Aave Labs officially launched Horizon, a permissioned lending platform that allows qualified institutions to borrow stablecoins against tokenized real-world assets such as U.S. Treasurys and CLOs. The platform is part of Aave's broader push into institutional DeFi.

What’s the Scoop?

  • Built for Institutions: Horizon runs on a permissioned instance of Aave V3 with regulatory compliance enforced at the token level, while maintaining permissionless stablecoin markets for DeFi composability.
  • Backed by Major Players: Launch partners include Circle, VanEck, Chainlink, WisdomTree, Centrifuge, Securitize, and Superstate, among others.
  • Live RWA Collateral: Supported collateral includes Superstate's USTB and USCC funds, Circle’s USYC, Centrifuge's JAAA and JTRSY, and VanEck’s VBILL fund — part of the $25B+ tokenized RWA market now coming onchain.
