Maple Finance recently surpassed US$1 billion in AUM, which could indicate institutional inflows into the on-chain asset manager.
Decentralised lending platform Maple Finance officially surpassed US$1 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM), setting a milestone for the protocol while indicating that institutional capital is flowing on-chain despite the bearish outlook in the global economy today.
Growth on the decentralised finance (DeFi) protocol has been driven by increased demand across Maple’s lending strategies and the rapid adoption of syrupUSDC, a liquid, yield-bearing asset backed by overcollateralised institutional loans. Strategic partnerships with allocators such as Bitwise, and protocol integrations with Spark, Morpho, and others, continue to drive flows into Maple-managed products.
“Crossing $1 billion in AUM is a clear validation of our approach,” said Sid Powell, Co-Founder and CEO of Maple Finance. “Institutions want lending and yield products that work—on-chain, transparent, and built to scale. Maple delivers that today, with strong momentum and a deep pipeline of opportunities ahead.”
The launch of BTC Yield, a Bitcoin-native yield product that avoids lending, wrapping, or bridge risk, has opened new doors for BTC holders seeking real returns, while over $100 million in allocations from Spark and Sky into Maple’s syrupUSDC signal growing confidence.
“This milestone reflects sustained focus and execution—and signals where the future is headed,” said Joe Flanagan, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Maple Finance. “Maple is leading the shift to a new generation of capital markets: transparent, global, and natively on-chain.”
