BlackRock’s BUIDL Fund Now Live on Aptos

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has expanded its USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) to Aptos, a blockchain built for high performance and institutional-grade finance. This move further cements Aptos as the premier blockchain for tokenized assets.

Tokenized assets represent a rapidly expanding market, with Boston Consulting Group projecting that tokenized funds could capture 1% of global mutual fund and ETF assets within the next seven years—a potential $600 billion market by 2030. The addition of BlackRock’s BUIDL fund to Aptos brings fresh momentum to this trend, positioning Aptos as a vital platform for institutions seeking secure, high-performance blockchain solutions.

Aptos Emerges as the Leading Platform for Tokenized Products

With BlackRock’s BUIDL fund now live on Aptos, the blockchain is integrated with some of the largest tokenized real-world assets in the market today, including:

  • BlackRock’s BUIDL fund: Originally launched on Ethereum in collaboration with Securitize Markets in March 2024, it became the first tokenized fund to surpass half a billion dollars in AUM just four months after inception.

  • Franklin Templeton OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund (FOBXX): Focused on U.S. government securities, this fund holds over $400 million in managed assets and, upon its launch on Aptos, attracted over $20 million in new subscriptions.

  • Ondo Finance’s USD Yield (USDY): This rounds out the top three, adding further diversity and value to the tokenized assets now available on Aptos.

These assets leverage Aptos’ industry-leading combination of security, performance, and flexibility, establishing it as the preferred network for global financial institutions.

The Future of Finance Is Playing Out on Aptos

Just two years old, Aptos has emerged as a standout Layer 1 blockchain, recognized for its sub-second finality, 99.99% uptime, and gas fees that are up to 100 times lower than other Layer 1 networks. Its architecture merges traditional financial stability with the agility of decentralized innovation, enabling high-speed transactions and industry-leading security for institutions and developers alike.

Aptos is setting a new standard for financial systems worldwide, unlocking access, efficiency, and opportunity for billions. As highlighted in last month’s Blockcrunch report, “Aptos is becoming the backbone of real-world asset tokenization and institutional finance solutions, offering the scalability and security needed for lasting impact.”
