Binance has announced the addition of support for BlackRock’s tokenized BUIDL fund to its institutional off-exchange settlement services. This move reflects a growing trend among institutional investors towards tokenized real-world assets, as reported by CoinDesk. The financial sector is increasingly seeking yield-bearing, compliant instruments that can be held directly on public blockchains. Tokenized U.S. Treasuries, liquidity funds, and short-term debt products have seen significant growth due to the demand for safer, transparent, and blockchain-native collateral.
According to BlackRock’s newsroom, the BUIDL fund represents the firm’s first tokenized public fund and is backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries managed within a regulated framework. The fund distributes yield daily on-chain, supports 24/7 transferability, and offers verifiable asset backing through regulated digital-asset custodians. BlackRock emphasizes that this provides institutions with access to money-market exposure via tokenized instruments while combining traditional treasury stability with blockchain efficiency.
Securitize, the platform responsible for issuing BUIDL on-chain, highlights that tokenized funds offer programmable compliance, real-time auditability, and automated investor-qualification checks. The company notes that tokenized treasuries are rapidly gaining traction as low-risk, yield-generating digital assets within institutional blockchain adoption frameworks. Securitize further explains that such products can be held with licensed custodians and integrated into settlement workflows without necessitating centralized exchange involvement.
Binance describes itself as a global digital-asset platform providing spot and derivatives markets alongside institutional-grade custody and off-exchange settlement solutions. Its VIP & Institutional division aims to integrate blockchain-based settlement tools with traditional financial systems through triparty banking arrangements and segregated-custody trading models. Binance’s mission is to offer secure infrastructure connecting traditional finance with the broader blockchain ecosystem.
