BlackRock’s BUIDL Hits $100M in Payouts

On December 29, 2025, Securitize announced that BUIDL had distributed over $100 million in dividends since launch. Most of those payouts happened on Ethereum, with smaller amounts distributed on chains like Solana.

The monthly yield has grown steadily throughout the year. By March 2025 alone, the fund was paying over $4 million per month to its holders.

Why This Milestone Matters

This milestone proves that tokenized securities can scale, deliver meaningful returns, and operate within full compliance. BUIDL has become the market leader among tokenized Treasury products, capturing 34% of a $10B+ RWA (real-world asset) sector by April 2025.

Key advantages include:

• On-chain settlement (no delays like TradFi’s T+1)
• Lower operational costs
• Transparent, auditable fund activity
• Real-time yield distribution

It’s the clearest proof yet that real-world finance is moving on-chain.

Backed by Major Players

BUIDL is a collaboration between BlackRock and Securitize. BlackRock seeded the fund with $100M in USDC, and Securitize handles issuance, compliance, and investor onboarding.

The fund is already being integrated into DeFi. Platforms like Ondo Finance use BUIDL as collateral for structured products, and analytics dashboards track fund activity live on-chain.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has publicly backed tokenization, calling it “the next generation for markets.” He envisions a future where every stock and bond lives on a unified ledger.

What’s Next for BUIDL?

After dominating Ethereum, BUIDL has begun expanding to other chains. With its payout model now validated, expect more integrations across the crypto ecosystem and growing usage in DeFi-native yield strategies.

Institutions have noticed. With consistent returns and transparent mechanics, BUIDL is turning into the benchmark for tokenized Treasuries. Other funds may follow, but BlackRock’s first-mover advantage gives it a solid head start.
