As of October 23, 2026, Aave news today centers on $AAVE V4 Sentora curated markets, the first externally curated markets on the protocol.
Per the Aave Labs blog post dated October 22, 2026, users get three Ethereum markets to borrow RLUSD, PYUSD and OUSD.
For crypto news today, the V4 launch hands part of the risk control to an outside expert.
The blog gives no separate V4 launch date, but $AAVE V4 live on Ethereum is confirmed by its note that users can access the markets today on Aave Pro.
Aave also covered this news in its tweet on X, calling them the first externally curated markets on $AAVE V4.
Sentora shared the same Aave news today in its own tweet, adding that risk and strategies come from Sentora.

Sentora is a DeFi platform for institutions, per $AAVE Labs. It has allocated more than $2 billion across onchain strategies, with over 1,000 risk models inside each strategy.
Acting as risk curator, manages these curated markets on $AAVE V4, which run on the same codebase as every other market.
According to the Aave V4 docs, Liquidity Hubs hold deposits while Spokes let users borrow with their own collateral rules. External curation lets independent managers run a Hub of their own.
Feature | V3 | V4 |
Design | Market-per-pool | Hub and Spoke |
Liquidity | Held per pool | Held in Hubs |
New markets | Separate pools | Spokes on shared Hubs |
That is the core of $AAVE V4 vs V3.
Sentora runs a dedicated Liquidity Hub with three Ethereum markets:
Market | Borrow | Collateral |
RLUSD Yield | RLUSD | USDe, PRIME, mWIN, PST |
OUSD Yield | OUSD | USDe, PRIME, mWIN, PST |
Bluechip | RLUSD, PYUSD, OUSD | kBTC |
Users borrow against yield-bearing collateral and bluechip collateral. The yield bearing collateral sits in the first two markets, while blue-chip collateral backs the third. For stablecoin borrowing, that spans three assets.
How to borrow RLUSD on Aave: use the RLUSD Yield or Bluechip market.
How to borrow PYUSD on Aave: only the Bluechip market, against kBTC.
How to borrow OUSD on Aave: use the OUSD Yield or Bluechip market.
Borrowers should confirm every limit on Pro first.
Every curated Hub works within limits set by governance:
Aave DAO keeps ownership of the contracts.
Risk-increasing changes pass a 48-hour timelock.
New assets need governance review before listing.
Analysts following latest news may see this as a test of curated markets and DeFi lending, where one DeFi lending protocol hosts outside risk managers.
The Aave latest update today carries no $AAVE price today after V4 launch data, so readers tracking $AAVE token price should use live market data.
Impact on the token, if any, remains uncertain, and Aave V4 news will likely turn on borrowing demand in these markets.
For crypto news readers, Aave news today ends on one open question: will more curators follow?
