BlackRock’s BUILD launches on BNB Chain as RWA momentum accelerates
The largest tokenized RWA has debuted on BNB Chain.
Investors can now access tokenized US dollar yields on a user-friendly platform.
Real-world assets top $36 billion after a 6% increase in the previous month.
BNB Chain has welcomed a new resident today as BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUILD) went live on the platform.
The strategic launch, powered by Securitize’s compliant tokenization platform and Wormhole, adds one of the most regulated digital assets to Binance’s thriving financial ecosystem.
The strategic move comes as real-world assets see massive traction, with their value up 6% the past month to surpass $36 billion.
BUILD’s debut reflects the convergence between blockchain and traditional finance.
BlackRock is a leading asset manager and is now bringing its trust, base, and compliance to BNB Chain, a platform known for accessibility, low fees, and high speed.
Commenting on today’s arrival, BNB Chain Head of Business Development Sarah Song said:
BNB Chain is designed for scalable, low-cost, and secure financial applications, and we’re excited to welcome BUILD to our ecosystem. BUILD is turning real-world assets into programmable financial instruments, enabling entirely new types of investment strategies on-chain.
Meanwhile, the development introduces a new share class on Binance’s ecosystem, offering eligible investors access to a tokenized US dollar yield in a blockchain setup.
BlackRock’s tokenized asset also secures new utility. Binance will now accept BUILD as collateral.
That allows professional traders and institutions to deploy cash smoothly without surrendering exposure to Treasuries-linked RWAs.
That use case underscores the broader shift in how on-chain systems integrate real-world assets.
These products are maturing from static representations to practical instruments that can function across DeFi and TradFi environments.
Leveraging Securitize’s compliant infrastructure
Securitize, a regulated tokenization firm boasting more than $4 billion in tokenized AUM (assets under management), is powering BlackRock’s expansion into BNB Chain.
Securitize handles everything from fund administration to digital transaction agency services.
That ensures that clients access enterprise-level RWAs within regulated frameworks.
At the same time, BUILD unlocks new use cases that were previously absent for real-world tokenized assets.
According to Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo:
Expanding BUILD to the BNB Chain and making it available as collateral on the Binance exchange further extends its accessibility and reinforces our mission to bring regulated real-world assets on-chain while unlocking new forms of utility that were previously out of reach.
RWA and stablecoin market thrive
BUILD’s launch on BNB Chain comes as on-chain real-world assets see impressive growth.
RWAxyz data shows the value of RWAs on public blockchains increased by 5.91% the past 30 days to $36.06 billion.
Furthermore, the number of holders surged 10.78% to 537,549, with asset issuers hitting 249.
Such figures reflect a flourishing ecosystem of enterprises tokenizing regulated real-world assets.
Stablecoins also steadied despite crypto market turmoil, with their value up 0.79% in a month to $299.76 billion.
Moreover, stablecoin holders increased by 3.39% in that timeframe to $202.89 million, indicating unwavering demand for digitized financial instruments that guarantee liquidity, compliance, and stability.
