BlackRock’s BUILD Launches on BNB Chain as RWA Momentum Grows

  • The largest tokenized RWA has debuted on BNB Chain.
  • Investors can now access tokenized US dollar yield on a convenient platform.
  • Real-world assets surpassed $36 billion after rising 6% in the past month.

Today BNB Chain welcomed a major new entrant as BlackRock’s Institutional Digital USD Liquidity Fund (BUILD) launched on the platform.

The strategic launch, built on the Securitize tokenization platform and Wormhole interoperability, adds one of the most regulated digital assets to Binance’s growing financial ecosystem.

The move comes amid booming interest in real-world assets: their total value rose 6% over the last month, topping $36 billion.

BUILD’s debut highlights the growing convergence between blockchain and traditional finance.

As a leading asset manager, BlackRock brings its trust, scale and regulatory experience to BNB Chain — a platform known for accessibility, low fees and high throughput.

Commenting on the arrival, BNB Chain Head of Business Development Sarah Song said:

BNB Chain is designed for scalable, low-cost and secure financial applications, and we’re pleased to welcome BUILD into our ecosystem. BUILD transforms real-world assets into programmable financial instruments, enabling new types of investment strategies on-chain.

At the same time, the launch introduces a new class of tokenized USD-denominated shares to the Binance ecosystem, giving eligible investors on-chain access to tokenized dollar exposure.

BlackRock’s tokenized asset also provides fresh utility: Binance will accept BUILD as collateral.

This enables professional traders and institutions to deploy capital more efficiently while retaining exposure to RWA tied to treasury-like instruments.

The use case underscores broader shifts in how on-chain systems integrate real-world assets.

These products are evolving from static representations into functional instruments that can operate across DeFi and TradFi environments.

Using Securitize’s compliant infrastructure

Securitize, a regulated tokenization firm with more than $4 billion in tokenized AUM, is supporting BlackRock’s expansion onto BNB Chain.

Securitize handles fund administration and digital transaction agency services, ensuring clients access institutional-grade RWA within compliant frameworks.

At the same time, BUILD unlocks new forms of utility for tokenized real assets that were previously unavailable.

According to Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo:

Bringing BUILD to BNB Chain and enabling it as collateral on Binance further expands access and advances our mission to move regulated real-world assets on-chain, while opening up new forms of utility that were previously inaccessible.

RWA and stablecoin markets are thriving

The BUILD launch on BNB Chain coincides with notable growth across the on-chain RWA market.

Data from RWAxyz show that the value of RWA on public blockchains increased 5.91% over the past 30 days to $36.06 billion.

Ownership also expanded: the number of holders rose 10.78% to 537,549, while the number of asset issuers reached 249.

Those figures reflect a flourishing ecosystem of firms tokenizing regulated, real-world assets.

Stablecoins have also shown resilience despite broader crypto market volatility: their market value grew 0.79% over the month to $299.76 billion.

Meanwhile, the number of stablecoin holders increased 3.39% in the same period to 202.89 million, signaling sustained demand for digitized financial instruments that offer liquidity, compliance and stability.
