Monday June 30, 2025 — Maple Finance, the leading onchain asset manager, today announced support for EtherFi’s weETH as collateral for its lending platform. This strategic integration introduces a new institutional liquidity venue for restaked ETH holders, allowing qualified borrowers to access USDC loans while earning ETHFI incentives.
For the first $50 million in loans backed by weETH, Maple will offer a limited-time 2% APY rebate in ETHFI. Loans are overcollateralized, carry a 2-month term, and require a $5 million minimum size—designed for allocators, treasuries, and professional market participants engaging in Ethereum’s evolving staking economy.
“As staking continues to mature, we’re seeing restaked assets like weETH take on a more central role in how institutional capital allocates on-chain,” said Sid Powell, CEO and Co-Founder of Maple. “This integration reflects our long-term view that staking is not just a yield source, but a foundation for the next generation of collateral and credit markets.”
weETH has emerged as one of the most widely used restaked assets in DeFi, with over $5.3 billion in total supply and more than 65,000 unique holders. Approximately 75% of its deployed value is currently used as collateral in protocols such as Aave. With Maple, institutional holders of weETH now have a tailored pathway to put those assets to work more efficiently.
This launch also marks the first step in Maple’s broader roadmap to support Ethereum staking and restaking assets across its product suite. As institutional demand for on-chain yield and capital efficiency increases, Maple continues to expand the infrastructure for scalable, compliant, and transparent financial activity on-chain.
