Aave's Horizon Market has onboarded VanEck's VBILL Treasury Token Fund as eligible collateral, CoinDesk reports. This integration marks a significant step in bridging traditional finance with decentralized finance (DeFi). VBILL represents fractionalized ownership of U.S. Treasury bills. By adding VBILL, Aave enables institutions to leverage their holdings to borrow stablecoins, unlocking liquidity without selling their treasury bill exposure. This functionality is powered by Chainlink's NAVLink oracle, ensuring accurate and reliable asset valuation within the Aave ecosystem. The move is expected to attract more institutional participation in DeFi, offering a compliant and efficient way to utilize treasury bills for borrowing and lending activities within the Aave Horizon Market. This integration further solidifies Aave's position as a leading platform for institutional DeFi solutions. ```
