Aave Labs will soon roll out regulated, zero-free on and off-ramping for GHO and other stablecoins integrated into Aave Labs products across the European Economic Area (EEA) through its new service, Push.
This new service is made possible by Push Virtual Assets Ireland Limited, a subsidiary of Aave Labs, which has secured Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) authorization under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) from the Central Bank of Ireland.
The authorization makes Aave Labs one of the first DeFi innovators in Europe to operate under this new regulatory framework.
Bringing More People Onchain
With MiCAR authorization, Push by Aave Labs can provide regulated, secure on and off-ramping of Aave’s native stablecoin, GHO, alongside other stablecoins with no fees. This allows users to move easily between euros and digital assets under a new standard for consumer protection and transparency.
The authorization comes as stablecoins and tokenized digital assets continue to gain mainstream traction, with global stablecoin supply exceeding $300 billion in 2025. 10s of billions of these stablecoins are used on Aave today.
A Commitment to Responsible Innovation
Aave Labs chose Ireland to anchor its EEA operations and to build compliant, regulated pathways that connect users to DeFi safely and transparently. Ireland’s regulatory leadership under MiCAR reinforces its position as a key hub for transparent and trusted digital finance across the EEA.
Note: The Aave Protocol remains decentralized and permissionless, operating globally on public blockchains. The MiCAR authorization applies only to Aave Labs’ regulated service offering provided by Push for fee-free stablecoin on-and-off ramping.
