Reduced BUIDL Collateral Haircut Now Live on Crypto.com Exchange

Crypto.com Exchange has reduced the collateral haircut rate for BUIDL from 2% to 1%, enabling institutional clients to use their assets more efficiently in trading activity.

BUIDL, BlackRock’s tokenized US Treasury fund, represents exposure to short-term US Treasuries and overnight repo, designed to maintain a stable value while generating yield for holders. As a collateral asset on the Exchange, it allows institutional clients to combine capital preservation with trading activity.

With the reduced haircut, a greater portion of deposited BUIDL contributes toward margin balance, increasing available trading capacity across derivatives markets without requiring additional capital.

What This Enables

BUIDL functions as a yield-generating collateral asset within the Exchange’s margin framework, allowing institutional clients to maintain exposure to stable, income-generating instruments while actively trading.

With improved collateral weighting, clients can deploy BUIDL more effectively across cross-collateral setups, supporting derivatives positions while maintaining capital in a lower volatility asset base.

Why It Matters

The integration of tokenized real-world assets such as BUIDL into trading collateral frameworks reflects a shift toward more capital-efficient institutional trading models.

By reducing the haircut rate, Crypto.com Exchange enhances the competitiveness of its collateral offering, positioning BUIDL as a more efficient alternative relative to comparable platforms while supporting advanced treasury and trading strategies.
