Aave Horizon, launched by Aave Labs, introduces a dedicated on‑ramp for institutional lending, enabling institutions to pledge tokenized real‑world assets as collateral to borrow stablecoins under established credit parameters and risk controls.
Eligible collateral on the Horizon platform includes Superstate short‑term US Treasury bonds, cryptocurrency arbitrage funds, the Circle Yield Fund, and Centrifuge’s tokenized Janus Henderson offering, with tokenized real‑world assets used to secure on‑chain positions and preserve liquidity.
The protocol is built on Aave V3 and leverages Chainlink oracle feeds for real‑time pricing and valuation, while asset managers such as VanEck and WisdomTree are listed among the initial institutional partners participating in the network.
