Fidelity intends to convert Treasury securities into digital assets (tokens)
In the rapidly evolving world of digital assets, Fidelity Investments has taken a significant step forward with its Fidelity Treasury Digital Fund (Ticker: FYHXX). As of early August 2025, the fund is actively available, priced at a stable NAV of $1.00, and offers yields ranging from 2.9% to 4.15% depending on the measurement period[1][2].
This fund marks Fidelity’s foray into tokenized Treasury offerings, aimed at integrating digital assets within money market structures for enhanced liquidity. In comparison, BlackRock’s BUIDL, a digital asset initiative targeting institutional products, and Hashnote’s USYC, another tokenized Treasury offering, are at different stages of development.
Fidelity’s fund is a fully operational liquidity fund, boasting daily pricing and yield monitoring. In contrast, BlackRock’s BUIDL and Hashnote’s USYC are either emphasizing infrastructure or lacking available yield data for direct comparison. The key distinctions are outlined in the table below:
| Parameter | Fidelity Treasury Digital Fund | BlackRock BUIDL | Hashnote USYC | |------------------------------|----------------------------------------------|--------------------------------|-----------------------------| | Fund Status | Active, daily NAV $1.00, regular yield data | Initiative/platform in progress | Active, but specifics unclear| | Transparency on NAV & Yield | Published NAV and yield data publicly | Not detailed in search results | Not detailed in search results| | Focus | Tokenized Treasury fund with liquidity goals | Digital asset infrastructure | Tokenized Treasury with digital asset focus |
The steady yield and NAV stability of Fidelity’s fund suggest ongoing active management aimed at maintaining liquidity and yield in a tokenized Treasury environment. Meanwhile, BlackRock and Hashnote, known for their roles in tokenization, may focus on expanding product offerings or deeper integrations with institutional digital asset trading and custody in the future.
Fidelity’s fund tokens can initially only be held via the Fidelity wallet, and the primary records of ownership will be conventional, reconciled with the blockchain daily. The fund's total market capitalization is approaching $5 billion, with the Fidelity Treasury Digital Fund representing a mature stage of product deployment in the tokenized Treasury market.
Meanwhile, Ondo Finance, with $75 million invested in a non-tokenized Fidelity fund, and Hashnote’s USYC, which has 95% of its tokens invested in the Usual stablecoin, are also players in this growing market. Ondo Finance's OUSG fund primarily comprises other tokenized funds like BUIDL, Franklin Templeton's FOBXX, and WisdomTree's WTGXX.
As the tokenized Treasury market continues to grow, Fidelity’s Treasury Digital Fund stands out as a well-established and transparent option for investors seeking liquidity and digital asset integration within money market structures.
