BlackRock BUIDL tokenized fund surpasses $100M lifetime dividend payouts — Tokenized treasury fund proves real-world use with $100M payouts

BlackRock’s tokenized money market fund BUIDL has paid out $100 million in cumulative dividends since its launch, highlighting real-world adoption of tokenized securities amid growing institutional interest.

The milestone of the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) was announced Monday by Securitize, which serves as the fund’s issuer and tokenization partner, overseeing on-chain issuance and investor onboarding.

“BlackRock’s BUIDL becomes the first tokenized treasury vehicle to distribute $100 million in dividends over its lifetime. Tokenization at its finest,” Securitize wrote on its X page.

Launched in March 2024, BUIDL was initially issued on the Ethereum blockchain. The fund invests in short-term U.S. dollar-denominated assets, including U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements, and cash equivalents, offering institutional investors a blockchain-based yield instrument while maintaining liquidity.

Investors purchase BUIDL tokens, which are pegged to the U.S. dollar, and receive dividend payouts directly on-chain, reflecting income generated by the underlying assets. Since debuting on Ethereum, BUIDL has expanded to six additional blockchains, including Solana, Aptos, Avalanche, and Optimism.

The appeal of cash on blockchain

Reaching the $100 million mark is notable because it represents lifetime payouts generated from real Treasury yields and distributed to token holders on-chain. It demonstrates that tokenized securities can operate at scale while replicating the core functions of traditional financial products.

The achievement also highlights the operational efficiency provided by blockchain — including faster settlement, transparent ownership records, and programmable distributions — features increasingly attracting major asset managers and institutional investors exploring tokenized real-world assets.

BUIDL has seen significant growth this year, with its tokenized fund value surpassing $2 billion earlier and peaking above $2.8 billion in October.

According to Cointelegraph, some market participants even view such products as a potential counterbalance to the expected rise of stablecoins. In July, J.P. Morgan strategist Teresa Ho stated that tokenized money market funds preserve the long-standing appeal of “cash as an asset,” even as regulatory developments like the GENIUS Act are expected to accelerate stablecoin adoption and potentially challenge traditional cash-like instruments.
