PYUSD has crossed $400 million in deposits on Aave, one of the largest decentralized finance platforms.
PYUSD going live on Aave means users can now lend and borrow the stablecoin in a fully decentralized way. In simple terms, holders can earn yield by supplying PYUSD, while borrowers can access dollar based liquidity without a bank.
Why PYUSD on Aave Matters
Aave is a decentralized lending protocol where users deposit crypto and earn interest, or borrow assets by posting collateral. Think of it as an automated money market that runs on smart contracts instead of tellers or loan officers.
By crossing $400 million in deposits, PYUSD has become one of the more actively used newer stablecoins in DeFi. That level of usage signals trust and demand. According to public Aave data, total value locked on the platform sits in the tens of billions during strong market cycles, and stablecoins often make up a large share because they reduce price swings.

A real world example helps. A small business owner who already uses PayPal could convert funds into PYUSD, deposit them on Aave, and earn yield while staying exposed to the US dollar. At the same time, a DeFi trader might borrow PYUSD to manage short term cash needs without selling long term crypto holdings. No bank approval required.
