BlackRock's Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) is on the verge of reaching $500 million in assets under management. Represented by the BUIDL token on the Ethereum network, the fund currently holds $491 million in assets, as per Dune Analytics. Despite market struggles for top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, the BUIDL fund continues to attract investors, requiring a minimum entry of $5 million. Created in partnership with Securitize, the fund invests solely in cash, US Treasury bills, and repurchase agreements, offering investors yield while holding tokens on the blockchain. Notably, the fund has gained significant market share since its launch in March, with Ondo Finance owning a substantial portion. This growth underscores the rising institutional interest in tokenizing real-world assets, with a recent survey showing 50% of institutional investors keen on tokenized assets for portfolio diversification and liquidity benefits. The presence of over $1.5 billion worth of US Treasuries on blockchain networks further highlights the growing trend towards tokenization in the financial sector.

Student Coin Initiates Token Redemption Process

Wednesday. October 30 at 4:30 AM

Student Coin, an educational crypto project founded in 2019, has started a structured token redemption process to safeguard STC token holders' interests. Originally created by students from Kozminski University in Poland, Student Coin aimed to explore blockchain applications in academia. Despite reaching over 200,000 users globally and introducing products like the STC Wallet and STC Terminal, the project faced challenges such as legal risks and exchange collapses. Consequently, the team decided to wind down operations and redeem STC tokens at prices ranging from $0.006 to $0.0137 per token. The redemption program, which began in April 2024, allows users to redeem tokens until April 2029. Users transferring tokens to a burn address can expect a three-month processing time to receive USDC. Student Coin plans to support the community through the redemption process and explore new ventures in the crypto media sector.

Tokenizing Turkey's Boron Market with Tether's Proposal

Friday. October 25 at 5:00 AM

Stablecoin issuer Tether has suggested a groundbreaking plan to Turkey by introducing digital tokens backed by boron, a mineral that Turkey dominates with over 70% of global reserves. Boron, crucial in various industries, is a key asset for Turkey's economy, with projected sales of $1.3 billion next year. Tether's idea aims to create digital representations of boron for trading on blockchain platforms, offering a modern alternative to traditional commodity trading. This initiative could potentially enhance liquidity and transparency in traditionally illiquid markets. While Turkish officials are intrigued by the proposal, they acknowledge the need to address technical and regulatory challenges. Tether also considers establishing a digital asset exchange in Istanbul to facilitate trading of boron-backed tokens. However, implementing such a system requires a solid regulatory framework, technological infrastructure, and investor trust. Tokenizing commodities like boron reflects the increasing trend of bringing real-world assets onto digital platforms for easier trading and fractional ownership. Despite the benefits, challenges such as market volatility and regulatory hurdles must be overcome for the long-term success of boron-backed tokens in Turkey's economy.
