 upgrade. By integrating Real World Assets through his Horizon initiative and a new consumer-focused app, heâs bridging the gap between niche crypto and mainstream fintech. As the SEC recently closed its four-year investigation without action, the path is clear for $AAVE to become the foundational credit layer of the entire on-chain economy. đĄïžđŠ
