$150B BlackRock Fund Adds Digital Share Class Using Blockchain Tech

Published by

BlackRock, the leading asset manager, has filed with the SEC to launch a blockchain-based digital share class, called DLT Shares, for its $150 billion Treasury Trust Fund. 

Bloomberg ETF analyst Henry Jim revealed that DLT Shares will be exclusively sold through BNY Mellon, which plans to use blockchain technology to track ownership. The offering targets institutional investors, with a minimum investment of $3 million.

The Treasury Trust Fund aims to keep a significant portion of its assets in highly liquid investments, such as cash and short-term government securities, to maintain a stable $1 per share value. This system may be a test or early step toward using blockchain for digital currencies or cash transactions in the future.

The fund avoids illiquid securities and will not invest in hard-to-sell assets if that would make up more than 5% of its total value. This helps keep the fund easy to cash out for investors. As of April 29, 2025, BlackRock’s Treasury Trust Fund, part of the BlackRock Liquidity Funds, held around $150.1 billion in assets.

Larry Fink Says Tokenization Could Reshape Finance

BlackRock’s recent move matches CEO Larry Fink’s recent remarks on how tokenization could change investing. In a recent letter to investors, Fink explained that tokenization could speed up transactions, remove delays, and quickly reinvest money back into the economy to help it grow. 

Fink also said that the main challenge with tokenized assets is the lack of proper identity checks. Once that is fixed, he thinks that the tokenised funds could become as familiar as ETFs. Other big companies like JP Morgan, State Street, and Franklin Templeton are also exploring blockchain for tokenized funds.
