Digital assets platform operator Crypto.com has announced that its Crypto.com Exchange institutional-grade offering will accept BlackRock’s tokenized fund, BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), as trading collateral for clients.

Established in March 2024, BUIDL provides qualified investors with the opportunity to earn U.S. dollar yields by subscribing to the fund through Securitize Markets, LLC. By integrating with Crypto.com Exchange, qualified institutional clients and advanced traders can use BUIDL as collateral to secure margin for trading on the Crypto.com Exchange.

“Providing advanced and institutional traders the best possible trading experience is our continuous goal with the Crypto.com Exchange,” said Eric Anziani, President and COO of Crypto.com. “BUIDL is a leading tokenized fund and we are excited to offer traders of BUIDL and the Crypto.com Exchange the ability to unlock even more opportunities.”

Launched in 2019, the Crypto.com Exchange allows institutional and advanced traders to trade with confidence on the world’s fastest and most secure platform. The Crypto.com Exchange is a truly comprehensive offering – including spot trading, margin trading, derivatives, OTC trading, and more, with deep liquidity and attractive fees. As of August 2024, the Crypto.com Exchange has become the world’s leading USD-supporting cryptocurrency exchange by spot volume. The Crypto.com Exchange was launched in the U.S. in January 2025.

“As tokenization continues to transform capital markets, Securitize is dedicated to enabling regulated and seamless access to institutional-grade tokenized assets,” said Carlos Domingo, Co-founder and CEO of Securitize. “Our work with BlackRock and Crypto.com is a testament to the growing demand for tokenized securities and their role in shaping the future of finance.”

Crypto.com said that this feature will only be enabled for eligible institutional investors in select jurisdictions.
