The total value locked in tokenized US Treasuries has reached an historic high of $7.45 billion by August 27, 2025. This follows a market rebound post-July correction, indicating a substantial 256% year-over-year growth in this sector.
Key entities including BlackRock with its BUIDL fund are major players in this growth. BlackRock leads with 32% of the total TVL. Notable issuers like Franklin Templeton and WisdomTree are expanding into tokenized treasuries.
BlackRock's BUIDL fund has a minimum deposit requirement of $5 million, demonstrating its institutional focus. Recent inflows of $440 million highlight rapid capital allocation into blockchain-native treasuries, primarily hosted on Ethereum.
