BlackRock, a leading asset management firm, has announced plans to purchase Uniswap's UNI tokens following the deployment of BUIDL on the DeFi platform Uniswap. The company has not disclosed the specific quantity of UNI tokens it intends to acquire. The integration of BUIDL into Uniswap is expected to have limited initial impact, as it involves Securitize creating a whitelist of eligible institutions for DeFi trading. This whitelist includes market makers like Wintermute to facilitate transactions. Access to BUIDL is restricted to qualified purchasers with assets of $5 million or more.
