## Description

DeFi has solved liquidity. The next challenge is putting it to work.

In this session, Stani Kulechov (Aave) and DeFi Dave (cap) explore how stablecoins are evolving into core infrastructure for credit, and why the next phase of growth comes from connecting onchain capital to real-world demand.

Touching on incentives, yield-bearing stablecoins, and Aave V4’s modular design, he outlines how new collateral types and credit markets could reshape DeFi.
