The RWA (Real-World Asset) track of DeFi lending giant Aave is rapidly heating up. It is reported that the Horizon marketplace, which focuses on tokenizing real assets, has performed remarkably — outstanding loans have surpassed $200 million, setting a new record. Even more impressive is that its deposit scale has approached $600 million, doubling since mid-October. This data reflects the continued optimism of institutions and investors in the RWA sector, as well as the deep demand for integration between DeFi and traditional finance. Against the backdrop of volatility in the crypto market, such real-asset-based lending products are gradually becoming a new driver of stable growth.

RWA really has some potential, Aave is playing this game quite steadily Institutions are starting to scoop up at the bottom? It seems that real assets are the way out I didn't expect Horizon to double so quickly, when will the 600 million in deposits break even Is traditional finance entering DeFi this attractive? It feels like making money is getting harder and harder Borrowing 200 million and still needing to borrow more, this logic is a bit extreme Now even RWA is starting to heat up, the industry is really about to change Could it be another sign of an upcoming crash... It looks stable but it's actually all just illusions Doubling growth, feels a bit too optimistic Aave is indeed risk-resistant, but this data inflation is getting a bit rapid Real asset lending is much more reliable than pure crypto, finally some industrial flavor

RWA this area is indeed quite interesting, Horizon's doubling growth is no joke Institutional entry is still reliable, definitely more solid than those air coins Aave really is looking for a way out with this, integrating traditional finance is the long-term business 200 million in outstanding loans, sounds like the risk isn't small... DeFi+RWA, this game is getting bigger and bigger Real asset backing is more stable than pure on-chain products, no wonder institutions love this Still, it depends on how the market develops next, it's a bit early to talk about new momentum now

The RWA track is indeed hot, and Horizon's data this time really stands out, with 600 million in deposits doubling... But to be honest, do institutions really have such strong confidence, or are they just fleeing the volatility of the crypto market?

20 million unpaid, 600 million in deposits... After research and analysis, these numbers are indeed impressive, but take a look at those large wallet addresses—doesn't the liquidity seem a bit overly concentrated? RWA is a real demand, but don't be fooled by the surface of doubled growth. The key is to look at the background of the capital providers. Aave's move is quite good, but be cautious of the old tricks institutions use to harvest profits. It's worth planning, but don't be greedy. Start with small amounts to test the waters.

RWA is really here this time. Aave's move is quite impressive, doubling 600 million in deposits is pretty strong. Institutions are really placing bets. It seems that traditional finance still needs to come to Web3 and give it a try.

RWA really is a way out, much more reliable than those meme coins. Wait, the data growth rate is so fast, could there be some risks we haven't seen? Aave's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, it's like aiming to dominate the DeFi landscape. 600 million in deposits doubled, feels a bit exaggerated? Let's see how long it can last. Finally, something stable. The integration with traditional finance is indeed the trend. Borrow 200 million, deposit 600 million, this ratio looks a bit risky... RWA has really taken off, but when institutions enter, it also means risks are coming.

This is the right path. RWA is really the breaking point, no hype, no negativity.

RWA this wave is really here, the 600 million in deposits doubling is no joke. A lot of money from traditional finance has poured in, finally some reliable stuff. The 200 million in loans has broken a new high, it seems big players are betting on this direction. Horizon has some potential, definitely more solid than those air projects. Wait, will Aave raise prices again... It’s so hot, I should have already positioned myself.
