Key claims
BUIDL market cap >$540M, >$514M of it on Ethereum
Tokenized treasuries total $2.37B onchain, >$1.6B on Ethereum
Aptos likely to capture share going forward
BlackRock is bullish on Aptos & you're fading anon? The world's largest asset manager with $10 trillion in AUM just announced that its BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), powered by @securitize is coming to @Aptos. BUIDL, with a market cap of >$540M, is the largest tokenized treasury product that exists onchain. Currently, the majority of the market cap sitting on Ethereum (>$514M). Generally, the tokenized treasury space is still dominated by Ethereum which accounts for >$1.6B of $2.37B in total value onchain. Going forward, this will likely change, with Aptos in a leading position to capture market share. Aptos is a high-performance blockchain running a MoveVM that supports parallel execution and can support thousands of TPS at consistently low cost with ease. Move, as a statically strong typed and formally verified language that is purpose-built for blockchain development, also provides language-level security features that don't exist in EVM ecosystems. After FOBXX, @FTI_US's OnChain U.S. Government Money Market Fund, the launch of BUIDL marks another major milestone for the RWA ecosystem on Aptos. Don't sleep on Aptos anon.
