Securitize Bridges DeFi and Traditional Finance with BlackRock’s BUIDL Fund

Securitize has pioneered a groundbreaking integration between decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional finance by enabling DeFi functionality for BlackRock’s tokenized treasury fund, BUIDL. The launch of sBUIDL—an ERC-20 token representing locked BUIDL holdings—marks a significant milestone in the convergence of these two financial worlds.

The sBUIDL token, created using Securitize’s sToken Vault technology, allows investors to participate in DeFi activities on the Euler lending protocol via Avalanche while maintaining exposure to U.S. Treasury bills. The token maintains a 1:1 redeemable value, backed by SEC-regulated entities, offering both transparency and stability in the volatile DeFi landscape.

This development signals growing institutional acceptance of blockchain-based financial solutions, potentially paving the way for more traditional assets to enter the DeFi ecosystem. The MOVE could accelerate liquidity flows between conventional and decentralized markets, creating new opportunities for yield generation and capital efficiency.
