Aave Labs’ Horizon Introduces Real-World Asset Lending for Institutional DeFi

A new lending market from Aave Labs called Horizon is bringing real-world assets (RWAs) into the world of decentralized finance (DeFi). This Ethereum-based platform allows institutions to borrow stablecoins against tokenized RWAs, bridging traditional finance with the crypto ecosystem. Horizon partners include Circle, Superstate, Centrifuge, Chainlink, Ripple, VanEck, and WisdomTree , offering collateral options like U.S. Treasuries and Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs). The platform utilizes stablecoin lending in GHO, RLUSD, and USDC to provide both institutions and lenders with new opportunities.
