- BlackRock proposed the BlackRock Daily Reinvestment Stablecoin Reserve Vehicle, targeting a $3 million minimum investment.
- The new fund will invest in cash, short-term U.S. Treasury securities, and overnight repurchase agreements backed by Treasuries.
- BlackRock also filed to create an onchain share class for its Select Treasury Based Liquidity Fund, which manages nearly $7 billion in assets.
- Ownership records for the liquidity fund will be maintained on Ethereum using ERC-20 token standards.
- The tokenized real-world asset market has grown over 200% in the past year, now exceeding $30 billion.
