Unlike stablecoins, BUIDL is structured as a regulated money market-style vehicle whose shares are represented by tokens that settle on public blockchains. BUIDL originally launched on Ethereum, but has expanded across multiple networks as demand for onchain dollar yield products grows.
The $100 million in payouts from BlackRock's BUIDL fund serves as evidence of blockchain-based finance delivering at institutional scale. The milestone comes as tokenized money market funds gain traction as a regulated alternative to stablecoins for institutions looking for yield-bearing dollar exposure.
The category has grown quickly over the past year, though regulators and policymakers have flagged risks around settlement finality, liquidity assumptions and how tokenized securities behave during stress events.
BUIDL's structure allows qualified institutional investors to hold fund shares as blockchain tokens, with yield accruing from the underlying portfolio and paid out to investors onchain.
The product has also found use beyond passive yield. BUIDL tokens have been integrated into crypto market plumbing, including as backing for stablecoins such as Ethena’s USDtb and as collateral in trading and financing arrangements.
That positioning has helped BUIDL sit at the intersection of traditional short-term rates markets and the growing push to move collateral, settlement and yield strategies onchain.

What to know:
2025 was defined by a stark divergence: structural progress collided with stagnant price action. Institutional milestones were reached and TVL increased across most major ecosystems, yet the majority of large-cap Layer-1 tokens finished the year with negative or flat returns.

IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge!
The post IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground? That’s where BlockDAG comes in. While other chains are stuck dealing with validator congestion or outages, BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet will be stress-testing its EVM-compatible smart chain with real miners before listing. For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one. BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time. What makes this even more important is that the technology is operational before the coin even hits exchanges. That…
