Aave has expanded its V4 lending protocol beyond Ethereum for the first time by deploying it on Avalanche to support tokenized real-world asset lending and institutional credit markets.
Summary
- Aave V4 has launched on Avalanche in its first deployment outside Ethereum.
- The rollout focuses on institutional lending backed by tokenized real-world assets.
- AAVE fell over 3% despite the launch as broader crypto market weakness persisted.
According to an announcement from Aave, the deployment brings the protocol’s latest lending infrastructure to Avalanche, a network already used for decentralized finance, tokenization, and institutional blockchain applications.
