? ONDO Spikes 8% as Major Derivatives Exchanges Mull BlackRock's BUIDL as Collateral Option

Asset manager BlackRock is reportedly in early talks with major crypto exchanges Binance, Deribit, and OKX to list its tokenized money market fund as collateral for derivatives trading. The tokenized money market fund would allow traders to earn a yield while using them as margin for trading, rather than posting stablecoins as collateral. Ondo Finance's governance token ONDO saw an 8% spike in price following the news, reaching 79 cents, and is up nearly 9% over the past 24 hours. BlackRock's tokenized offering, BUIDL, is the largest on the market with over $550 million in assets and offers money market yield without leaving blockchain rails. The use of tokenized collateral assets is growing in popularity and could potentially be accepted in traditional finance to mitigate liquidity stress during financial crises.
