BlackRock Buys UNI as It Expands Into DeFi

[kevin1]

In a significant signal of institutional alignment with decentralized finance, BlackRock is not only listing its BUIDL tokenized Treasury fund on Uniswap — it’s also purchasing an undisclosed amount of UNI, Uniswap’s governance token.

The collaboration, facilitated by Securitize, connects the world’s largest asset manager with one of DeFi’s most established protocols. For the first time, institutions will be able to access tokenized real-world assets like BUIDL directly through decentralized trading infrastructure, reinforcing the growing convergence between Wall Street and blockchain-based markets.
