[Securitize and Ethena Launch BUIDL Liquidity Facility] Securitize and Ethena's BUIDL liquidity facility has officially launched, enabling institutions to access dollar liquidity while holding tokenized dollar assets, using USDC as the settlement asset. In June of this year, BlackRock integrated Ethena's USDe into its Aladdin investment management platform, which manages approximately $25 trillion. Ethena provided $100 million in liquidity support to BlackRock's BUIDL fund. Ethena has allocated approximately $200 million to BUIDL, pushing the fund's size past $1 billion. BUIDL is BlackRock's dollar institutional digital liquidity fund, tokenized by Securitize. It has been deployed on chains such as Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, and Aptos, and is accepted as collateral by platforms such as Crypto.com and Deribit. (Source: The Block)
