Users can now borrow RLUSD, PYUSD, and OUSD against selected crypto collateral, potentially increasing the liquidity and utility of these stablecoins within the DeFi space.
The partnership with Sentora, which has a TVL of $2.64B, underscores the growing trend of decentralized finance platforms leveraging external curation for market management and asset integration.
Aave's total value locked (TVL) currently stands at $17.41B, according to DeFiLlama, marking a 3.6% decrease over the past week. This suggests that while the platform remains a major player in the DeFi space, it is not immune to broader market fluctuations.

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 PYUSD ≈ ₦1,382.97 (about $0.9999), up 0.0% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.7% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
