Kulechov, a Russian-born Finnish lawyer, founded Aave in 2017 under the name ETHLend. The platform, which aspires to become the backbone of the next generation of credit services, not just leverage for crypto, has over $50 billion in assets deposited across its markets.
Kulechov has been something of a champion of the U.K. and Ireland as possible crypto hubs. He recently welcomed U.K. tax authority HMRC’s approach to DeFi lending protocols, that locking crypto up as collateral would not generate a taxable event .
A spokesperson for Aave did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy. Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests.
