 <p>Fund management giant BlackRock has deposited $100M in USD Coin (USDC) on the Ethereum blockchain for the launch of a tokenized digital asset fund.</p>
 <p>A filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shows the institution set up the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund in 2023, but has yet to launch it.</p>
 <p>Securitize, a digital asset tokenization firm, will offer the fund and conduct the token sale, the filing said. The minimum investment is set at $100,000</p>

 <p>An ERC-20 token known as BUIDL was launched on March 5 to tokenize the fund. Data from Etherscan shows BUIDL has one holder and a maximum supply of 100 tokens.</p>

 <p>The development shows the world’s largest asset manager moving deeper into the crypto realm after it launched its BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF in Janaury. IBIT has been the best-performing Bitcoin ETF since launching and currently holds 237,339 BTC, making it the single-largest holder of Bitcoin.</p>
