Aave expands RWA lending to Avalanche

• Aave is expanding its real-world asset lending platform to Avalanche.
• The move takes the protocol beyond Ethereum for institutional lending.
• Aave aims to grow tokenised asset lending across more blockchain networks.

Aave (CRYPTO:AAVE) is expanding its Horizon real-world asset lending platform to Avalanche (CRYPTO:AVAX), marking its first move beyond Ethereum for institutional lending.

The expansion will let institutions borrow stablecoins against tokenised real-world assets on Avalanche using Aave's lending infrastructure.

Aave said Avalanche will become a dedicated hub for tokenised assets, supported by up to US$15 million in incentives tied to network growth targets.

The expansion is designed to attract more institutional borrowers while giving stablecoin lenders access to additional lending opportunities across supported networks.

Aave Horizon launched on Ethereum to let qualified institutions borrow stablecoins against tokenised assets while allowing anyone to supply liquidity.

The Avalanche rollout is part of Aave's broader strategy to expand decentralised lending beyond Ethereum as demand for tokenised real-world assets continues to grow.

At the time of reporting, Aave price was $96.26.
