BlockBeats News, August 18, Pendle founder TN posted on social media, stating that just three weeks ago Pendle Finance had completed a $1.5 billion asset maturity settlement, after which TVL (Total Value Locked) quickly rebounded to a historical new high of $7 billion.

Last week, another $898 million in assets matured, and Pendle once again surged, setting a new record with a $9.2 billion TVL. In the week of August 14, approximately $1 billion had already started to rotate/migrate. Including this settlement, the total amount reached $1.81 billion, making it the second-largest maturity event in Pendle's history. Nevertheless, only $260 million (-2.9%) flowed out, and it lasted only 2 days (August 13-15).

The focus of this maturity event is Ethena Labs' USDe (maturing in September 2025), which has now become Pendle's largest pool ever, with a TVL of $3.36 billion. This growth was made possible by:

· No deposit limit in the market

· Aave raising the deposit limit of this PT to $1.4 billion

· 14.5% stablecoin fixed Annual Percentage Yield (APY), arguably the best (or close to the best) risk-return ratio in the current DeFi market

Looking ahead, Pendle is actively expanding more assets and trading platforms on Boros to enrich market choices. In the Principal Token (PT) field, Pendle's next stop is cross-chain expansion. Earlier this year, Pendle mentioned surpassing Ethereum (including EVM and non-EVM chains), and this is just the first step. Despite the growing size and frequency of maturities, funds are still flowing back continuously, and the stickiness is increasing—this proves that Pendle is increasingly trusted and adopted, becoming the core infrastructure driving DeFi revenue.
