USDe issuer Ethena wants to invest some of its reserves into tokenized US treasuries. In a governance post on July 16, the protocol disclosed its intention to allocate $235 million in USDT stablecoin from its collateral assets and $45 million from its Reserve Fund to real-world assets (RWA) products.

This move follows a similar trend by several DeFi protocols, which opt to invest a portion of their reserves into tokenized RWAs due to the relative stability of these assets and the ease of investing directly on-chain. Several funds are already requesting part of the allocation.
BlackRock’s BUIDL, others bid for Ethena’s reserve allocation
Following the governance post , which requires that entities seeking allocation submit their application to Ethena Governance, many funds are already applying. BlackRock and Securitize tokenized fund BUIDL are among the several who have applied to Ethena to allocate to their fund.
The Ethereum-based money market fund applied for an allocation of $34 million out of the $45 million in the Ethena Reserve Fund and has offered around 4.88% APY after fees with an annual fee of 0.50%.
Despite launching less than five months ago, BUIDL has emerged as the dominant RWA project thanks to its association with BlackRock. The protocol controls over 28% of the market, with over $500 million in assets under management (AUM).
