BlackRock’s BUIDL Tokenized on BNB Chain

BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), the world’s largest tokenized real-world asset (RWA), is now officially live on BNB Chain. Powered by Securitize and Wormhole, this launch represents a milestone moment for tokenized capital markets — bridging institutional trust with onchain performance.

Expanding Institutional Yield Onchain

BUIDL’s new share class on BNB Chain gives qualified investors access to tokenized U.S. dollar yields in a fully regulated framework.

The fund, which invests in U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements, and cash, allows investors to earn daily yield directly through blockchain infrastructure while maintaining all the compliance standards expected from the world’s largest asset manager.

Crucially, BUIDL will now be accepted as collateral on Binance, enabling capital-efficient trading strategies and seamless integration with crypto-native liquidity. 

Institutional desks and sophisticated investors can now deploy BUIDL as active collateral while still benefiting from tokenized Treasury exposure.
 
This move shifts tokenized RWAs from passive investments to programmable, yield-bearing financial instruments that interact directly with DeFi and exchange ecosystems.

The Convergence of Trust and Speed

The significance of this launch lies not just in scale, but in what it represents — the institutionalization of onchain yield.
 
By combining BlackRock’s brand of trust and transparency with Securitize’s regulated tokenization platform and BNB Chain’s high-performance infrastructure, BUIDL becomes a blueprint for the next phase of digital finance.

“BNB Chain is designed for scalable, low-cost, and secure financial applications. We’re excited to welcome BUIDL to our ecosystem. It’s turning real-world assets into programmable financial instruments — enabling entirely new types of investment strategies onchain.”

Sarah Song, Head of Business Development at BNB Chain

This combination transforms what were once isolated financial products into interoperable building blocks — real-world assets with composability, utility, and yield.

Securitize: The Engine of Tokenized Finance

At the center of BUIDL’s expansion is Securitize, the platform making regulated onchain assets possible.
 
With more than $4 billion in tokenized assets under management, Securitize provides end-to-end infrastructure — including digital transfer agency services, investor onboarding, and fund administration — giving institutional investors compliant access to blockchain-native markets.

“Expanding BUIDL to the BNB Chain and making it available as collateral on Binance further extends its accessibility. It reinforces our mission to bring regulated real-world assets onchain while unlocking new forms of utility that were previously out of reach.” 

Carlos Domingo, Co-founder & CEO of Securitize

Securitize’s partnership with Wormhole ensures BUIDL can move securely across multiple chains, maintaining interoperability between ecosystems like Ethereum, Avalanche, and now BNB Chain.

Beyond Tokenization: The New Financial Infrastructure

The arrival of BUIDL on BNB Chain is a proof of concept for the future of capital markets.

BNB Chain has positioned itself as a hub for onchain financial infrastructure, connecting stablecoins, DeFi protocols, and tokenized assets in a unified environment. With low transaction costs, high throughput, and a growing ecosystem of regulated partners, it’s becoming a natural home for institutional onchain activity.

This latest integration shows that tokenized assets are no longer an experiment. They’re being woven into the operating systems of global finance — bringing 24/7 liquidity, real-time settlement, and open access to instruments once limited to institutional channels.
