Uniswap Labs and RWA platform Securitize have entered into an agreement to place the tokenized fund BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) in the UniswapX liquidity aggregation protocol.
The integration will enable trading of BUIDL on the blockchain, opening new liquidity opportunities for holders and marking an important step in bridging the gap between traditional finance and DeFi, according to the press release.
As part of the deal, BlackRock also announced strategic investments in Uniswap and acquired an undisclosed amount of the native token UNI.
Launched in 2024, BUIDL is the largest tokenized fund of US Treasury bonds in the market with a total locked value of $2.1 billion, according to RWA.xyz.
The emergence of BUILD on the Uniswap platform provides investors with round-the-clock on-chain access to the tool. Fund trading is available in both directions.
The integration of BUIDL into UniswapX marks a significant step forward in ensuring the compatibility of stablecoins with tokenized funds yielding returns in US dollars, noted BlackRock's head of digital assets Robert Mitchnik.
Against the backdrop of the news, the price $UNI surged by 14% in a day. The asset appreciated from about $3.2 to $3.8, briefly exceeding the $4 mark.
Let us remind you that in November 2025, support for the BNB Chain blockchain was added for BUILD. The fund, which debuted on Ethereum, also operates on first-layer networks such as Aptos, Avalanche, Solana, and L2 solutions like Arbitrum, Polygon, and Optimism.
