OUR TAKE
BlackRock’s introduction of the USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund has catalysed the tokenisation of U.S. Treasuries on various blockchains, surpassing a value of $1 billion. By digitising assets, investors can benefit from increased liquidity, reduced settlement times, fractional ownership opportunities, and access to a broader range of investment options. Additionally, tokenisation can enhance transparency by providing immutable records of ownership and transaction history on the blockchain, potentially reducing fraud and errors in the traditional financial system.
