Binance Accepts BlackRock’s BUIDL as Collateral as New Share Class Launches on BNB Chain

Institutions can keep tokenized Treasury holdings at custody partners to obtain trading credit.

Overview

  • BlackRock’s tokenized USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) is now eligible as off-exchange collateral on Binance for institutional clients.
  • A new BUIDL share class has gone live on BNB Chain, opening the tokenized Treasury asset to that network’s DeFi ecosystem.
  • Securitize provides the compliant tokenization and administration for BUIDL while Wormhole enables cross-chain utility.
  • Binance integrated BUIDL with triparty banking arrangements and its custody partner Ceffu so clients can post collateral without moving assets on-exchange.
  • BUIDL has about $2.5 billion on public blockchains, pays an annualized yield reported around 3.7%–4%, charges management fees near 0.2%–0.5%, and remains limited to qualified investors.
