Aave Labs launched Horizon, a new initiative to drive institutional adoption of DeFi through real-world asset (RWA) products.

What’s the Scoop?

  • Bridging TradFi & DeFi: Horizon’s first product enables institutions to use tokenized money market funds as collateral to access stablecoin liquidity, with Aave’s GHO stablecoin as the primary source.
  • Compliance & Accessibility: Unlike previous Aave products, Horizon introduces a hybrid model, combining permissioned RWAs with permissionless stablecoin liquidity to balance institutional compliance needs with DeFi’s openness.
  • Growing Tokenization Market: With major traditional finance players like BlackRock entering the space, Aave aims to position Horizon as a key link between DeFi and tokenized public securities, which have already reached a market value of $2.5 billion.
