BUIDL integrates with Binance ecosystem
BlackRock's USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), a $2.5 billion tokenized U.S. Treasury fund, has officially launched on BNB Chain, according to an announcement by Securitize. The move extends BUIDL's reach to eight blockchain platforms and positions it more prominently within the institutional digital asset ecosystem.

BUIDL, which debuted in March 2024, is designed to provide a stable, yield-bearing digital asset backed by U.S. Treasuries. It currently has approximately 93 holders and offers an annualized yield of around 3.7%, based on recent data from RWA.XYZ.
With this expansion, BUIDL can now be used as off-exchange collateral on Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. The integration enables institutional and advanced traders to use BUIDL as a capital-efficient trading asset, combining the stability of tokenized Treasuries with the flexibility of digital finance.
"This further establishes BUIDL's role as a foundational building block of onchain finance," Binance and BlackRock said in a joint statement. "It enables institutional users to unlock new efficiencies in capital deployment while maintaining exposure to tokenized Treasuries."
Institutional demand drives RWA growth on BNB Chain
Catherine Chen, Head of VIP & Institutional at Binance, noted that the demand for interest-bearing, dollar-pegged assets has been growing among institutional clients. She added that BUIDL is being integrated with Binance's triparty banking agents and its crypto-native custody service, Ceffu. While Ceffu faced regulatory scrutiny in 2023, it remains a central component of Binance's institutional offerings.
Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo emphasized the broader vision:
"We’re continuing to bring regulated real-world assets on-chain while unlocking new forms of utility that were previously out of reach."
The move also signals a strengthening relationship between traditional finance and blockchain platforms. In 2025, major financial and crypto institutions including Coinbase and Kraken have started listing BNB, underscoring growing interest in Binance's ecosystem.
BNB Chain itself has seen rising adoption this year, bolstered by the growth of platforms like Aster and integrations with Binance's wallet and alpha services. With the addition of BlackRock’s BUIDL, BNB Chain continues its evolution into a key player in the real-world asset (RWA) space.
