Over the Christmas period, we know many of you are without family members to discuss the plight of $BTC with. This year (God willing) we will be streaming our usual days AND:
Christmas Eve/ Day New Years Eve/ Day
Don't be alone, spend an hour with us, we cannot promise a $250k Bitcoin, but we can promise fun and laughter.
Where is the goal? Retaking $5bn and aiming for $6bn AUM by EoY is more than achievable, more likely $6bn with asset appreciation ( $BTC especially).
In addition, once the Bull Run ends, asset rotation from alts into $SYRUPUSD is going to be a main driver of AUM.
🔸Looking Forward Pure conjecture but expect every exchange by 2026 to offer a yield bearing $BTC LST AND a yield bearing $USD. My choice would be the @Maple Finance Official $SYRUPBTC offering and $SYRUPUSD.
The crypto lending space has grown at a steady pace this year, roughly doubling in size.
Maple moved far beyond that, recording a tenfold rise that shows how quickly it is capturing market share.
This level of growth now positions @Maple Finance Official among the top three lenders in centralized finance, with @Tether USDT still leading the sector.
As demand continues to shift toward more transparent and efficient lending models, $SYRUP ecosystem is becoming key player shaping how onchain credit evolves.
Having spent a few days breaking down the recent Maple Call, I have broken it down into four parts, YTD, Targets, Roadmap and Thoughts...
📅 2025 YTD recap AUM $500m to $5bn ARR rose $5m to $25m $8bn+ loans originated (total $13bn+ now) Zero liquidations on Oct 10
🎯 2025 Targets AUM $5.5bn ARR $30m+ syrupUSDC / syrupUSDT on @aave Expansion on @Plasma, $HYPE etc
🛣️ 2026 Roadmap Deeper TradFi integrations and institutional adoption Focus on crypto native yield Full product creation, management and distribution AI optimisation for decisions and operations
🧠 Thoughts 2025 has been a breakout year. Probably one of the top 5 success stories of 2025. A rapidly expanding business in a rapidly expanding sector, this is not surprising.
What is surprising is the accuracy and speed of integrations achieved in 2025. From launching on @solana to the new @aave integrations, this has been a year of selective exponential growth. Nothing has been by chance. Each step carefully calculated.
2026 will see more growth for certain. With the same precision in execution, I see no stopping Maple Finance with a pro crypto US Government.
