Sentora Launches New DeFi Strategies, Channeling Institutional Capital to Aave Horizon

First DeFi strategies for Aave Horizon in the Sentora Smart Yields platform.

After a few weeks of work, Sentora has deployed the first batch of strategies for Aave Horizon which have translated into large institutional TVL going into the protocol.

The intersection of real-world assets (RWAs) and DeFi is shaping this crypto cycle’s most durable narrative. The promise is straightforward — bring yield and credit markets on-chain — but the execution has been messy. Most RWA yield strategies still rely on borrowing stablecoins against off-chain collateral, creating liquidation risk due to limited on-chain liquidity. Even more, many RWA platforms aren’t yet architected for seamless, scalable integration with DeFi rails.

Aave Horizon changes that equation.

What Aave Horizon Enables

Aave Horizon is an institution-focused lending market built on Ethereum (Aave v3.3) that lets qualified investors borrow stablecoins against permissioned, tokenized RWAs — think Treasuries or fund shares — while allowing anyone to supply stablecoins permissionlessly to earn yield. Issuer-level compliance is preserved where it matters, and liquidity remains open where it counts. In practice: institutions post tokenized RWAs, DeFi suppliers provide stablecoins, and smart contracts mediate risk and accounting.

Sentora’s Early Participation in Aave Horizon

Since Horizon’s launch, Sentora has partnered closely with Aave to accelerate adoption among institutional clients. Over the past few days, our clients have deployed sizable capital — measured in the millions — across a set of vetted strategies in Horizon, becoming meaningful contributors to the protocol’s TVL.

Our initial strategies use Horizon as a yield engine for BTC and ETH holders. The core idea is straightforward: deposit ETH and BTC, execute the necessary stablecoin swaps, and deploy the resulting stablecoin liquidity into Horizon. These strategies require sophisticated, real-time liquidation risk management — monitoring collateral health, market liquidity, and gas conditions to avoid adverse unwind dynamics.

Why This Matters

• Increase Aave Horizon adoption across core crypto holders.
• Validation of Horizon across crypto institutions.
• A more diversified strategy in the Sentora Smart Yields platform.

What’s Next

In the coming days, Sentora will roll out a second wave of strategies designed to unlock new capital channels into Horizon and broaden the menu for BTC/ETH treasuries that want RWA-anchored yield without leaving the crypto surface area.

Aave Horizon is quickly becoming critical infrastructure for RWA-DeFi convergence. We’re committed to contributing thoughtfully — and sustainably — to its growth.
