Ether.fi: Aave V4 Instance Proposed on OP Mainnet

Ether.fi advanced plans for a dedicated Aave V4 instance on OP Mainnet to power EtherFi Cash, including up to $175M in launch assets, GHO integration and a 20% revenue share to the Aave DAO.

The move follows six months of protocol expansion that positioned Ether.fi as a leading restaking venue and sets the stage for deeper liquidity integration across Optimism. ETH price prediction models now incorporate this institutional flow as a potential catalyst for sustained demand.

Price action on the 4h chart shows ETH at $1734.39 holding above the EMA50 support at $1636.99 while the EMA200 at $1748.02 caps upside; with the MACD golden cross still intact and RSI at 69.89, the market tests upper Bollinger resistance at $1762.65 before any healthy retracement to the 50-EMA becomes probable.
