Aave assessment sets X Layer condition

The October 12, 2026 assessment supports onboarding USDe to the Aave V3 X Layer instance on the condition that the Ethena team supplies 5 million USD in decentralized-exchange liquidity. The assessment said no local decentralized-exchange liquidity was available at that point, leaving liquidators dependent on off-chain or cross-chain exit routes, according to Aave.

USDe on X Layer is bridged through LayerZero rather than minted natively, with backing escrowed on Ethereum, the October 12, 2026 assessment said. It recorded 62.78 USDe on X Layer on that date, while the Ethereum adapter held 2.28 billion USDe, according to Aave.
