Aave Founder Says $50T in “Abundance Assets” Could Transform DeFi

[bonk]

Stani Kulechov, founder of Aave, believes decentralized finance could unlock $50 trillion in “abundance assets” by 2050 through tokenization — creating a powerful new class of onchain collateral.

Currently, nearly $25 billion in real-world assets (RWAs) have been tokenized, mostly limited to US Treasurys, stocks, commodities, private credit and real estate. But Kulechov argues the real breakthrough lies in tokenizing scalable resources like solar energy, which alone could represent $15–$30 trillion of that market.

According to Kulechov, capital is “hungry for new collateral,” and DeFi lending infrastructure is well positioned to capture and accelerate this transformation.
