Aave Labs Unveils Horizon: Enabling $25 Billion in Tokenized Assets for Institutional Use

Aave Labs has launched Horizon, a groundbreaking platform that unlocks over $25 billion in tokenized assets for institutional use. Built on a permissioned version of Aave V3, Horizon bridges the gap between DeFi liquidity and compliant lending practices. Qualified institutions can leverage tokenized securities as collateral to borrow stablecoins like USDC, RLUSD, and Aave’s native GHO, while maintaining 24/7 access to predictable liquidity. Horizon employs permissioning at the token level for compliance, ensuring secure operations while preserving DeFi’s open nature through accessible stablecoin markets.
