Circle has added Aave to the borrowing options available in Mint, expanding the product beyond its existing Morpho-based lending setup. The update gives users another route for bitcoin-backed borrowing inside the service. At the same time, the change does not remove a key risk tied to this structure: borrowers still remain subject to liquidation rules set by third-party protocols. TheDefiant’s summary frames the move as an extension of Mint’s current lending design rather than a separate product launch. In practical terms, Circle is broadening the protocol choices behind bitcoin-collateralized borrowing while leaving the underlying exposure to external protocol mechanics in place.
Circle has added Aave to bitcoin-backed borrowing in Mint, extending the service beyond its existing Morpho-based setup.
Aave joins Mint borrowing options
The new lending option expands the Morpho-based service already available in Mint. With Aave now included, users have another protocol path for borrowing against bitcoin in the product.
Liquidation risk remains
Borrowers still remain exposed to liquidation under the rules of third-party protocols. The addition of Aave broadens access, but it does not change that core risk framework.
