Key Developments in Institutional Adoption of Tokenized Assets

BlackRock's BUIDL fund has been integrated into Binance's institutional system, enabling institutional users to use it as collateral for custodial transactions as of November 14. This integration enhances institutional capital efficiency and liquidity access, advancing the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market within both traditional and decentralized finance landscapes.

BlackRock's BUIDL fund is now embedded in BNB Chain as of November. Institutional entities are permitted to employ BUIDL for trading while gaining access to a new share class on the BNB Chain. This shift underscores institutional adoption of tokenized RWAs. The inclusion of BUIDL amplifies capital efficiency by enabling hedging, leveraging, and arbitrage trades with yield-bearing assets. Institutions are poised to benefit from improved liquidity and lower counterparty risks.

Catherine Chen, Head of VIP & Institutional at Binance, stated, "Our institutional clients have asked for more interest-bearing stable assets they can hold as collateral while actively trading on our exchange. Integrating BUIDL with our banking triparty partners and our crypto-native custody partner, Ceffu, meets their needs and enables our clients to confidently scale allocation while meeting compliance requirements."
