BlackRock, Frax Finance, and Securitize collaborate to create an innovative stablecoin, frxUSD, based on the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), with unprecedented transparency and security.
The stablecoin frxUSD: Blackrock together with Frax
Frax Finance, a leading protocol in the decentralized stablecoin sector, announced today the launch of frxUSD, a stablecoin directly backed by BlackRock’s institutional digital liquidity fund, known as BUIDL. This fund, designed to ensure stability and security, is tokenized by Securitize, a company expert in digitized real assets.
The initiative represents an important turning point for the cryptocurrency ecosystem, creating a solid link between the world of traditional finance and that of decentralized technologies. The frxUSD aims to become a benchmark for security, transparency, and interoperability between centralized and decentralized financial systems.
The frxUSD stands out for its reserve and custody mechanism, which uses the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund. This fund invests in cash, U.S. government securities, and repurchase agreements, ensuring a solid anchor to the value of the American dollar. The stablecoin offers:
- Complete transparency: all assets are fully verifiable and accessible on-chain.
- Institutional security: thanks to the partnership with BlackRock, the frxUSD is supported by one of the most reliable funds in the world.
- Fiat on/off ramp: possibility of immediate conversion between fiat currency and cryptocurrency, simplifying access for retail and institutional users.
The stablecoin is based on the Ethereum network, ensuring high programmability and interoperability with decentralized applications (dApp).
The statements of the protagonists
Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize, emphasized how tokenization is redefining the financial landscape:
“Tokenized real assets represent the ideal bridge between traditional and decentralized finance, bringing institutional-level investments to the blockchain with unprecedented transparency and efficiency. The collaboration with BlackRock and Frax demonstrates the transformative potential of tokenization.”
Even Sam Kazemian, Founder of Frax Finance, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership:
“Through this collaboration, we are establishing a new standard for stablecoins. The frxUSD combines the transparency of blockchain technology with the stability and reliability of BlackRock’s institutional offerings.”
The frxUSD represents a significant evolution compared to the previous Frax stablecoin, the FRAX. With greater compliance with U.S. financial systems and a direct fiat redemption mechanism, this new stablecoin is preparing to compete with industry giants like USDT and USDC.
Thanks to the collaboration with BlackRock and Securitize, frxUSD positions itself as the ideal solution for investors and institutions seeking a safe and transparent alternative in the cryptocurrency landscape.
