Aave DAO Waves the Green Flag for Stablecoin GHO Proposal: What You Need to Know
The Aave DAO, the governance body of the popular DeFi protocol Aave, has overwhelmingly approved the proposal for its native stablecoin, GHO! As of August 1, 2025, the Aave community has eagerly awaited this development, and now it's becoming a reality. According to the snapshot of the votes, the Aave DAO passed the GHO stablecoin proposal with 501,000 AAVE tokens in favor.
This significant decision, with 99.9% of the votes in favor (1 de ago. de 2025), paves the way for the creation of a new over-collateralized stablecoin called GHO, designed to maintain a stable value. This exciting development means users will soon be allowed to mint the stablecoin against their supplied collateral (1 de ago. de 2025).
What is GHO and Why is it Important?
GHO is an Aave-native stablecoin. This AIP (Aave Improvement Proposal), dated July 15, 2025, proposes launching GHO with two initial facilitators: the Aave V3 Ethereum Facilitator and the FlashMinter Facilitator. If this AIP is successful, it will dramatically expand the Aave ecosystem.
The proposal, actively supported since March 18, 2025, aims to bolster GHO adoption and expansion across various blockchains. As Catenaa reported on Monday, March 18, 2025, the Aave DAO is moving forward with launching this new yield-generating stablecoin.
Key Takeaways:
- GHO Approved: The Aave DAO has approved the GHO stablecoin proposal.
- Over-Collateralized: GHO will be an over-collateralized stablecoin.
- Minting: Users will be able to mint GHO against their supplied collateral.
- Cross-Chain Expansion: The proposal supports GHO adoption across multiple blockchains.
Stay tuned for further updates on the official launch and implementation of GHO. This is a significant step forward for Aave and the broader DeFi space!
