Aave Labs launched a new platform Horizon, allowing institutions to borrow tokenized assets as stablecoins.

Techub News reports that, according to CoinDesk, Aave Labs has launched a new platform called Horizon, which is dedicated to enabling institutional borrowers to use tokenized versions of real-world assets such as U.S. Treasury bonds as collateral to obtain stablecoins. At launch, institutions will be able to borrow USDC from Circle, RLUSD from Ripple, and GHO from Aave to exchange for a range of tokenized assets, including short-term U.S. Treasury bonds from Superstate, cryptocurrency holding funds, Circle's yield funds, and tokenized Janus Henderson products from Centrifuge. The platform aims to provide accredited investors with short-term financing for RWA holdings and allows them to deploy yield strategies. The platform's setup integrates both permissioned and permissionless features: collateral tokens embed issuer-level compliance checks while the lending pools remain open and composable. Chainlink's Oracle Machine services provide real-time pricing data, starting with NAVLink, directly offering the net asset value of tokenized funds on-chain to ensure loans are properly collateralized.
