Aerodrome and BlackHole are positioned as DeFi leaders, with Aerodrome attracting over $1 billion in TVL on Base by July 2025, amidst strategic investments from Coinbase Ventures.

This highlights growing institutional interest in DeFi, driven by major backers and robust on-chain activity, potentially influencing the broader cryptocurrency market ahead of the anticipated bull run.

Aerodrome’s TVL Exceeds $1 Billion with Coinbase Support

Aerodrome Finance, backed by Coinbase Ventures, shows strategic potential within DeFi. Its founder, Alex Cutler, brings a blend of politics, technology, and DeFi expertise. BlackHole emerges as a potential breakout candidate, though leadership details remain sparse. Both projects draw institutional attention as DeFi gains momentum.

Alex Cutler, Founder, Aerodrome Finance, – “Aerodrome has quickly become the leading DeFi protocol on Base. Built as a fork of Velodrome, it offers…the go-to hub for liquidity on the network.”

Institutional Moves Boost Aerodrome Trading Activity

Immediate effects include increased liquidity and trading activity, with Aerodrome generating substantial trading fees. Institutional entry with innovations like JP Morgan’s USD-denominated deposit token has heightened market interest. Such developments promote industry confidence and align with broader market expectations.

Layer 2 Solutions and Historical Parallels in DeFi

The rise of Layer 2 solutions mirrors previous trends seen with Curve’s deployment, suggesting potential for further DeFi expansion. With historical parallels of institutional participation boosting TVL, current trends are likely to persist, fueling platform development and adoption.
