Aave Labs launches stablecoin lending platform Horizon

ChainCatcher reported that Aave Labs has officially launched the Horizon platform, an innovative service targeting institutional users that enables 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 a variety of stablecoins, including USDC, RLUSD, and GHO, enjoying instant access and predictable liquidity support. The platform implements regulatory compliance mechanisms at the token level while maintaining the permissionless nature of the stablecoin market to preserve DeFi composability.

The first batch of Horizon partners includes Centrifuge, Superstate, Circle, RLUSD, Ant Digital Technologies, Ethena, KAIO, OpenEden, Securitize, VanEck, Hamilton Lane, WisdomTree, and Chainlink.
