Ripple’s RLUSD Integration Boosts DeFi Liquidity for Institutional Lending

A significant development in the realm of decentralized finance (DeFi) has emerged as Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin now integrates with Aave’s Horizon Real World Asset (RWA) market. This integration marks a major step towards unlocking new opportunities for institutional lending and bolstering DeFi liquidity. 28th August, 2025 marked the official introduction of RLUSD as a core collateral asset within Aave’s platform. This move positions RLUSD at the heart of decentralized finance, allowing it to bridge the gap between tokenized real-world assets and DeFi protocols. Ripple, the creator of RLUSD, and Aave, the driving force behind Horizon RWA market, have strategically partnered to achieve a significant breakthrough in lending efficiency. ]
