BlackRock launches blockchain-based money market funds expanding tokenized cash universe

CoinDesk · Aug 3, 2026 9:15 AM EDT

BlackRock has expanded its tokenized cash product suite with new blockchain-based money market fund offerings, building on its existing BUIDL product. The expansion signals growing institutional appetite for on-chain representations of traditional cash-equivalent instruments and positions BlackRock as the dominant provider of tokenized short-duration assets. Specific blockchains and fund sizes were not disclosed in available reporting.

For Armada's crypto-repo desk, the growth of tokenized T-Bill and MMF products from a systemically important counterparty like BlackRock is directly relevant to collateral diversification strategy. These instruments could serve as high-quality liquid alternatives alongside BTC and ETH in repo structures, and their presence on-chain may attract new institutional counterparties. Confirm whether Fireblocks custody infrastructure supports settlement and segregation of BlackRock tokenized fund shares.
