Which protocol popularized “flash loans”?
In January 2020, the Aave protocol launched on the Ethereum mainnet, shifting lending from peer-to-peer matching to a liquidity pool model.
Key point: Borrowing stablecoins to buy highly volatile coins is effectively using leverage, so you need to manage the risk as you would a leveraged position.
$AAVE was converted from the original LEND token at a ratio of 100 to 1.
Don’t trade with borrowed money. The pressure can easily lead you to make poor decisions.
