BlackRock has deepened its push into digital assets by listing its $2.1 billion USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) on Uniswap, marking the asset manager’s first formal step into decentralized finance.
The tokenized U.S. Treasury fund will allow institutional investors to trade blockchain-based securities directly through a decentralized exchange, expanding access to on-chain liquidity.
In addition to the listing, BlackRock disclosed that it has acquired an undisclosed amount of UNI, Uniswap’s governance token, signaling a strategic alignment with the DeFi platform.
The initiative reflects BlackRock’s broader strategy of integrating traditional financial products with blockchain infrastructure.
Alongside this move, the firm also launched a new exchange-traded fund to further bridge conventional capital markets and digital assets. The combined efforts underscore growing institutional confidence in tokenization and DeFi as viable components of mainstream finance.
