BUIDL’s dominance grows

The dominance of BlackRock’s BUIDL fund continues to grow, driving 64% of inflows over the past 30 days with $621.7 million, according to rwa.xyz. BUIDL now boasts a TVL of nearly $2.56 billion and accounts for 41.5% of the sector’s combined TVL.

BUIDL’s TVL is up 303% from $635.7 million on January 22, while its dominance over the sector has more than doubled from 18.3% over the same period.

Despite BUIDL expanding onto new chains in recent months, Ethereum accounts for more than 95% of the fund’s TVL with almost $2.44 billion. BUIDL went live on Aptos, Arbitrum, Avalanche, OP Mainnet, and Polygon on November 17 and deployed on Solana on March 25. Each alternative chain hosts between $20 million and $55 million in TVL.
