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.

Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base
The post Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Kalshi, the US-regulated prediction market exchange, rolled out a new program on Wednesday called KalshiEco Hub. The initiative, developed in partnership with Solana and Coinbase-backed Base, is designed to attract builders, traders, and content creators to a growing ecosystem around prediction markets. By combining its regulatory footing with crypto-native infrastructure, Kalshi said it is aiming to become a bridge between traditional finance and onchain innovation. The hub offers grants, technical assistance, and marketing support to selected projects. Kalshi also announced that it will support native deposits of Solana’s SOL token and USDC stablecoin, making it easier for users already active in crypto to participate directly. Early collaborators include Kalshinomics, a dashboard for market analytics, and Verso, which is building professional-grade tools for market discovery and execution. Other partners, such as Caddy, are exploring ways to expand retail-facing trading experiences. Kalshi’s move to embrace blockchain partnerships comes at a time when prediction markets are drawing fresh attention for their ability to capture sentiment around elections, economic policy, and cultural events. Competitor Polymarket recently acquired QCEX — a derivatives exchange with a CFTC license — to pave its way back into US operations under regulatory compliance. At the same time, platforms like PredictIt continue to push for a clearer regulatory footing. The legal terrain remains complex, with some states issuing cease-and-desist orders over whether these event contracts count as gambling, not finance. This is a developing story.
