The DeFi platform Aave's community has expressed support for the integration of the stablecoin PYUSD, issued by PayPal. This decision was backed by 99.99% of voting participants, ensuring the necessary quorum. The voting started on December 18 and concluded on January 11. The initiative emerged after the decentralized exchange Curve added PYUSD to its listing in December.

The proposal's author, Trident 15, explained that the integration fosters synergy between PYUSD and other assets, particularly with Aave's decentralized stablecoin GHO. It also implies maintaining high yields and creating demand for PYUSD loans on the AAVE platform. If approved, Trident 15 plans to contribute between 5 to 10 million dollars in liquidity to the pool.

PYUSD's market capitalization is 289.7 million dollars, marking a 71.9% growth over the last month. This asset ranks 12th in the stablecoin rankings, closing in on Paxos's USDP with a capitalization of 367.1 million dollars. Aave, in turn, is the third-largest DeFi project with a total value locked (TVL) of 6.26 billion dollars.

In November, the Aave Companies team, behind the development of the Aave DeFi platform, underwent a rebranding, changing its name to Avara. Earlier, Aave had suspended some operations due to a vulnerability discovery but assured that users' funds remained safe.
