8/Private Markets:
The Aave Protocol will enable the governance to support permissioned markets for tokenized assets. A collaboration between @RealTPlatform and the Aave Protocol is in the works to push DeFi even further and bring mortgages on Ethereum. Expect more on this soon.

10/ Gas Optimizations:
Thanks to a lot of work from the Aavegineers, significant Gas Optimisations have been introduced, leading to a sharp drop in the transaction cost of most of the protocol interactions as well as support for GasToken.
