Uniswap partners with Securitize to bring BlackRock's Digital Liquidation Fund onto the chain, unlocking 24/7 trading and driving UNI up 30% in 24 hours.
A significant step forward in connecting traditional finance with the decentralized economy was marked when Uniswap and Securitize Markets announced a strategic partnership to deploy BlackRock 's $2.4 billion USD Institutional Liquidation Fund to UniswapX. The agreement aims to bring BUIDL shares to the decentralized trading platform, unlocking on- chain trading capabilities with better liquidation and faster settlements.
According to a press release dated February 11, the integration of BUIDL into UniswapX will open up new liquidation options for holders, while bridging the gap between traditional finance and the decentralized economy. The native cryptocurrency UNI has surged 30% in the last 24 hours, bringing its seven-day gain to 4.26%, currently trading at $3.86 after soaring to $4.37 on Wednesday.
Hayden Adams, Founder and CEO of Uniswap Labs, said the partnership aligns with Uniswap 's broader vision of making value exchange cheaper, faster, and more accessible, while creating efficient markets with better liquidation and faster settlements. The agreement stipulates Securitize Markets will support trading for BUIDL investors through Uniswap's RFQ framework.
Ethereum dominates the global Tokenize wave.
Carlos Domingo, CEO of Securitize, said the main goal is to combine the trust and governance standards of traditional finance with the speed and openness of on- chain operations.
BUIDL trading is currently available 24/7, 365 days a year; however, access is currently limited to investors on the approved list. The partnership was announced less than two weeks after Securitize reported an 841% revenue growth in the previous nine months, ahead of its public listing on Nasdaq.
Robert Mitchnick, Global Head of Crypto Assets at BlackRock, said the alliance is a significant step toward integrating Tokenize assets into decentralized finance, representing a substantial advance in the field.
This information comes amid the continued expansion of real-world asset Tokenize , with firms like Mercado Bitcoin predicting a Tokenize boom in 2026. BlackRock has recently expanded its BUIDL reach by deploying on Aptos, Polygon, Optimism, BNB Chain, and Solana, and integrating with DeFi protocols like Euler through bundled fund versions.
BlackRock notes Ethereum's dominance in the 2026 Tokenize outlook due to the network's widespread use in building decentralized applications and Token infrastructure. BlackRock strategist Jay Jacobs said Ethereum is on track to benefit significantly as Tokenize continues to accelerate, describing the network as the toll station of Tokenize with a near-monopoly position.
According to on- chain data, Ethereum accounts for nearly 61% of the total Tokenize asset value of over $200 billion, while BNB Chain accounts for only about 10% and Solana ranks third with a market share of 4.52%. Other networks are also joining the Tokenize wave, with Ripple establishing a strategic partnership with Aviva, a UK-based asset management firm managing $345 billion, to promote the Tokenize of traditional fund structures on the XRP Ledger.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong believes that Tokenize expands access to global markets by lowering barriers to entry and enabling investors to build assets regardless of geographical location.
