As a step in the finance and crypto industries, BlackRock, the world’s biggest asset manager, has recently launched a fund for tokenized assets on the Ethereum network.
Named the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund, it runs with the BUIDL token that is fully collateralized with cash, U.S. Treasury bills, and repurchase agreements. This approach ensures daily yield distribution to token holders through blockchain technology.

Securitize, a firm that performs tokenization and transfer agent functions of the fund, is the one in charge of it while the details of the investment process remain confidential.
