🏦TradFi is closer than it looks BUIDL, launched by BlackRock and Securitize, has quickly become a symbol of how TradFi and DeFi are merging. In just a short time its TVL surpassed $2.3B, turning into a core piece of DeFi infrastructure. ➡️ Solves key TradFi pain points: manual settlements, limited trading hours, and compliance bottlenecks ➡️ Tokenization brings 24/7 trading, instant transfers, and automated compliance via Securitize ➡️ All assets are parked in cash, T-bills, repo agreements, and US Treasury obligations — giving stability and yield ➡️ Income is paid through monthly rebases: token price stays $1, but balances grow ➡️ Over $70M has already been distributed to investors ➡️ Ecosystem footprint spans Ethereum, Solana, Aptos, and multiple L2s ➡️ Used as collateral: 76% of USDtb at Ethena, 18% of frxUSD at Frax, ~4.7% of TVL at Elixir ➡️ First major DeFi integration came via Euler, where sBUIDL can be used as collateral to borrow stablecoins BlackRock positions BUIDL as a bridge. Institutions get onchain efficiency, DeFi users get direct access to yield tied to US rates. And if this experiment works, it won’t be the last Wall Street product to cross over. 🐴Powered by White Horse
