- Maple Finance’s AUM reaches $2.9 billion
- BlackRock’s BUIDL fund trails behind at $2.3 billion
- Maple gains edge in the on-chain asset management race
Maple Finance, a leading DeFi credit protocol, has officially surpassed BlackRock’s BUIDL fund in total assets under management (AUM). According to recent data, Maple’s AUM has climbed to an impressive $2.9 billion, outpacing BlackRock’s $2.3 billion in the BUIDL fund.
This milestone highlights a significant shift in investor sentiment, signaling growing trust in decentralized financial products and on-chain asset management platforms. Maple’s rapid rise shows the increasing adoption of DeFi solutions that offer transparency, accessibility, and competitive returns.
BlackRock’s BUIDL Lags Behind in Crypto AUM Race
BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, launched as a tokenized investment product on Ethereum, made headlines for being one of the earliest major traditional finance entries into on-chain assets. While the fund gathered strong initial interest, it hasn’t kept pace with the growth shown by its decentralized competitors like Maple.
Despite the backing of one of the world’s largest asset managers, BUIDL’s performance underscores the challenges faced by TradFi firms entering the DeFi arena. The fund currently holds $2.3 billion in AUM—significant, but now second to Maple.
The Growing Appeal of DeFi Asset Management
The success of Maple Finance underscores a broader trend: investors are increasingly looking to decentralized platforms for more efficient, transparent, and high-yield opportunities. Maple’s flexible lending pools, smart contract integrations, and strong governance are winning over both institutional and retail investors.
As on-chain finance continues to grow, the race for AUM leadership is far from over. However, Maple Finance has clearly staked its claim as a dominant player in the evolving world of decentralized asset management.
