It is a curious fact, perhaps known to few, that in the tranquil halls of finance, change slithers with the silent inevitability of winter spreading across the steppes. BlackRock, that venerable institution whose holdings are as vast as the land and as inscrutable as the hearts of men, has now sought counsel not with philosophers or priests, but with the gods of technology. Their petition? To inscribe, not on parchment or ledgers, but upon the incorruptible blocks of the digital chain, the record of their BLF Treasury Trust Fund (TTTXX) shares. Ah, how the soul of the ancient money lender shudders! šš°
What does this augur for the peasantsāpardon, the investors? Merely this: Digital Ledger Technology (DLT) shares, to be procured only through the sacred offices of BlackRock Advisors and the formidable Bank of New York Mellon. A minimum titheāthree million dollars, though who is counting? Only those who do not possess it, I presumeāis required. The April 29th missive to the Securities and Exchange Commission made this proclamation, as if etched by Scribes upon stone.
It must be noted, lest confusion sprawl like an ill-tended crop, that these DLT shares are not shiny tokens, racing through the digital ether seeking meaning in a world gone mad. No, these are but mirrorsāhumble tools to reflect the true, immutable ownership, perhaps to convince the skeptical peasants that their gold has not vanished into a blockchain abyss. The āofficialā record will, of course, be kept with the diligent care of a nineteenth-century counting clerk: traditional book-entry, quill and all (metaphorically, at least).
The matter of management fees and enticing tickers remains shrouded in mystery, much like the fate of the serfs following a poor harvest. BlackRock speaks not of such trifles in their petition, but surely, money would not be invested if it was not to be also harvested. š¾
In a turn that surprises less than the sunrise following night, BlackRockās glittering example follows that of Fidelity. Fidelity, on a bright March day, filed for their own Ethereum-based OnChain sharesāseeking to gather $80 million under the same digital roof (which, for those keeping score, is approximately enough rubles to tile a modest dacha).
Should the regulatory Tzar permit, Fidelityās OnChain class will rise like a new moon on May 30, glowing softly above the troubled fields of governmental money funds.
Wall Street heavyweights and the endless pursuit of tokenized glory
Thus, in this modern tale, all the czars and princes of asset management have discovered blockchaināwith much the same fervor Napoleon discovered the Russian winter: with great excitement and, perhaps, insufficient preparation. Treasury bills, bonds, private creditsāall now eagerly await their moment to be ātokenized,ā a word that surely means something very important to someone, somewhere.
BlackRockās BUIDL currently hoards $2.55 billion atop the digital hill, while Franklin Templetonās own OnChain money fund gathers $700 millionāa princely sum to those unfamiliar with BlackRockās coffers. Collectively, the kingdom of treasury tokenization is appraised at $6.16 billion, at least until someone mislays a password.
Ethereum, that chaotic bazaar of dreams and disappointment, secures over $4.55 billion in tokenized assets. Stellar and Solana, like provincial cousins vying for a seat at the family table, make do with $474.9 million and $274.5 million respectively. One must admire their pluck, if not their bank accounts.
Into this maelstrom rides Larry Fink, unbowed, clutching the standard of technological revolution. He claims this digital alchemy will change investing foreverāa sentiment as old as the roads to Moscow via Smolensk. Whether his pronouncement is prophecy or jest, only time and the marketās iron laws will decide. ā³š
