BlackRock tokenized BUIDL fund rollout

Entities: BUIDL fund · BlackRock · UNI token · Uniswap · Securitize Markets

Overview

In early July 2026, BlackRock’s tokenized BUIDL fund – a vehicle holding roughly $900 million of U.S. Treasury‑backed assets – was reported to have moved onto the Avalanche blockchain, signaling the firm’s first sizable deployment of a DeFi‑native fund.

Two weeks later, BlackRock expanded the rollout by deploying the BUIDL fund on Uniswap’s newly released version 4 permissioned pools. The integration, facilitated through UniswapX’s off‑chain order‑routing, locked in about $2.4 billion of Treasury bonds and cash equivalents and was limited to verified institutional investors. The announcement spurred a 20 % rise in Uniswap’s governance token UNI, underscoring market enthusiasm for compliant, on‑chain trading of real‑world assets.

Together, the two events trace BlackRock’s rapid progression from a modest Avalanche launch to a larger, high‑visibility Uniswap integration, illustrating growing institutional confidence in decentralized finance infrastructure for tokenized assets.
