Aave Horizon taps perpetual futures to price stock collateral on weekends, Chainlink says
Summary
Aave’s institutional Horizon platform is using Chainlink 24/7 to provide weekend reference prices for tokenized stock collateral. When exchanges are closed, the service uses quotes from perpetual-futures markets and delivers prices through onchain feeds. If integrated into lending risk rules, weekend price declines could reduce collateral values and trigger liquidations before stock markets reopen. The reference price does not ensure buyers or access to redemption, and details such as the initial equity tokens and liquidation settings have not been disclosed. Horizon is separate from Aave’s Base Equities Hub, whose feeds previously held prices over weekends.
