Summary

GHO is a decentralized, crypto-collateralized stablecoin native to the Aave protocol, launched in July 2023 and minted through governance-approved 'Facilitators.' The token suffered a prolonged sub-$1 depeg for roughly seven months after launch and a sharper flash depeg during the July 2023 Curve Finance exploit, before stabilizing near $1.00 in 2024–2026 following the introduction of a Peg Stability Module-style mechanism. As of mid-2026, GHO's peg is largely stable and its supply has grown to roughly $500–650 million, but the protocol carries residual risks tied to collateral concentration, stablecoin-backed peg defenses, and recent turmoil in Aave DAO governance following the exit of the Aave Chan Initiative, a delegate that had driven much of GHO's growth.
