Aave, a decentralized finance protocol, has revealed Horizon, a platform that allows institutions to borrow stable things to tokenized assets. At the time of establishment, the platform will be able to borrow circle USDC Stubcoin, Ripple USD Stubcoin, RLUSD, and Aave’s GHO for a selection of tokenized funds.
In a tweet, Ripple Senior Executive Officer/Middle East and African Managing Director Lees Merrick expressed his joy at the milestone, saying, “It’s great to see RLUSD play a big role in Aave’s Horizon platform.

The Horizon protocol runs on Aave V3, the largest distributed lending protocol with assets of over $66 billion. Therefore, the move places RLUSD in the financial market.
According to Ripple, the move will allow for a new era of efficiency for finance in the chain. “RLUSD is an important part of Aave’s Horizon platform, allowing it to use tokenized products as collateral and flow more efficiently across the market,” he wrote in the tweet.
