AAVE LAUNCHES HORIZON, AN RWA-BACKED LENDING MARKET

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Aave Labs' Horizon is a new Ethereum-based lending market where institutions can borrow stablecoins against tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). Backed by partners including Circle, Superstate, Centrifuge, Ripple, VanEck, and WisdomTree, Horizon allows qualified investors to post RWA collateral and borrow GHO, USDC, or RLUSD, while retail users can supply stablecoins to earn yield. Horizon bridges compliant institutional finance with DeFi by integrating NAVLink from Chainlink for accurate valuations and Llama Risk for oversight, turning RWAs into productive onchain assets.
