BlackRock, the world’s biggest asset manager, is taking a major step to bring blockchain into mainstream finance by expanding its BUIDL fund across five key blockchain networks: Aptos, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, and Polygon.
This move is about more than just broadening access — it’s about reshaping how everyday investors can interact with blockchain in ways that are easier, faster, and more secure.
What This Means for Investors
BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, officially called the USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund, aims to make blockchain investments more user-friendly and versatile. By adding these five networks, BlackRock is creating a true multi-chain experience where investors can tap into on-chain yields, access 24/7 transfers, and benefit from flexible custody.

Each network opens doors for both developers and investors alike, allowing applications to plug directly into BUIDL, making on-chain transactions and dividend distributions smooth and efficient.
Carlos Domingo, co-founder of Securitize, which helped tokenize BUIDL, commented, “Real-world asset tokenization is scaling, and we’re excited to have these blockchains added to the BUIDL ecosystem. We’re building efficiencies for investors that, until now, were hard to achieve.”
The BUIDL fund on these five networks means investors don’t need to be crypto experts to access real blockchain benefits. Whether they’re earning dividends or transferring assets, BUIDL’s structure brings together the best of traditional finance and blockchain flexibility.
Bridging Traditional Finance and Blockchain
Alongside BUIDL, BlackRock recently made waves with the launch of the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the largest U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF, which received SEC approval earlier this year. IBIT has driven significant capital inflows, attracting institutional interest in Bitcoin and reaching $40 billion in assets in record time.

BlackRock’s hybrid approach — combining on-chain tokenized assets with familiar investment platforms like ETFs — reflects a larger trend of merging traditional finance with blockchain’s innovative capabilities. By expanding BUIDL, BlackRock aims to make blockchain more approachable for mainstream investors who want digital assets without sacrificing the stability they’re used to.
