Aave to Enter 2026 With a Master Plan, SEC Ends 4-Year Investigation

US regulators officially closed a long-running investigation into DeFi protocol Aave AAVE $179.2 24h volatility: 4.8% Market cap: $2.73 B Vol. 24h: $302.45 M after dropping cases against Ondo Finance (ONDO) earlier this month.

Also, Aave’s founder has shared a long-term roadmap that discusses how the platform plans to scale into one of the core credit systems of the onchain economy.

SEC Closes Four-Year Investigation Into Aave

Aave founder Stani Kulechov confirmed that the US Securities and Exchange Commission has ended its investigation into the DeFi protocol without taking enforcement action.

The probe lasted nearly four years and included a Wells Notice, which is usually a sign that regulators are considering legal action.

According to information shared by Kulechov, the SEC informed Aave in a letter dated August 15 that it does not plan to recommend enforcement.

The investigation began under former US President Joe Biden, when regulators took a tougher stance on digital assets.

Aave Labs confirmed that it had remained in regular contact with regulators throughout the process and can now operate without legal uncertainty.

Aave’s Long-Term Roadmap and Scale

Kulechov released a detailed roadmap outlining how Aave plans to grow in the coming years. The strategy focuses on three core areas: Aave V4, Horizon, and the Aave App.

The goal is to move the next trillion dollars in assets and onboard millions of new users onchain.

Interestingly, data shared by Kulechov shows the platform has processed more than $3.33 trillion in total deposits since launch and has issued close to $1 trillion in loans.

This year alone, Aave generated around $885 million in fees and currently controls about 59% of the DeFi lending market. Kulechov described Aave as still being in its early stage despite its size.

As explained by Kulechov, Aave V4 is a full redesign of the protocol’s structure. The new version is designed to combine liquidity across different networks into unified hubs. Horizon, which launched earlier this year, focuses on regulated and compliance-aligned lending.

On the other hand, the Aave App is designed for everyday users and aims to simplify access to DeFi.

AAVE Price Analysis: Market Still Cautious

AAVE price has not reacted positively in the short term. The token was down around 2% on Wednesday, while trading volume dropped by roughly 28%.

As per the chart below, the altcoin is trading below a major resistance zone near the upper Bollinger Band, around the $360 area.

If selling continues, the chart shows a key support zone near the $135 to $150 range. Holding this area could stabilize prices.

However, AAVE would need to reclaim the $250 to $280 region first, followed by a clean move above $360, to signal a stronger recovery.

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
