Aave Labs launches stablecoin lending platform Horizon

ChainCatcher news, Aave Labs announced the official launch of the Horizon platform, an innovative service aimed at institutional users that allows qualified financial institutions to obtain stablecoin loans using tokenized real-world assets (RWA) as collateral. The platform is built on a permissioned version of Aave V3 and aims to provide efficient capital utilization and 24/7 lending infrastructure that meets institutional compliance requirements.

According to the official statement, qualified institutions can use tokenized securities as collateral to borrow various stablecoins, including USDC, RLUSD, and GHO, enjoying instant access and predictable liquidity support. The platform employs a mechanism to execute regulatory compliance at the token level while maintaining the permissionless nature of the stablecoin market to preserve the composability of DeFi.

Horizon’s first partners include Centrifuge, Superstate, Circle, RLUSD, Ant Digital Technologies, Ethena, KAIO, OpenEden, Securitize, VanEck, Hamilton Lane, WisdomTree, and Chainlink.
