【Crypto World】Maple, this DeFi lending protocol, has delivered a solid annual performance.

The numbers are indeed impressive — asset management grew from about $500 million at the beginning of the year to over $5 billion, a tenfold increase. Annual revenue exceeded $25 million, with a total transaction volume of $8.5 billion, and interest payments to investors amounted to approximately $60 million. In simple terms, this represents a dual breakthrough for the platform in both loan matchmaking and attracting funds.

The ecosystem layout is also expanding. Maple has already established partnerships with major players such as Aave, Sky, a leading exchange, a mainstream exchange, Cantor Fitzgerald, Bitwise, Chainlink, and others, bringing its products and services to new user groups and a broader ecosystem. These collaborations cover key areas including traditional finance, core DeFi protocols, and blockchain oracles.

Looking ahead to 2026, Maple is focusing on revenue growth, aiming to reach $100 million in revenue by the end of the year — which is four times its goal for this year. If achieved, it would mean the platform needs new breakthroughs in customer acquisition, product optimization, or fee adjustments.

5 billion AUM multiplied by ten? Maple indeed has something this time, but the real test is still to come... --- Collaborating with big players like Aave and Sky, it feels like the DeFi lending cake has grown again --- Interest of 60 million sent to investors, this is true profit sharing, unlike some protocols that only make empty promises --- Traditional finance + DeFi at the same time, is Maple trying to serve both sides? Let’s see how long it can last --- From 500 million to 5 billion, such rapid growth, will it attract regulatory attention... --- Annual revenue of 25 million, it still feels too small, whether it can sustain growth is the key --- Partnering with Cantor Fitzgerald is quite interesting, traditional giants are starting to enter the scene

Tenfold growth is indeed explosive, but I'm more concerned about how long this can last, as the DeFi story has been told too many times. Maple's recent move to tie in with traditional finance seems to aim for a steady approach, but the biggest risk for lending protocols is the failure of risk pricing. A black swan event could wipe out all the data and bring everything back to square one.

$5 billion AUM, this growth rate is indeed impressive... But is there any hype in the financing? --- Maple's collaboration with Aave, Sky, and traditional financial giants is making the ecosystem quite interesting. --- Is the tenfold increase driven by real demand or market sentiment? That's the real question. --- $60 million in interest distribution, retail investors can only get a few cents... --- Partnering with Cantor Fitzgerald is quite bold; DeFi is officially entering traditional finance. --- $25 million annual revenue is not small; the key is whether Maple's token can sustain its valuation. --- The asset management scale reaching over $50 billion so quickly either means it truly outperforms competitors or there are hidden risks. --- Why hasn't TVL been mentioned? Only talking about AUM feels like avoiding something. --- Collaborating with oracle providers like Chainlink shows they've really put effort into lending risk control.

A tenfold increase is pretty good, but these numbers depend on whether they can be sustained later. The risks in DeFi are still quite significant.

The 5 billion scale multiplying tenfold is indeed impressive, but can this growth be sustained? It seems to depend on how deep the ecosystem develops later on. Maple's collaboration with traditional finance is really interesting. The entry of major institutions like Cantor Fitzgerald indicates that DeFi lending has moved beyond niche markets. The numbers look good, but the real test is the stability of the funds. This aspect cannot be taken lightly.
