Resolv and Centrifuge Revolutionize DeFi with $100 Million Tokenized Credit Deal

A significant development is underway in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem as Resolv and Centrifuge collaborate on a groundbreaking deal. The two entities are introducing up to $100 million worth of tokenized credit as collateral within Aave Horizon, marking the largest real-world asset (RWA) transaction in DeFi history.

Aave Horizon is a branch of Aave, the largest existing DeFi protocol with nearly $28 billion in total value locked. The integration will enable Resolv to capture the spread between traditional credit yields and on-chain borrowing rates while diversifying its return sources.

According to Tim Shekikhachev, co-founder of Resolv Labs, this collaboration is not about replacing traditional finance but rather scaling it by integrating with DeFi. Tokenized credit such as JAAA acts as a counterweight anchored in global macroeconomic conditions, helping to mitigate the impact of falling crypto yields and leverage cycles.
