Securitize and Ethena Launch $100M Liquidity Facility

Securitize announced the facility alongside Ethena Labs to improve liquidity access for institutional clients holding BlackRock’s BUIDL tokens. The platform supports exchanges between BUIDL and selected stablecoins, including USDC, beyond regular banking hours. The service allows participants to convert supported stablecoins back into BUIDL through Securitize’s infrastructure.

The facility begins operations with $50 million in liquidity, divided equally between USDC and BUIDL holdings. Ethena provides support for the facility, while Securitize manages its operations and transaction infrastructure. Additionally, the companies can provide another $50 million within an hour as participants use the available liquidity.

This arrangement increases the facility’s total capacity to $100 million and supports transactions outside traditional market schedules. Ethena and BlackRock announced the liquidity framework in June under their expanded collaboration. The latest launch puts that earlier agreement into operation and extends access to tokenized financial products.

BlackRock BUIDL Gains Access to Round-the-Clock Liquidity

BlackRock’s BUIDL fund provides institutional clients with access to a tokenized investment product through blockchain infrastructure.  Conventional banking schedules can restrict liquidity access despite blockchain networks operating continuously. Securitize and Ethena developed the facility to connect tokenized holdings with stablecoin liquidity beyond banking hours.

The new service addresses settlement limitations that can affect transactions during weekends and other nonbusiness periods. Eligible participants can exchange their holdings without waiting for traditional financial markets to resume normal operations. The facility’s replenishment structure helps maintain liquidity as participants convert assets between supported products.

The arrangement also expands the practical use of blockchain-based financial products within institutional markets. Securitize provides the infrastructure connecting tokenized securities with blockchain settlement and digital asset services. Meanwhile, Ethena contributes liquidity support through its existing involvement in tokenized dollar products.

Ethena Partnership Expands Tokenized Asset Infrastructure

Securitize and Ethena already collaborate through BUIDL and USDtb, Ethena’s digital dollar product. USDtb primarily uses BUIDL as backing, linking the product to BlackRock’s tokenized fund. Therefore, the new facility extends their existing relationship into continuous liquidity services.

The companies aim to improve access between institutional tokenized products and stablecoins through the expanded infrastructure. Their latest initiative combines Securitize’s tokenization operations with Ethena’s involvement in blockchain-based dollar liquidity. The service supports conversions outside conventional settlement windows without requiring traditional markets to remain open.

The launch marks another development in Securitize’s efforts to expand institutional access to tokenized financial assets. Its partnership with Ethena connects BlackRock’s BUIDL fund with stablecoin liquidity through a dedicated facility. The companies now operate the service with an initial liquidity allocation and additional capacity for eligible participants.
