According to The Block, BlackRock and Ethena Labs announced a deepened collaboration, with USDe becoming a recognized cryptocurrency asset on BlackRock's Aladdin platform, which manages $25 trillion in institutional investment and risk management.
The two parties will provide a $100 million liquidity arrangement for BlackRock's tokenized treasury fund BUIDL through the tokenization platform Securitize. Eligible BUIDL clients can exchange tokens for stablecoins such as USDC and USDtb during off-market hours, or convert them back to BUIDL.
Robert Mitchnick, Global Head of Digital Assets at BlackRock, stated that this arrangement provides the essential frictionless interoperability needed for the tokenized treasury fund; Ethena founder Guy Young mentioned that the next phase of digital asset adoption will be driven by infrastructure that allows traditional institutions to access on-chain products through familiar systems.
BlackRock and Ethena had previously collaborated around the stablecoin USDtb (primarily supported by BUIDL). BUIDL is set to launch on Ethereum in 2024 and is one of the largest tokenized U.S. Treasury funds globally, currently with a total locked value of approximately $3 billion.
