貝萊德將其代幣化基金 BUIDL 擴展到 Aptos、Arbitrum、Avalanche、Optimism 和 Polygon

今年稍早推出比特幣 ETF 的華爾街巨頭貝萊德 (BlackRock) 正在擴大其代幣化基金的規模。

Wall Street giant BlackRock, which earlier this year brought Bitcoin ETFs to the masses, is now expanding its tokenised fund.

華爾街巨頭貝萊德今年稍早向大眾推出了比特幣 ETF，目前正在擴大其代幣化基金的規模。

In a surprise announcement, the asset management firm and Securitize, a tokenisation platform, said Wednesday that BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund, or BUIDL, is launching on five additional blockchains: Aptos, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, and Polygon.

資產管理公司和代幣化平台 Securitize 週三出人意料地宣布，貝萊德的美元機構數位流動性基金（BUIDL）將在另外五個區塊鏈上推出：Aptos、Arbitrum、Avalanche、Optimism 和 Polygon。

Ethereum has been the top choice for tokenising real-world assets. The expansion marks a vote of confidence from BlackRock in blockchains beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.

以太坊一直是現實世界資產代幣化的首選。此次擴張標誌著貝萊德對比特幣和以太坊以外的區塊鏈投下了信任票。

“With these new chains we’ll start to see more investors looking to leverage the underlying technology to increase efficiencies on all the things that until now have been hard to do,” Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo said in a press release.

Securitize 執行長 Carlos Domingo 在新聞稿中表示：「有了這些新的連鎖店，我們將開始看到更多的投資者希望利用基礎技術來提高迄今為止難以做到的所有事情的效率。

Tokenisation refers to creating a digital representation of an asset as a blockchain-based token. Proponents say it will help speed up the financial system, where asset transfers can take days to settle, and improve capital efficiency.

代幣化是指將資產的數位表示形式創建為基於區塊鏈的代幣。支持者表示，這將有助於加快金融體系的速度（資產轉移可能需要數天才能完成），並提高資本效率。

What is BUIDL?

什麼是BUIDL？

As the crypto market swelled this year, more financial institutions started experimenting with tokenisation.

隨著今年加密市場的蓬勃發展，更多的金融機構開始嘗試代幣化。

In May, JPMorgan Chase and Visa joined a project to test the possibility of tokenising cash and other assets. Then in September, State Street, an investment firm with $4.1 trillion in assets, inked a partnership with crypto tokenisation platform Taurus.

5 月，摩根大通和 Visa 加入了一個項目，測試現金和其他資產代幣化的可能性。隨後在 9 月，擁有 4.1 兆美元資產的投資公司道富銀行 (State Street) 與加密代幣化平台 Taurus 簽署了合作夥伴關係。

BlackRock’s BUIDL is a tokenised fund that invests in dollar-equivalent assets such as cash, US Treasury bills, and repurchase agreements.

貝萊德的 BUIDL 是一檔代幣化基金，投資於現金、美國國庫券和回購協議等美元等值資產。

Shares of BUIDL are pegged to the dollar and pay daily dividends to investors’ wallets as new tokens each month.

BUIDL 的股票與美元掛鉤，並每月以新代幣的形式向投資者的錢包支付每日股息。

Previously, BUIDL was only available on Ethereum, where it soared to a market value of $517 million since its March launch.

此前，BUIDL 僅在以太坊上可用，自 3 月推出以來，其市值飆升至 5.17 億美元。

A surprise move

一個驚喜的舉動

The announcement by BlackRock is a surprise as it chooses several blockchains that haven’t yet seen much real-world asset tokenisation.

貝萊德的聲明令人驚訝，因為它選擇了幾個尚未經歷太多現實世界資產代幣化的區塊鏈。

Colin Butler, Polygon’s head of institutional capital, earlier told DL News that Ethereum is the preferred choice for asset tokenisation because it has the best security guarantees.

Polygon 機構資本主管 Colin Butler 先前對 DL News 表示，以太坊是資產代幣化的首選，因為它擁有最好的安全保障。

“If you’re not settling to Ethereum, then you’re taking a security risk that I wouldn’t recommend a firm like BlackRock take at scale,” he said.

「如果你不選擇以太坊，那麼你就面臨安全風險，我不建議像貝萊德這樣的公司大規模承擔這種風險，」他說。

Ethereum hosts nearly $3 billion worth of tokenised assets, according to tokenisation data platform rwa.xyz. Stellar, the next biggest blockchain for tokenisation, has just $387 million.

根據代幣化數據平台 rwa.xyz 的數據，以太幣擁有價值近 30 億美元的代幣化資產。 Stellar 是第二大代幣化區塊鏈，其資產僅 3.87 億美元。

Of the new BUIDL blockchains, Arbitrum, Optimism and Polygon rely on Ethereum at least partially for their security. Aptos and Avalanche, on the other hand, are separate standalone chains.

在新的 BUIDL 區塊鏈中，Arbitrum、Optimism 和 Polygon 至少部分依賴以太坊的安全性。另一方面，Aptos 和 Avalanche 是獨立的鏈。

Not all the blockchains BlackRock and Securitize have selected are being treated the same.

並非貝萊德和 Securitize 選擇的所有區塊鏈都受到相同的對待。

Those buying BUIDL on Ethereum, Arbitrum and Optimism will pay a 0.5% fee to hold the fund. The equivalent funds on Aptos, Avalanche and Polygon only charge a 0.2% fee.

那些在以太坊、Arbitrum 和 Optimism 上購買 BUIDL 的人將支付 0.5% 的費用來持有該基金。 Aptos、Avalanche 和 Polygon 上的同等基金僅收取 0.2% 的費用。

The Aptos Foundation, Avalanche, Inc. and Polygon Labs BD Investments Ltd. have each agreed to pay BlackRock a quarterly fee based on the average value of BUI

Aptos 基金會、Avalanche, Inc. 和 Polygon Labs BD Investments Ltd. 均同意根據 BUI 的平均價值向貝萊德支付季度費用
