Securitize has announced that the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), which is tokenized by Securitize, has launched a new share class on BNB Chain, with interoperability powered exclusively by Wormhole. This expansion brings BlackRock's $2.5B+ (as of 11/11/25) tokenized treasury fund to one of the world's most active blockchain ecosystems, featuring over 1,000 protocols and $7.8 billion in Total Value Locked.
Launched in March 2024 as BlackRock's first tokenized fund on a public blockchain, BUIDL has established itself as a cornerstone product in institutional onchain asset management. The fund offers qualified investors access to U.S. dollar yields with flexible custody, daily dividend payouts, and 24/7/365 peer-to-peer transfers across multiple blockchain networks.
BUIDL is now accessible across nine blockchain networks: Arbitrum, Aptos, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon, and Solana. The addition of BNB Chain provides access to one of crypto's largest DeFi ecosystems, where BUIDL can integrate with lending protocols, yield strategies, and liquidity venues across the network's high-throughput infrastructure.
BNB Chain's extensive protocol ecosystem and cost-effectiveness make it an ideal environment for institutional tokenized assets to reach a broader investor base. The expansion demonstrates institutional demand for multichain infrastructure, with 68% of BUIDL's assets under management now deployed beyond Ethereum.
“BUIDL’s expansion to BNB Chain represents another important step in making tokenized real-world assets accessible across the most widely used and scalable blockchain environments,” said Carlos Domingo, Co-founder and CEO of Securitize. “With Wormhole’s interoperability, we’re building a connected tokenized economy that allows assets like BUIDL to move where the liquidity and innovation are.”
As Securitize’s official interoperability provider, Wormhole enables secure multichain transfers for tokenized funds issued by BlackRock, Apollo, Hamilton Lane, and VanEck. The platform has facilitated over $70 billion in asset transfers, validating over 1.1 billion messages across 40+ blockchains.
Securitize, the leader in tokenizing real-world assets, provides the end-to-end infrastructure enabling BUIDL's tokenized structure through its SEC-registered broker-dealer and digital transfer agent solutions. This regulated framework, combined with Wormhole's secure multichain infrastructure, enables institutional-grade tokenized assets to operate across multiple blockchain ecosystems.
Wormhole provides the backbone for onchain finance," said Robinson Burkey, Co-Founder of Wormhole Foundation. "By enabling secure cross-chain transfers for tokenized funds like BUIDL, we're allowing real-world assets to flow seamlessly across networks, enhancing accessibility and liquidity for institutions and investors.
The expansion to BNB Chain reflects a broader shift in institutional tokenized asset strategy. With over two-thirds of BUIDL's assets deployed beyond Ethereum, institutions are demonstrating clear demand for multichain access to maximize liquidity, reach diverse user bases, and integrate with specialized DeFi protocols across different networks.
Wormhole's infrastructure enables this multichain approach while maintaining the security and regulation standards institutional investors require. As tokenized treasury products continue scaling, the ability to move assets efficiently between networks becomes critical infrastructure rather than optional functionality.
This launch positions BUIDL to capture opportunities across BNB Chain's extensive DeFi ecosystem while maintaining seamless connectivity to its existing blockchain deployments, further establishing the fund as the leading institutional tokenized treasury product in the market.
Wormhole is the leading interoperability platform that connects traditional finance and the internet economy. Wormhole connects institutions to liquidity and users on over 40 leading blockchain networks, enabling use cases that span stablecoins, tokenized assets, DeFi, and more.
