Known as the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund, this innovative venture is represented by the blockchain-based BUIDL token. The fund, backed by cash, U.S. Treasury bills, and repurchase agreements, promises daily yield payouts to token holders via blockchain rails. Securitize serves as the transfer agent and tokenization platform, while BNY Mellon assumes custodial duties. Anchorage Digital Bank NA, BitGo, Coinbase, and Fireblocks are key participants in the fund's ecosystem.
