Decentralized finance protocol, Aave has revealed Horizon, a platform that would allow institutions to borrow stablecoins against tokenized assets. At its inception, the platform would allow the borrowing of Circle’s USDC stablecoin, Ripple USD stablecoin, RLUSD and Aave’s GHO against a selection of tokenized funds.
In a tweet, Ripple Senior Executive Officer/Managing Director for Middle East and Africa Reece Merrick expressed delight at the milestone, stating: “It’s great to see RLUSD play a big role in Aave’s Horizon platform, which allows tokenized products to be used as collateral in order to make flow more efficient across markets.”
The Horizon protocol runs on Aave V3, the biggest decentralized lending protocol with over $66 billion in assets; thus, the move positions RLUSD on the financial markets.
