The Fund invests 100% of its total assets in cash, U.S. Treasury bills, and repurchase agreements, allowing investors to earn yield while holding the token on the blockchain.

BUIDL risks

Issuer and custody

Your claim is on the issuer and the banks or funds holding its reserves. A failure or freeze there can break the peg, as USDC briefly did in March 2023.

Freezes and blacklists

Fiat-backed issuers can usually freeze tokens at specific addresses, for example to comply with sanctions or court orders.

Bridged versions

Copies of a stablecoin moved by third-party bridges depend on those bridges. Prefer the issuer's native contract on each chain.

Regulation

Rules such as the US GENIUS Act and the EU's MiCA can restrict which stablecoins exchanges list in a given country.
