BUIDL (BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund)
⛏ Coming soon
Why BUIDL Matters for Solium
BUIDL is the “gateway drug” for serious tokenized finance.
It proves that TradFi giants are embracing blockchain infrastructure
It sets a compliance-first, yield-focused blueprint for tokenized RWAs
Solium can offer retail-aligned wrappers (e.g., $500 units) backed by BUIDL to democratize access
What is BUIDL?
BUIDL is the first tokenized money market fund launched by BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager. It provides exposure to U.S. dollar-denominated short-term government assets — such as:
U.S. Treasuries
Repurchase agreements (repos)
Cash equivalents
But here’s what makes it different: shares are issued and recorded on a public blockchain (Ethereum), allowing for on-chain settlement, visibility, and integration with smart contracts.

How BUIDL Works
Investors subscribe to BUIDL via a tokenized share purchase through Securitize.
Their capital is pooled and invested in short-term government securities.
The fund accrues daily interest, and yield is distributed in USDC directly to holders.
Investors can redeem tokens at par ($1) or transfer them on-chain between whitelisted wallets.
