Aave Enables 24/7 Pricing for Tokenized Stocks With Chainlink

Aave is expanding the role of tokenized equities in decentralized finance by integrating Chainlink’s 24/7 pricing infrastructure into its Horizon lending platform. The integration allows eligible institutional investors to use tokenized U.S. stocks as collateral with updated valuations even when traditional exchanges are closed. The development addresses a structural limitation in blockchain-based financial markets. While decentralized protocols operate continuously, conventional stock exchanges follow fixed trading schedules, creating potential pricing gaps for assets that remain locked in onchain lending positions. The new system combines traditional market data with prices collected from multiple perpetual futures trading venues .
