Citi Research has identified $AAVE as one of the important real-world use cases for tokenized finance, with a particular focus on how blockchain can make collateral more mobile and useful.

Aave already operates as a major on-chain lending market, where users can supply assets, borrow against collateral and manage liquidity through smart contracts.

S&P Global reported about $19.2B in Aave TVL in September 2026, while Aave’s newer infrastructure is expanding toward tokenized real-world assets and institutional lending.

Citi’s broader tokenization research also expects tokenized assets to reach $5.5T by 2030 in its base case, with tokenized securities becoming increasingly useful as collateral and financial infrastructure.
