BounceBit Pilots High-Yield Crypto Strategy with BUIDL

In a significant step for tokenized finance, BounceBit has completed a pilot of a bitcoin derivatives strategy collateralized by BlackRock’s BUIDL token. The approach combines a bitcoin basis trade and options writing, both secured using BUIDL — a yield-generating, tokenized money market fund launched in March 2024.

We are excited to announce BounceBit’s dual-yield strategy powered by @BlackRock's BUIDL, tokenized by @Securitize

The strategy is a RWA proof-of-concept, pioneering the first active use-case for tokenized treasuries, elevating them beyond simple holdings.

The basis trade, which involves buying spot bitcoin while shorting futures, returned 4.7% annualized. The short put options strategy added another 15% yield. Including BUIDL’s 4.25% yield, the total strategy delivered a yield exceeding 24%.

This far outpaces yields from similar strategies backed by stablecoins, which typically offer no intrinsic return.

BUIDL: BlackRock’s Blockchain-Enabled RWA Product

BUIDL is a tokenized fund backed by short-term U.S. government debt, operating across Ethereum, Polygon, and Aptos blockchains. It maintains a stable value of $1 per token and currently has a market cap of $2.88 billion. BlackRock launched it in collaboration with Securitize, targeting a new frontier of real-world asset (RWA) adoption in crypto and traditional finance alike.

BounceBit’s use of BUIDL is part of its new product suite, BB Prime, aimed at retail and institutional users. It combines centralized and decentralized features to offer secure yield opportunities and supports BTC restaking. The network, which supports over $500 million in locked crypto assets, connects Western asset issuers with Asian crypto infrastructure.

Valuation and Financial Snapshot

As of May 16, BlackRock had a market cap of $153.33 billion, with a forward P/E of 22.17 and a price-to-book ratio of 3.19. It maintains strong profitability with a 30.09% net margin and generates $5.57 billion in levered free cash flow.

Outlook

With BUIDL gaining real-world adoption and a major Investor Day on the horizon, BlackRock appears poised for further strategic expansion. Though year-to-date returns show a slight decline of -2.58%, its innovation in tokenized finance and robust financials support long-term confidence in BLK stock.
