BUIDL is BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund. Ethena backs the facility, and Securitize operates it. Supported stablecoins include USDC. Separately, Securitize and Ripple introduced a smart contract allowing holders to exchange BUIDL and VanEck’s VBILL shares for RLUSD around the clock.
