Aave v3 has launched on Celo, expanding DeFi access to Celo’s mobile-first users and opening the platform to broader user growth. The latest version of the lending and borrowing protocol Aave ( AAVE ) v3 has just launched on Celo, following the overwhelming approval by Aave’s community . With this integration, Celo ( CELO ) users can now lend, borrow, and earn yiled on their staked assets. Specifically, the deployment will support CELO, Tether ( USDT ) and USD coin ( USDC ) for collateral. For borrowing, it will also support cUSD, and cEUR. “Celo was built to provide individuals and communities worldwide with accessible, efficient financial tools, and Aave’s launch is a major step forward in delivering on this mission,” said Isha Varshney, Celo Foundation’s Head of Ecosystem. For Aave, the integration with Celo has the potential to bring in new users, especially mobile-first retail users — as Celo primarily caters to mobile audiences. “This deployment of Aave on Celo will potentially bring a large community of new people into the Aave ecosystem, reaching mobile-first users in emerging markets, connecting real-world assets to DeFi, and accelerating the use of stablecoins for simple transactions,” said Aave Labs Founder Stani Kulechov. Aave v3 was launched in March 2022. It went live on the Ethereum ( ETH ) mainnet in January 2023. Subsequently, it has also been integrated Aptos , Avalanche, Polygon, Arbitrum, ZKSync Era mainnet , and Sonic (previously known as Fantom). Despite the announcement, both CELO and AAVE are down by 0.25% and 1% respectively, aligning with the broader market downturn as tariffs are still weighing on the industry.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is taking steps to clarify its approach to cryptocurrency regulation. The SEC’s newly formed Crypto Task Force will host a series of roundtables to address issues surrounding regulating crypto assets. The first session, titled “How We Got Here and How We Get Out—Defining Security Status,” will occur on March 21, marking the beginning of the “Spring Sprint Toward Crypto Clarity” series. The March 21 roundtable is open to the public and will be held from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the SEC headquarters in Washington, D.C. Attendees should be aware that space is limited, and security measures will be in place. For those unable to attend in person, the event will be broadcast live on the SEC’s website, with a recording made available afterward. The SEC will release further details, including the agenda and a list of speakers, on the Crypto Task Force’s webpage in advance of the event.

Peirce, Commissioner and leader of the Crypto Task Force, underscored the importance of public input in shaping the regulatory framework for the crypto market. She expressed optimism about utilizing the roundtables to engage with the public and gather valuable insights for crafting a workable regulatory approach for crypto. The Crypto Task Force, established by Acting SEC Chairman Mark T. Uyeda in January 2025, comprises 14 legal and policy professionals. The team’s objective is to develop clear regulatory guidelines, streamline registration processes, and establish transparency rules for the crypto industry. Among the top picks is Michael Selig, the newly appointed chief counsel. Selig, a former Willkie Farr & Gallagher lawyer, has experience advising crypto, NFT, and stablecoin firms and handling SEC and CFTC regulatory cases.

Standard Chartered predicted that Ethereum could hit $10,000 by the end of 2025 in a forecast made in January. Now the bank has revised its year-end target for the digital asset, reducing it by 60%. According to a report released today, the adjustment is based on Standard Chartered’s observation that Ethereum is facing increasing competition from layer 2 solutions, prominently Base. Plus, Dencun, Ethereum’s recent upgrade, does not help the network maintain its market dominance. Standard Chartered stated that Ethereum still leads in many key blockchain metrics, but its dominance has declined over time. Layer 2 blockchains, originally designed to help Ethereum by improving scalability and reducing transaction fees, have shifted economic value away from Ethereum, the report noted. Base’s model of sharing profits with its owner, Coinbase, is seen as a particularly effective competitive strategy. Standard Chartered estimates it has caused Ethereum’s market cap to decline by $50 billion and expects this downward trend to continue. “Ether is at a crossroads,” the report said, noting that while it “still dominates on several metrics,” this dominance has been declining. Despite ongoing challenges, Standard Chartered sees the tokenization of real-world assets as a potential growth driver for Ethereum. According to the bank, Ethereum’s strong security framework could allow it to maintain an 80% market share in this emerging sector, which could stabilize or even reverse its structural decline. Geoff Kendrick, head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered, suggests that “a proactive change of commercial direction from the Ethereum Foundation,” like taxing layer 2 solutions, could help counteract the ongoing loss of value to these networks. However, he believes the EF is unlikely to change its business model. Standard Chartered forecasts the ETH/BTC ratio to fall to 0.015 by year-end 2027, which would mark its lowest level since 2017. While the bank expects Ether’s price to recover from current levels due to a broader Bitcoin-led rally lifting all digital assets, it maintains that Ether will continue to underperform. Last year, Standard Chartered projected that Ethereum would reach $8,000 by the end of the current year and $14,000 by the end of 2025. Analysts at the bank believed that the primary catalyst for these price increases would be the approval of spot Ethereum ETFs in the US. They also considered the Dencun upgrade as another positive factor contributing to Ethereum’s potential price growth. Earlier this year, Standard Chartered predicted that Ethereum could reach $10,000 by the end of 2025 as a result of a favorable environment for crypto growth under the new administration. Ethereum traded at around $1,900 at press time, up slightly in the last 24 hours, per TradingView . The digital asset is down around 42% year-to-date and is still 60% off its all-time high. Ethereum’s next major upgrade is the Pectra upgrade, which is scheduled to go live on the Ethereum mainnet next month. This upgrade aims to enhance network performance, improve validator participation, and introduce several key features like EIP-7702 and EIP-7251.

Activity on cross-chain bridges spiked last week, with Base, Solana, and Noble taking in the most funds, and Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Avalanche losing the most, DeFiLlama data shows . Base saw net inflows double that of the next best, Solana. The Base protocol outperformed the other solutions in cross-chain bridges last week by accumulating a net inflow of $35.6 million. According to DeFiLlama’s data, cross-chain bridges on Solana fetched $17.01 million into the blockchain’s ecosystem. In comparison, the bridges on the Noble blockchain had a net inflow of $14.67 million during the same period. DeFiLlama’s overall rating shows that only seven blockchain networks recorded positive netflows last week. Besides the three blockchains mentioned above, cross-chain bridges on Mantle, Sonic, Peaq, and Polygon make up the remaining networks with positive netflows in the past week. Related: Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol Goes Live on L2 Base Ethereum led the networks with the highest outflows, with $59.01 million leaving the blockchain network via cross-chain bridges during the period under review. Other top networks with significant outflows from cross-chain bridges include Arbitrum, which has a $46.44 million net outflow, and Avalanche, which had a $43.4 million net outflow. Eight blockchains had more funds leaving their networks than coming in via cross-chain bridges in the past week. Besides Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Avalanche, Bera, Sei, Blast, Linea, and Sui blockchains comprise the remaining five blockchains in this category. Sui is the blockchain with the least net outflow, having recorded only $3.46 million in net outflows last week. Looking at individual bridges, the LayerZero solution claimed the top spot in terms of volume and found implementation across over 80 networks.
