BlackRock's regulated tokenized treasury fund for institutions—legitimate but inaccessible to retail

BUIDL is a tokenized money market fund launched by BlackRock in March 2024, investing in U.S. Treasury bills and cash equivalents. It maintains a stable $1.00 token value and pays daily dividends via blockchain. With over $1.5 billion in assets by December 2024, it became the largest tokenized treasury fund. However, it requires a $5 million minimum investment and is available only to qualified institutional purchasers, making it irrelevant for ordinary retail investors.


**Green flags**
