BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) Reaches $2.5 Billion Milestone
BlackRock's BUIDL fund reached approximately $100 million in distributed dividends and surpassed $2 billion in total asset value by December 30, 2025, establishing itself as a dominant force in the tokenized treasury market.
Recent Expansion and Integration
Securitize announced that BUIDL launched a new share class on BNB Chain, with interoperability powered exclusively by Wormhole. BlackRock BUIDL is now available for qualified investors on BNB Chain and can be used as collateral on Binance, expanding institutional access and utility for tokenized US dollar yields.
68% of BUIDL's assets under management are now deployed beyond Ethereum, reflecting strong institutional demand for multichain infrastructure. BUIDL is now accessible across nine blockchain networks: Arbitrum, Aptos, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon, and Solana.
Competitive Landscape
JPMorgan Chase launched its own tokenized money market fund, My OnChain Net Yield Fund (MONY), on the Ethereum blockchain, seeded with $100 million, mirroring BlackRock's BUIDL by offering on-chain yield and signaling a broader trend of traditional financial institutions entering the tokenized asset space.
Fund Performance and Features
BUIDL offers qualified investors access to U.S. dollar yields on-chain with flexible custody, daily dividend payouts, and near real-time 24/7/365 peer-to-peer transfers, unlocking innovative utility for institutions spanning treasury management, stablecoin backing, DeFi access, and collateral for trading.
Unlike stablecoins like Tether and USDC, BUIDL pays out the yield it collects from its reserves, with the current yield roughly around 4%, with BlackRock charging a management fee of 0.2% to 0.5%.
Strategic Partnerships
JupUSD is initially backed 90% by Ethena's USDtb, which is itself collateralized by BlackRock's tokenized USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), demonstrating the fund's growing role as foundational infrastructure in the DeFi ecosystem.
