Securitize, a leader in Real- World Asset (RWA) tokenization, and Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and number of users, announced that BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) is now available as collateral for Binance’s off-exchange trading.

This development further strengthens BUIDL's position as a core cornerstone of on-chain finance, enabling global institutional and professional traders to utilize capital more efficiently while maintaining investment exposure to tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds.

At the same time, BUIDL has launched a new share class on BNB Chain, one of the world’s leading blockchain ecosystems, to further expand the scope of investor access and enhance its interoperability with other on-chain financial applications.

“The expansion of BUIDL to the BNB Chain and its use as collateral on Binance further enhances its reach and utility,” said Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO of Securitize. “We continue to bring regulated real-world assets onto the blockchain, while unlocking new utility scenarios that were previously impossible.”

“Our institutional clients are constantly seeking stable assets that generate interest and can be held as collateral during trading,” said Catherine Chen, Head of VIP and Institutional Business at Binance. “By integrating BUIDL with our third-party banking partners and native crypto custody partner Ceffu, we can meet our clients’ needs and enable them to confidently scale their asset allocations while remaining compliant.”

“BNB Chain is designed for scalable, low-cost, and secure financial applications, and we are very excited to incorporate BUIDL into our ecosystem,” said Sarah Song, Head of Business Development at BNB Chain. “BUIDL is transforming real-world assets into programmable financial instruments, enabling entirely new on-chain investment strategies.”

“This milestone underscores our continued commitment to moving tokenization from concept to real-world market applications,” said Robbie Mitchnick, Global Head of Digital Assets at BlackRock. “By enabling BUIDL to operate as collateral within leading digital market infrastructures, we are helping to bring fundamental elements of traditional finance into the on-chain finance space.”

Launched in March 2024, BUIDL is BlackRock's first tokenized fund issued on a public blockchain. Tokenized by Securitize, it offers USD-denominated returns to qualified investors and features flexible custody options, daily dividends, and 24/7 peer-to-peer transfer functionality.

This integration is built on several major networks that BUIDL has previously supported, including Arbitrum, Aptos, Avalanche, Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon, and Solana.
