It visually reinforces the post's announcement that AIP-514 has passed, bringing Pendle's fixed-yield PT-USDG to Aave V3 on X Layer, where it will serve as collateral for borrowing USDG.

V4 deposits hit $806M, up 30% in a week and more than doubling from the $500M milestone reached on Aug. 19.

The important context: V3 still holds around $31B, so V4 remains tiny by comparison.

But the velocity matters. 

Liquidity is"

> **Visual Note:** The image shows a Binance trading chart for AAVE/USDT priced at $97.50, displaying a candlestick chart with an MACD indicator showing bearish momentum (DIF: -21.03, DEA: -4.09). The post endorses AAVE as an alternative to playing risky meme coins on Robinhood or betting on ETH against BTC, suggesting these "safer" DeFi altcoin choices prove wiser during bull markets—which contrasts with the chart's steep decline from a high of ¥668 to the current ¥97.50, illustrating the very volatility that makes such DeFi plays risky.  

> 
> "Don't want to play RH's MEME?  
You can go for UNI  

Don't want to take on ETH challenging BTC's exchange rate?  
You can go for AAVE  

In the end, during the bull market, you'll realize  
This is actually the most correct decision"

The image visually supports the post's claim that AAVE has lost significant growth momentum, illustrating the steep TVL decline that occurred following the KelpDAO incident.

H&S)** pattern with a descending neckline, annotated with "initial launch hype + volume spike" near its peak. The chart displays a market cap of $6.7M and a 24H change of +34.10%, suggesting a potential bullish breakout — aligning with the post's Sunday prep theme of expecting altcoin outperformance and a bullish week ahead.

> **Visual Note:** This infographic, titled "Where Capital Sits, Where Risk Sits," illustrates how four DeFi protocols (Aave V4, ether.fi, Ethena, and Moonwell) separate capital from risk at different layers of the stack—from Aave V4's "Hub and Spoke" architecture routing 1.73M weETH in circulation, to Ether.fi's 1.73M weETH at $18M, Ethena's segregated portfolio vehicles backed by USDe, and Moonwell's mMAMO market with a 33,333,250 MAMO cap showing 6M MAMO supply gap. The visual breaks down each protocol's approach into Module, Token, Entity, and One Layer Too High layers, showing how designs isolate risk to the lowest layer while keeping aave V4's spoke "does not request a credit line" and Moonwell's borrow cap "never completes" illustrating protocol-specific risk boundaries.

> "Four protocols spent this year separating where capital sits from where risk sits.

Same move, three different layers of the stack.
@aave
 V4 draws the line at the module.
A Liquidity Hub holds the assets. Spokes connect to it and set their own collateral types, risk parameters"
