Today, Tempo announced the availability of the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) on the Tempo blockchain. The integration extends the companies’ work on institutional stablecoin and tokenized asset infrastructure.
The deployment brings the Moody’s AAA-mf rated tokenized fund to Tempo, giving eligible users a way to hold stablecoin balances and access yield through tokenized fund shares. For companies building wallets, treasury products, and global money movement applications on Tempo, their customers can move idle balances into yield-bearing instruments without leaving their onchain workflows.
BUIDL is BlackRock’s flagship tokenized short-term treasury fund. It gives qualified investors exposure to U.S. dollar yield through a fund share backed by cash, U.S. Treasury bills, and repurchase agreements. Bringing BUIDL to Tempo expands access to institutional-grade yield on infrastructure built for high-volume, low-cost, compliant financial activity. BUIDL’s availability on Tempo is supported by Securitize’s tokenization and transfer agent infrastructure, with daily onchain valuation and interest accrual supported by RedStone oracle feeds.
“Institutions want the benefits of stablecoins without giving up access to familiar products like treasury funds,” said Ninad Nirgudkar, GTM at Tempo. “BUIDL on Tempo brings those closer together. With the participation of companies like BlackRock on Tempo, we are building the infrastructure for yield-bearing balances, treasury management, and settlement onchain.”
“As stablecoins become part of more cash, payment, and settlement activity, cash management products should be available where digital dollar balances are held and used,” said Maxwell Stein, Director, Digital Assets at BlackRock. “Making BUIDL available on Tempo reflects our continued effort to expand access for eligible investors to tokenized U.S. dollar yield as onchain finance develops.”
“BUIDL has established itself as a leading example of how tokenization can bring trusted financial products onto blockchain infrastructure at institutional scale,” said Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize. “We’re excited to integrate Securitize with Tempo for the first time, bringing BUIDL to its growing ecosystem of companies building the next generation of payments, treasury management and onchain financial services.”
The integration reflects broader collaboration across tokenized finance. Companies are exploring more ways to connect regulated financial products with stablecoin-native payment and settlement infrastructure.
Tempo is building payment-first blockchain infrastructure for stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and real-world financial activity. With BlackRock now participating in the ecosystem, Tempo will continue developing onchain yield capabilities for institutions that need speed, programmability, compliance, and access to products their customers already understand.
