Kulechov, a Russian-born Finnish lawyer, founded Aave in 2017 under the name ETHLend. The platform, which aspires to become the backbone of the next generation of credit services, not just leverage for crypto, has over $50 billion in assets deposited across its markets.

Kulechov has been something of a champion of the U.K. and Ireland as possible crypto hubs. He recently welcomed U.K. tax authority HMRC’s approach to DeFi lending protocols, that locking crypto up as collateral would not generate a taxable event .

A spokesperson for Aave did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
