- BUIDL joins BNB Chain with a new share class, expanding access to tokenized U.S. dollar yields through regulated infrastructure.
- Binance now accepts BUIDL as off-exchange collateral, offering institutions added flexibility through custody partner Ceffu.
- BUIDL’s $2.5B fund broadens its network reach as sentiment around BNB and Bitcoin shifts across retail trading platforms.
BlackRock’s tokenized fund BUIDL moved to the BNB Chain following support from Securitize and Wormhole, and CZ publicly welcomed the development. CZ said, “Welcome BlackRock to BNB Chain and Binance,” noting the firm’s $13 trillion in assets under management.
The expansion brings the market’s largest tokenized real-world asset onto BNB Chain while enabling its use as off-exchange collateral on Binance. The update widens access for on-chain investors and introduces a new share class tied to U.S. dollar yields. The shift comes as BUIDL’s market size continues to grow and as institutions look for regulated instruments with broader operational flexibility.
BUIDL Moves to BNB Chain
The expansion introduces BUIDL to a new network after earlier deployments on Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, Polygon and Aptos. The fund, launched with Securitize in 2024, offers qualified investors exposure to U.S. Treasury-backed yields. BUIDL currently manages roughly $2.5 billion, according to rwa.xyz, and provides a 4% yield.
This move to BNB Chain adds another regulated asset to the network as developers push for scalable financial applications. Sarah Wong, Head of Business Development at BNB Chain, said the chain is built for low-cost and secure activity and emphasized BUIDL’s role as it enters the ecosystem.
Binance Adds BUIDL as Off-Exchange Collateral
The fund’s acceptance as collateral on Binance creates another operational channel for institutions. According to Binance, eligible clients can now use BUIDL shares to secure trading positions without holding assets directly on the exchange.
The arrangement works through Ceffu and triparty banking partners, which manage custody and risk controls. Robbie Mitchnick, Global Head of Digital Assets at BlackRock, said the integration supports the transfer of traditional financial tools into on-chain environments. This expansion follows BlackRock’s broader effort to widen access to regulated digital instruments across multiple networks.
Tokenized Yield Products Gain Wider Reach
BUIDL’s arrival on BNB Chain adds a regulated yield product to a network often used for high-volume financial applications. The launch also extends BlackRock’s tokenization strategy by offering another route for on-chain investors seeking dollar-linked exposure.
Carlos Domingo, Co-founder and CEO of Securitize, said the rollout strengthens the fund’s reach and functionality. Meanwhile, BNB traded nearly 1% higher after the announcement, though broader market sentiment remained mixed. Retail sentiment on stayed bearish for BNB, while Bitcoin sentiment shifted to neutral. This environment sets the backdrop as institutions explore tokenized instruments for efficiency and collateral flexibility.
