Aave's Dollar-Pegged GHO Stablecoin Achieves $2.5M Market Cap within 48 Hours
In just 48 hours of being launched, Aave's GHO, an algorithmic stablecoin pegged to the United States dollar on the Ethereum network, has already achieved a total minting value of $2.5 million.
On July 15, Aave launched GHO, a decentralized and over-collateralized stablecoin backed by a variety of digital assets, including Ethereum's Ether (ETH) and Aave's token (AAVE).
With a market capitalization of $2.59 million and a current price of $0.99, GHO (GHO) has a total circulating supply of 2.61 million, according to DefiLama.
The successful launch of GHO on the mainnet was the result of a community governance vote conducted by the Aave DAO, responsible for overseeing GHO's governance.
The governing body, composed of members, will have the authority to determine the stablecoin's supply, interest rates, and minting limits. They will also approve and supervise facilitators who can create GHO under specific conditions.
Out of the 424 participating addresses, an overwhelming majority, nearly 100%, voted in favor of the new stablecoin.
In the final vote on July 10, 421 wallets holding 881,059 AAVE tokens supported the launch, while only three wallets collectively holding 10 AAVE, with one wallet having the entire 10 AAVE and the remaining two wallets holding fractions, voted against it.
