Aave Labs’ Horizon Teams with Ant Digital to Launch Ethereum RWA Market—Because Wall Street Needs Blockchain Training Wheels
Aave’s Horizon division just cut a deal with Ant Digital—because what’s better than tokenizing real-world assets? Doing it on Ethereum while traditional finance scrambles to catch up.
The play: Building a compliant RWA market that bridges DeFi and institutional capital. Think yield-bearing property deeds, carbon credits, and private equity—all wrapped in smart contracts.
Behind the scenes: Ant Digital brings regulatory tech chops from China’s fintech wars, while Aave supplies the liquidity infrastructure. Together? They’re betting RWAs will be crypto’s next trillion-dollar sandbox.
The kicker: This partnership drops as BlackRock quietly backpedals on its own tokenized fund promises. Maybe blockchain does work better without the middlemen after all.
