Active Risk Exposure (From Risk Radar)

Evaluation of BlackRock's on-chain footprint, primarily driven by the BUIDL structural model.

Asset / Product [TECH] [CUST] [LEGAL] [LIQ]
BlackRock BUIDL A AA A BB
Analyst Summary: BlackRock inherits structural reliance on Securitize (Transfer Agent) and Ethereum Mainnet. Liquidity carries a "BB" surveillance tag due to dependency on USDC pools for secondary atomic settlement, though backed 1:1 by US Treasuries via BNY Mellon.
