Mars Finance reports that on June 20, Aave founder Stani Kulechov published a post stating that Aave V4 can be used to rebuild the on-chain securities financing market. He noted that securities financing is one of Wall Street’s largest yet least publicly understood markets: securities-backed lending has already become a multi-trillion-dollar business, with the U.S. repurchase market averaging daily exposures of approximately $1.26 trillion, margin financing reaching $1.3 trillion, wealth management securities-backed loans exceeding $400 billion, and the securities lending market holding approximately $4.6 trillion in assets on loan, generating a record $15 billion in revenue by 2025. Aave V4 employs a “liquidity hub + modular markets” architecture, enabling shared liquidity at the底层 while allowing segmented markets with distinct risk parameters, asset ranges, and rules at the upper layer. Aave V4 supports three core securities financing use cases: securities-backed lending, repurchase transactions, and securities lending. Tokenized securities can be used as collateral to borrow GHO or stablecoins; repurchase transactions can enable atomic settlement by borrowing stablecoins against tokenized securities as collateral; in securities lending, tokenized securities themselves can become lendable assets, with lending income directly flowing to asset holders. Stani stated that Aave V4 can operate with a single shared liquidity hub or multiple hubs segmented by asset class and risk profile. The former offers deeper liquidity, while the latter provides stronger risk isolation. He believes the practical path may begin with a unified liquidity model and gradually evolve into a multi-hub structure segmented by asset class and risk as the range of collateral types expands.

Summary
Aave V4 is poised to transform the on-chain securities financing market by leveraging on-chain data to build a trillion-dollar on-chain analysis framework. Founder Stani Kulechov noted that the U.S. repo market averages $12.6 trillion in daily exposure, with Aave V4 introducing a liquidity hub combined with a modular markets structure. The protocol supports three key use cases: securities-backed loans, repo transactions, and securities lending. Tokenized assets can serve as collateral to borrow GHO or stablecoins, with atomic settlement and direct income flows to asset holders. Aave V4 can deploy either a single liquidity hub or multiple hubs, adapting to expanding types of collateral.
