BlackRock’s BUIDL Fund: Now on Solana! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿค‘

Hold onto your hats, folks! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Securitize just dropped a bombshell: BlackRock’s BUIDL Fund is making its grand entrance on the Solana blockchain! ๐ŸŽ‰

Yep, you heard it right. BUIDL, the fund that’s got more assets than a dragon’s hoard ($1 billion to be precise), is stepping out and showing off its bling on Solana. ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Launched back in March2024, BUIDL is like the cool kid in school โ€“ the first tokenized fund by BlackRock that struts its stuff on a public blockchain. It’s the golden ticket for qualified investors, offering daily dividend payouts, flexible custody, and transfers so fast, they’ll make your head spin. ๐ŸŽซ๐Ÿ’จ

And guess what? BUIDL isn’t playing hard to get. It’s now hanging out on not one, not two, but SEVEN blockchains! Aptos, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon, and now, Solana. Wormhole’s got its back, making sure those cross-chain transfers are smoother than a buttered-up slip ‘n slide. ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ”—

Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo chimed in, saying the demand for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) has skyrocketed. “Bringing BUIDL to Solana โ€“ a blockchain that’s as fast as a cheetah on Red Bull โ€“ is a no-brainer,” he quipped. ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿฅค

And Solana Foundation President Lily Liu couldn’t resist a little brag: “With Solana’s speedy transactions and a developer community that’s tighter than a pair of skinny jeans, we’re the perfect match for tokenized assets.” ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘–

Rest easy, folks. BUIDL’s got heavy hitters like Anchorage Digital, Copper, and Fireblocks watching its back, with Bank of New York Mellon playing babysitter to its cash and securities. ๐Ÿ’ผ๐Ÿ‘€
