They’ve partnered with Securitize to launch their BUIDL fund, a special kind of digital fund, on five different blockchains.
These blockchains include Aptos, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, and Polygon. This move makes it easier for people to invest in BlackRock’s tokenized treasury fund, BUIDL, through more blockchain networks. It opens new doors for investors.
What’s BUIDL?
BUIDL is BlackRock’s tokenized treasury fund, which means it’s a type of digital investment fund. When something is “tokenized,” it means that shares of the fund are represented by digital tokens, which people can buy and trade. These tokens make it easier and faster to invest in big funds like BlackRock’s, allowing people to take part without traditional paperwork. BlackRock has chosen five blockchains that are popular for their speed, low costs, and secure technology. By adding BUIDL to these blockchains, they’re giving more people access to the fund.
Each blockchain has its benefits. Some are super fast, some are low-cost, and others offer unique features for investors. By putting BUIDL on different blockchains, BlackRock makes it easier for investors to find what fits best for them.
