Venus Launches E-Mode V2 with Isolated Groups for RWA Integration
**Venus Protocol has launched E-Mode V2**, introducing isolated E-Mode groups that enable integration of new asset types like RWAs into the core pool. **Key Features:** - Assets can access core pool liquidity while maintaining isolated risk parameters - Adjustable LTV ratios and borrowing restrictions for new assets - Maintains Venus security standards across all integrations **The Problem Solved:** Isolated pools previously lacked sufficient liquidity despite their safety benefits. The new **Isolated Mode** bridges this gap by allowing assets to tap into deep core pool liquidity. **Impact on RWAs:** This update positions Venus to safely onboard tokenized real-world assets at scale, potentially opening new partnerships as DeFi evolves. The upgrade maintains the same security standards while expanding asset diversity and capital efficiency across the protocol.
