The fund’s growth trajectory accelerated after real-world asset tokenization firm Ondo Finance significantly increased its holdings of BUIDL tokens. Ondo Finance utilizes BUIDL as a primary backing asset for its OUSG token, contributing to the fund’s robust market position.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Since its launch on March 15, BlackRock’s BUIDL has consistently outperformed other tokenized treasury funds. It surpassed the Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund (BENJI) within six weeks of its inception and has maintained its position as the largest tokenized treasury fund globally. This leadership underscores BlackRock’s strategic initiative to leverage blockchain technology to enhance liquidity management and investor access to digital assets.</span></p>

The fund distributes daily accrued dividends directly to investors every month through its partnership with Securitize, a leading platform for real-world asset tokenization and digital securities management.</span></p>

This substantial investment reflects Ondo Finance’s confidence in BUIDL as a secure and reliable asset for backing its OUSG token. Additionally, Mountain Protocol, a prominent stablecoin issuer, utilizes BUIDL to collateralize its permissionless yield-bearing stablecoin, USDM, contributing further to the fund’s ecosystem and liquidity.</span></p>

In the crypto update, Ethereum remains the dominant blockchain platform for tokenization, accounting for over 75% of total treasury fund value.

Fink’s vision aligns with industry forecasts by Boston Consulting Group, which anticipates blockchain-based asset tokenization to grow into a $16 trillion market by 2030. This growth trajectory includes U.S. Treasurys and a diverse range of assets such as stocks, real estate, and commodities, expanding opportunities for digital asset investment and liquidity management.</span></p>

Nevertheless, major asset management firms like WisdomTree continue to explore and implement tokenization strategies for real-world assets (RWAs). Alongside traditional firms, blockchain-native companies such as Ondo Finance, Backed Finance, Matrixdock, Maple Finance, and Swarm are pioneering innovative approaches to digital asset-backed securities, fostering growth and resilience in the digital asset ecosystem.
