Echelon 2025 Recap This thread highlights the milestones that shaped Echelon over the past year: new partnerships, new chains, deeper liquidity layers, and the next phase of protocol development. Read the full recap 🧵

Notable partnerships USD1 launched on Aptos and became available on Echelon from day one, expanding the stablecoin base with T-bill backed liquidity delivered by @worldlibertyfi We also upgraded to @chainlink pricing standards, strengthening data reliability for all markets.

New Deployments Echelon launched on @initia, integrating native bridging, VIP rewards, and MiniMove infrastructure to support stables, LSTs, and INIT markets. We also expanded to @moveindustries, becoming the lending hub for Movement-native assets and stablecoin liquidity.

Aptos LFM The LFM program provided structured support for Echelon’s next stage through: • Strategic planning • Marketing and growth coordination • Ecosystem-level guidance This helped formalize our roadmap as we approach TGE readiness.

Stablecoins Echelon holds 134M in stablecoins, equal to 60%+ of total deposits. Stablecoin depth on Echelon grew to one of the largest bases in the Move ecosystem. USDC is the largest market at $62M supplied and anchors the stablecoin depth that drives most liquidity across @Aptos.

BTCFi BTC-backed markets strengthened with @okx xBTC and WBTC, forming one of the most active BTCFi layers on Aptos. xBTC reached roughly 285 BTC supplied, contributing to nearly 300 BTC in total BTC-backed collateral across Echelon.

Growth Echelon closed the year with $140,000,000+ TVL, 3.1M in revenue, and 78%+ year-over-year growth across core markets. Stablecoins, LSTs, BTCFi, and cross-chain deployments each contributed to sustained activity and deeper liquidity.

Looking Ahead Echelon is preparing to introduce its fixed-yield product on Aptos, expanding the yield toolkit with a structured interest layer for users and integrators. Our roadmap also includes decentralization as we complete the final steps toward TGE. Announcement soon 👀
