Bybit has introduced Finloop's FUIDL, a tokenized USD liquidity product backed by an AAA-rated money market fund, giving eligible users a way to hold yield-bearing dollar exposure directly on the exchange. The product is aimed at institutional and eligible investors looking for short-term liquidity management rather than the volatility of typical crypto assets.
Hourly Access and Same-Day Interest
FUIDL is structured to offer hourly subscription and redemption windows, a notably faster cycle than the daily or multi-day settlement typical of traditional money market funds. Interest accrues on a T+0 basis, meaning holders begin earning yield the same day they subscribe rather than waiting for a settlement cycle to complete.
Usable as Collateral
Beyond simply holding the token for yield, Bybit says eligible investors can use FUIDL as collateral on the exchange, letting holders put the tokenized fund to work supporting other positions rather than leaving it idle. The listing continues a broader trend of exchanges bringing tokenized real-world assets, particularly short-duration cash-management products, onto their platforms as a bridge between traditional fund structures and on-chain settlement speed.
FUIDL fits a broader pattern of exchanges wrapping traditional, conservative financial instruments — here, an AAA-rated money market fund — into tokenized products that offer crypto-native access and faster settlement than the underlying fund normally allows. Hourly subscription windows and T+0 (same-day) access let holders move in and out of the position far faster than a traditional money-market fund's typical settlement cycle, while still carrying the credit profile of an AAA-rated instrument rather than a crypto-native yield source.
FAQ
What does "T+0 access" mean for FUIDL holders?
It means redemptions settle the same day, rather than the T+1 or T+2 settlement cycles typical of traditional money market funds.
Why back a tokenized product with an AAA-rated fund instead of crypto assets?
It gives holders exposure to a conservative, highly-rated credit instrument's yield profile, appealing to users who want stability rather than the volatility of crypto-native yield products.
