TechFlow news, October 22: BlackRock's Digital Liquidity Fund BUIDL has added $500 million in tokenized assets deployed to Aptos, elevating it to second place in asset deployment rankings for the BUIDL fund, behind only Ethereum. At the time of writing, the total value of RWA tokenized assets on the Aptos chain has surpassed $1.2 billion, ranking third globally.
The BUIDL fund was jointly launched by BlackRock and tokenization infrastructure platform Securitize. Its underlying assets include low-risk, high-liquidity instruments such as cash, U.S. Treasury securities, and repurchase agreements. Initially deployed on Ethereum in March 2024, the fund expanded to chains including Aptos in November 2024.
This move reflects the accelerating trend of traditional financial giants shifting toward blockchain-based infrastructure. With its technological advantages in high performance, security, and low fees, Aptos is emerging as a key gateway for institutional asset tokenization.
