- Securitize and Ethena Labs have launched a $100 million liquidity facility for BlackRock’s tokenized BUIDL fund.

- The facility starts with $50 million in liquidity, with another $50 million available as the initial funds are used.
New 24/7 Liquidity Pool Launched
Securitize and Ethena Labs have created a $100 million liquidity pool, allowing qualified investors of BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) to swap their tokenized fund shares for supported stablecoins like USDC at any time.
Today, we’re launching a $100M 24/7 liquidity facility for @BlackRock’s BUIDL with @ethena.
Supported by Ethena and operated through Securitize, it enables eligible investors to exchange between BUIDL and supported stablecoins, including USDC, outside traditional market hours. https://t.co/TjZgvyTLEM

The pool offers $50 million in liquidity from the start, half in the form of BUIDL and half USDC. An additional $50 million can be released within an hour as the initial liquidity is spent. This will create an easier way for institutional investors to trade between tokenised investment products and digital dollars.
This marks significant progress toward bridging traditional markets with the constantly running blockchain markets.
Existing Collaboration Between Securitize & Ethena
This follows an existing collaboration between Securitize and Ethena Labs. Previously they worked together to link BlackRock’s BUIDL fund with USDtb, Ethena’s digital dollar offering that is largely backed by BUIDL.
Securitize has launched a liquidity facility for BlackRock’s BUIDL, supported by Ethena.
Eligible BUIDL holders can now access up to $100m of liquidity 24/7 within 1hr, without waiting for traditional markets to reopen.
The facility is supported by @Ethena and operated by @Securitize.

The $100 million pool was announced back in June. Previously the two companies collaborated to launch a liquidity integration, also in June 2025, that enabled investors to swap BUIDL and Ethena’s stablecoin in atomic swaps at any time.
“This marks further progress towards building an infrastructure for a financial system in which institutional investors can access liquidity when they need it. With the right infrastructure in place we can help increase the amount of traditional assets on blockchains,” Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize said.
Guy Young, Founder of Ethena Labs, added that the pool will help to bridge the gap between traditional financial markets and those on blockchains that run 24/7.
BlackRock Expanding Tokenised Offerings
This latest move comes as BlackRock continues to roll out tokenised financial products. BUIDL is a tokenised investment fund that mainly invests in US Treasury Bills and cash equivalents. It allows qualified institutional investors to store their investment as tokens on a blockchain.
BlackRock has previously taken steps to increase accessibility to the fund. In February they worked with Securitize to allow BUIDL to be traded directly on UniswapX through Uniswap. This was after the fund had grown to be worth around $2.4 billion.
This new liquidity pool provides another handy feature for the expanding ecosystem. Qualified investors can now swap to a stablecoin exchange at any time.
Overall this demonstrates how traditional financial firms are increasingly leveraging blockchain technology to provide more flexible and accessible investment products. Developments like this could be key to the future growth of tokenised assets.
