Stani Kulechov, founder of the DeFi protocol Aave, has purchased a Victorian-style mansion in London's Notting Hill for £22 million (approximately $30 million). The transaction price is about £2 million below the initial listing guidance. The five-story property offers views over the Notting Hill area. This acquisition stands out as one of the few notable transactions in London's high-end real estate market in 2025, amidst the backdrop of the UK Labour government's increased stamp duty and tightened tax benefits for ultra-high-net-worth foreign residents.
