Aave Labs has proposed adding Tether America USD (USAT) to the Aave V4 Core Instance on Avalanche through the protocol’s Direct to AIP governance route. The Oct. 19 proposal identifies the token contract as 0x9A5926fd88F747c357738b1e82aFB46AB80f0A6b, placing USAT in line for a deployment that Aave and Avalanche have tied to institutional tokenized-collateral lending.
