BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund, known as BUIDL, has distributed $100 million in cumulative dividends since launching in March 2024, according to its tokenization partner Securitize. The payouts are derived from yields on short-term US Treasurys, repurchase agreements, and cash equivalents, and are delivered directly to investors onchain.
Initially issued on Ethereum, BUIDL has expanded to several additional blockchains, including Solana, Avalanche, Aptos, and Optimism. The fund allows institutional investors to hold dollar-pegged tokens while receiving income distributions through blockchain-based settlement, mirroring traditional money market fund mechanics in a digital format.
The milestone underscores how tokenized securities are moving beyond pilot programs into operational products with meaningful scale. While adoption continues to grow, regulators and industry bodies have flagged potential liquidity and operational risks as tokenized funds become more integrated into broader financial markets.
