Aave Horizon Eyes Below-Investment-Grade Lending with Neuberger Securitize

Aave Horizon is considering a proposal to onboard Neuberger Securitize's High Income Tokenized Fund (HINC) as supply-only collateral. This move would bring below-investment-grade corporate bonds and loans onto Aave's institutional lending platform, expanding options beyond safer investment-grade assets.

HINC operates across multiple blockchains, offering flexibility in lending, while the supply-only status limits leverage risks for this higher-yield, higher-risk asset class. If approved, institutional users could borrow stablecoins like USDC and GHO against HINC holdings.
