Aave Launches Waitlist for iOS Savings App That Turns Fiat Deposits Into DeFi Yield

The iOS waitlist signals Aave’s push to package DeFi yields for mainstream savers via fiat on-ramps with advertised balance protection.

Overview

  • The app advertises mid‑single‑digit returns, generally 5% to 6.5% with boosts, though some outlets report up to 9% APY.
  • Users can fund accounts via linked bank accounts or debit cards, with deposits converted to stablecoins that earn on the Aave protocol.
  • Aave promotes up to $1 million in balance protection per account, but the insurance is not yet active and the provider and final terms remain undisclosed.
  • Availability is currently limited to an iOS waitlist on the Apple App Store, with Android and web versions listed as coming soon.
  • Aave points to European VASP/MiCA authorization to enable compliant fiat rails, and the underlying protocol manages about $55–56 billion in deposits per industry research.
