Aptos receives another $500 million deployment from BlackRock BUIDL Fund, ranking third in RWA scale across the network

ChainCatcher news, BlackRock's Digital Liquidity Fund BUIDL has added $500 million in tokenized asset deployment to Aptos, making it the second largest in BUIDL fund deployments, second only to Ethereum. As of press time, the scale of RWA tokenized assets on the Aptos chain has exceeded $1.2 billion, ranking third across the entire network.

The BUIDL fund was jointly launched by BlackRock and the tokenization infrastructure platform Securitize. Its underlying assets include cash, US Treasury bonds, and repurchase agreements—low-risk, highly liquid assets. It was initially deployed on Ethereum in March 2024 and expanded to Aptos and other chains in November 2024. This move reflects the accelerating trend of traditional financial giants shifting to blockchain infrastructure. With its high performance, security, and low fees, Aptos is becoming an important gateway for institutional asset on-chain migration.
