Injective, a leading platform in decentralized finance,&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://blog.injective.com/en/injective-powers-the-first-ever-tokenized-index-for-blackrocks-buidl-fund/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">launched</a> the BUIDL Index. This index is reportedly the world’s first perpetual market designed to track the supply of BlackRock's $BUIDL Fund.&nbsp;
The introduction of this index offers unprecedented 24/7 exposure to tokenized assets, including U.S. treasuries, with options for leverage, according to the Injective team.
<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-what-is-the-buidl-index-span-span">What is the BUIDL Index?</h2>
Unlike traditional asset tracking, which typically focuses on price, the BUIDL Index monitors the underlying supply of BlackRock's $BUIDL Fund itself. This approach allows users to gain insights and exposure based on the supply dynamics of the fund.
&nbsp;
The BUIDL Fund, BlackRock’s inaugural tokenized fund, provides stable U.S. dollar yields to its holders. With a stable value of $1 per token, it delivers daily dividends, which are distributed monthly.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The fund’s assets include U.S. treasury bills, cash, and repurchase agreements, and it has amassed over $500 million in assets under management, making it the largest tokenized fund to date.

The BUIDL Index operates on a perpetual market model, allowing users to take long or short positions based on their expectations of supply changes. If the supply of $BUIDL tokens increases, the index price rises, and if it decreases, the index price falls.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Traders can take advantage of this mechanism to speculate on supply fluctuations, thus offering new opportunities for investment and risk management.
&nbsp;
The market is governed by the fund’s mark price, which adjusts intraday based on supply changes. To ensure stability and mitigate short-term volatility, Injective employed a 1-hour Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP).

Injective's BUIDL Index was developed in collaboration with Stork, a decentralized price feed service that delivers high-speed data for both on- and off-chain applications.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The launch of the BUIDL Index follows Injective’s broader Altaris Mainnet upgrade, which included the introduction of a Real-World Asset (RWA) oracle. Through this oracle network, Injective reportedly can offer new tokenized asset offerings, ensuring accurate and secure data feeds.
&nbsp;
Previously, the BUIDL Fund was exclusive to institutional investors with a minimum investment of $5 million. However, the new BUIDL Index democratizes access to this asset class, enabling individuals to trade with as little as $1.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Injective's ongoing efforts were supported by a&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://bsc.news/post/injective-announces-150m-ecosystem-venture-group-to-accelerate-adoption" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$150 million</a> ecosystem venture fund in January 2023 backed by Pantera Capital, Jump Crypto, and KuCoin Ventures.
