Securitize Expands BlackRock BUIDL Collateral Use Across Prime Brokers
Securitize expanded institutional collateral support for BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized Treasury fund across participating crypto prime brokerages. Qualified institutional traders can now use BUIDL shares as off-exchange collateral, making the product more useful for trading, lending, margin management, and liquidity strategies instead of just passive yield exposure. This is significant because tokenized Treasuries gain real market utility only when they can function as collateral in trading infrastructure. The move also reflects a broader shift in crypto prime brokerage toward reducing counterparty risk and keeping collateral off venues. Access remains limited to qualified institutional users, not retail investors. The development shows tokenized Treasuries moving closer to becoming core market plumbing for institutional crypto finance.
