MIAMI, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Securitize, the leader in tokenizing real-world assets, announced that qualified institutions can now convert their USDC to USD through Securitize’s integration with Zero Hash, a leading crypto and stablecoin infrastructure platform which facilitates conversion between U.S. dollars and digital assets, to subscribe into BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL). 

“The introduction of the integration feature between USDC to USD to allow investors to subscribe into BUIDL has been in high demand since the launch and we expect this will further accelerate adoption of the fund,” said Carlos Domingo, Co-founder and CEO, Securitize. “As we drive the digitization of capital markets through tokenization, we are creating an ecosystem that will ensure a smooth and efficient transaction process that is natively on chain.” 

Enhancing On-Chain Investor Experience

Historically, it has been hard for Web3 native firms to conveniently access high-quality stable investments as these are normally offered through traditional finance channels. BlackRock’s first tokenized fund issued on a public blockchain, BUIDL, provides qualified investors with the opportunity to earn U.S. dollar yields on-chain.

Securitize’s integration with Zero Hash helps digital assets companies to stay on-chain for the entire investment lifecycle. Zero Hash will allow investors to use their USDC to facilitate investment in BUIDL.

BUIDL, launched in March 2024, offers investors benefits by enabling the issuance and trading of ownership on a blockchain, expanding investor access to on-chain offerings, providing near instantaneous and transparent settlement, and allowing for transfers across platforms. 

BUIDL, which is the world’s largest tokenized fund with $550M in AUM as of Oct. 15, 2024, seeks to offer a stable value of $1 per token and pays daily accrued dividends directly to investors’ wallets as new tokens each month. BUIDL invests 100% of its total assets in cash, U.S. Treasury bills, and repurchase agreements, allowing investors the opportunity to earn U.S. dollar yield while holding the token on-chain.

Qualified institutions interested in purchasing BlackRock’s BUIDL can find more information and initiate the investment process by visiting Securitize.io.
