Aave's Horizon platform offers a new approach to borrowing by allowing the use of tokenized assets as collateral for stablecoin loans.
Horizon Platform Features
The Horizon platform allows institutions to borrow stablecoins such as USDC from Circle, Ripple USD, RLUSD, and Aave's GHO against a selection of tokenized funds.
Ripple Executive's Opinion
In a tweet, Ripple’s Senior Executive Officer for the 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."
RLUSD News and Ripple's Development
Earlier in August, Gemini launched the XRP Edition credit card, supporting RLUSD for U.S. spot trading. Ripple believes the stablecoin market, valued at nearly $300 billion, is poised to grow into a trillion-dollar sector and announced a partnership with SBI VC Trade to bring RLUSD to Japan in early 2026.
Aave's Horizon platform creates new opportunities for borrowers and investors, emphasizing tokenized assets in the DeFi space.
