Aave's Stani Kulechov outlines $50 trillion tokenized "abundance asset" opportunity for DeFi by 2050

Aave Labs CEO Stani Kulechov expects decentralized finance to tap into as much as $50 trillion in tokenized "abundance assets" such as solar energy by 2050, potentially creating a new collateral class for onchain lending. He argues that shifting from scarce assets like bonds and real estate toward tokenized infrastructure, including solar, batteries and robotics, could boost capital efficiency and returns, even as AAVE's token price remains far below its 2021 peak.
