The DeFi US Session roundup for November 13, 2026, compiled by DefiLiban, was headlined by a Crypto Briefing report that deposits in Aave's V4 protocol stood above $1.75 billion. The roundup covered decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol developments published between 12:00 UTC and 23:59 UTC during the U.S. trading session.

Aave is a decentralized, non-custodial lending protocol on which users deposit crypto assets into shared liquidity pools to earn interest, while borrowers can draw funds against posted collateral. Aggregate deposits—the assets users have supplied—are a core measure of the lending liquidity available on the platform. Against that yardstick, the reported total above $1.75 billion conveys the scale of assets users had supplied to Aave's V4 pools—the capital base from which borrowing on the protocol is funded. V4 is the fourth major version of Aave's lending architecture.

According to DefiLiban, the roundup was checked by its QC team before publication on November 14, 2026, for headline accuracy, original value, factual consistency, metadata and authorship claims. The outlet said its AI review system screens every article before it goes live, and a duty editor monitors coverage after publication. DefiLiban added that it uses AI for research, drafting and review, while its editorial team remains responsible for every article and corrects or withdraws pieces when needed.

The roundup was written by Ada Michael, a DeFi writer and research contributor at DefiLiban whose coverage spans decentralized finance, blockchain infrastructure, token economies and crypto market behavior. Her work focuses on explaining DeFi systems, liquidity mechanics, yield strategies, on-chain analytics and emerging blockchain trends for both retail and experienced crypto readers.
