AAVE Price News: 10% Weekend Rebound; Grove Boosts USDC, RLUSD Liquidity on RWA Protocol

CoinDesk
Aave's token (AAVE) surged over 10% during the weekend, coinciding with plans for increased liquidity on its institutional arm, Horizon.

Summary

The governance token AAVE experienced a strong weekend recovery, bouncing over 10% to briefly surpass $230, making it one of the top performers among CoinDesk 20 Index members before consolidating above $225. Beyond the price action, Aave is gaining traction in the tokenized asset lending space. Onchain capital allocator Grove has proposed supplying liquidity for Ripple USD (RLUSD) and Circle's USDC stablecoins to Horizon, Aave's institutional lending market. This integration, pending governance approval, would allow qualified borrowers to use tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) as collateral, potentially deepening liquidity for institutions borrowing against assets like U.S. Treasury tokens. Horizon already supports collateral from issuers like Superstate and Centrifuge, with Chainlink providing valuation data.
