Securitize and Ethena Labs launched a 24/7 liquidity facility for BlackRock's USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund, known as BUIDL, on November 12, 2026. The initiative gives eligible investors a way to exchange BUIDL for supported stablecoins, including USDC, outside traditional market hours.
The announcement came from Securitize. It says Securitize operates the facility and Ethena supports it. The structure is intended to connect the around-the-clock transferability of tokenized assets with liquidity access that is often limited by banking hours and settlement processes.
Facility Starts With USD 50 Million
The facility begins with USD 50 million in liquidity, split between USD 25 million in USDC and USD 25 million in BUIDL. The companies say an additional USD 50 million can be made available within approximately one hour as the initial liquidity is used, taking the stated maximum capacity to USD 100 million. Access remains subject to the facility's terms, capacity and availability.
The launch builds on an earlier framework announced in June and on the companies' work involving BUIDL and USDtb, Ethena's digital dollar product backed primarily by BUIDL. The announcement describes the facility as infrastructure for institutional participants in tokenized financial products. It does not establish that USDe itself is the asset exchanged through the facility.
USDe Quoted at USD 1.00
Market data for Ethena USDe recorded a price of USD 1.00 at 12:05 UTC, or 13:05 Berlin time, on November 15, 2026. The quoted instrument was identified as Ethena USDe with the ticker USDe. The Investing.com USDe page provides additional market and instrument information.
For investors, the facility is relevant mainly as an institutional-liquidity development around Ethena's broader ecosystem. Its stated maximum capacity is not the same as continuously funded liquidity, and the release notes that terms may be changed, suspended or terminated. The announcement therefore describes a new access mechanism rather than a guaranteed level of available liquidity.
