The largest tokenized RWA has debuted on the BNB chain. Investors can now access tokenized USD yield on a user-friendly platform. Real-world assets exceeded $36 billion, following a 6% increase in the previous month.
The BNB Chain welcomed a new resident today as BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUILD) went live on the platform.
Strategic launch leveraging Securitize’s compliant tokenization platform and Wormhole adds one of the most regulated digital assets to Binance’s thriving financial ecosystem.
The strategic move comes amid a huge spotlight on real-world assets, which have seen their value rise 6% in the past month to more than $36 billion.
BUILD’s debut reflects the convergence of blockchain and traditional finance.
BlackRock is a leading asset management company that brings its trust, foundation, and compliance to BNB Chain, a platform known for its accessibility, low fees, and high speed.
Commenting on today’s arrival, Sarah Song, BNB Chain Business Development Director, said:
BNB Chain is designed for scalable, low-cost, and secure financial applications, and we are excited to welcome BUILD to our ecosystem. BUILD turns real-world assets into programmable financial instruments, enabling entirely new types of investment strategies on-chain.
Meanwhile, this development introduces a new share class to the Binance ecosystem, offering eligible investors access to tokenized USD yields in a blockchain setting.
BlackRock’s tokenized assets also secure new utility. Binance will accept BUILD as collateral.
This allows professional traders and financial institutions to seamlessly deploy funds without giving up exposure to U.S. Treasury-related RWAs.
This use case highlights a broader shift in the way on-chain systems integrate real-world assets.
These products are maturing from static representations to practical instruments that can function across DeFi and TradFi environments.
Leverage Securitize’s compliant infrastructure
Securitize is a regulated tokenization company with over $4 billion of tokenized AUM (assets under management) and is powering BlackRock’s expansion into the BNB Chain.
Securitize handles everything from fund management to digital transaction agency services.
This gives clients access to enterprise-grade RWA within a regulated framework.
At the same time, BUILD unlocks new use cases that did not previously exist for real-world tokenized assets.
Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo said:
Extending BUILD to the BNB Chain and making it available as collateral on the Binance exchange further extends its accessibility and strengthens our mission to bring regulated real-world assets on-chain while unlocking new forms of utility that were previously out of reach.
RWA and stablecoin market will grow
The launch of BUILD on the BNB Chain comes amidst impressive growth in on-chain real-world assets.
According to data from RWAxyz, the value of RWA on public blockchains increased by 5.91% in the past 30 days to $36.06 billion.
Furthermore, the number of holders increased by 10.78% to 537,549 people, and the number of asset issuers reached 249 companies.
Such numbers reflect a thriving ecosystem of companies tokenizing regulated real-world assets.
Stablecoins also performed well despite the turmoil in the crypto market, with their value increasing by 0.79% over the month to $299.76 billion.
Furthermore, stablecoin holders increased by 3.39% to $202.89 million in that period, demonstrating unwavering demand for digital financial products that ensure liquidity, compliance, and stability.
