BlackRock’s BUIDL joins Aptos, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism and Polygon

by

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial industry, I find BlackRock’s expansion of its tokenized fund, BUIDL, to multiple blockchains an exciting development. Having witnessed the rapid growth and transformation of digital assets, it is evident that BlackRock is not only embracing this change but also leading the charge.

BlackRock is expanding its tokenized fund — BUIDL — to multiple blockchains.

BlackRock has revealed plans to extend the reach of its digital liquidity fund, the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund — BUIDL — by incorporating it onto five extra blockchain networks: Aptos, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, and Polygon. This expansion will be facilitated by Securitize’s tokenization process.

Beginning on the Ethereum network in March 2024, the BUIDL token rapidly grew to become the globe’s biggest tokenized investment fund by managed assets, achieving this feat within just 40 days of its launch.

BUIDL’s broader ecosystem 

BlackRock aims to boost access to the BUIDL ecosystem by creating fresh share categories on various blockchains. This move is expected to bring advantages to investors, decentralized autonomous organizations, and businesses dealing with digital assets.

Including these blockchains in the BUIDL ecosystem offers advantages for investors such as earning on-chain interest, facilitating peer-to-peer transfers, and receiving and distributing on-chain dividends. Each blockchain offers distinctive benefits: Arbitrum delivers low fees and swift transactions, Avalanche ensures scalability, while Aptos boasts enhanced security features.

Through the backing of BNY Mellon, BlackRock’s fund administrator, the seamless integration is being facilitated. This ensures consistency for investors as they navigate both digital and conventional financial markets.

This action reinforces BlackRock’s dedication to the advancement of digital finance, enabling developers and users across various environments to enjoy more freedom in creating and engaging with tokenized financial goods on the platforms they prefer.
