[Aptos Secures $500 Million Deployment from BlackRock's BUIDL Fund, RWA Scale Ranks Third Globally] BlockBeats News, October 22: BlackRock's Digital Liquidity Fund BUIDL has added $500 million in tokenized asset deployment to Aptos, elevating its adoption ranking within the BUIDL fund to second place, trailing only Ethereum. As of the time of writing, the tokenized asset scale of RWA on the Aptos chain has surpassed $1.2 billion, ranking third globally. The BUIDL fund was jointly launched by BlackRock and the tokenization infrastructure platform Securitize, with underlying assets covering cash, U.S. Treasury bonds, and repurchase agreements—low-risk, high-liquidity assets. Initially deployed on Ethereum in March 2024, the fund expanded to Aptos and other chains in November 2024. This move reflects the accelerating trend of traditional financial giants shifting toward blockchain infrastructure. With its high performance, security, and low-cost technical advantages, Aptos is becoming a critical gateway for institutional asset tokenization.
