Carlos Domingo, CEO and co-founder of Securitize, the firm
responsible for tokenizing BUIDL, emphasized the importance of this
multi-chain approach in Wednesday’s press release by saying:
Real-world asset tokenization is scaling, and we’re excited to have
these blockchains added to increase the potential of the BUIDL
ecosystem. With these new chains we’ll start to see more investors
looking to leverage the underlying technology to increase
efficiencies on all the things that until now have been hard to do.
With the addition of these blockchains, BlackRock aims to provide
increased options and access for investors, allowing developers to
build applications that integrate seamlessly with the BUIDL fund.
BNY Mellon, which recently received a Bitcoin and crypto custody
license for institutional services, will play a key role in this
initiative as the fund administrator and custodian for BUIDL.
BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Achieves Unprecedented Growth On the crypto
ETF front, BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, has reached a remarkable
milestone, surpassing the $40 billion mark in assets under
management (AUM) just two weeks after hitting $30 billion.
This achievement comes in a record 211 days, shattering the
previous record of 1,253 days held by the iShares Core MSCI
Emerging Markets ETF (IEMG). IBIT is now positioned in the
top 1% of all ETFs by assets and at just 10 months old, it has
outperformed all 2,800 ETFs launched in the past decade, according
to ETF expert Eric Balchunas. Balchunas further highlighted that
Bitcoin ETFs collectively have crossed the $90 billion asset
threshold, following a significant $6 billion surge in the past few
days. This increase comprises $1 billion in new inflows and
$5 billion in market appreciation. The growing popularity of
Bitcoin ETFs indicates that they are now 72% of the way toward
surpassing gold ETFs in total assets. Related Reading: Justin Drake
