BlackRock & JPMorgan quietly enter DeFi with USDtb on Base
So… BlackRock just launched their stablecoin, USDtb. Naturally, I checked where it’s trading — and the first place it showed up? Curve Finance.
Let that sink in: the world’s largest asset manager chose Curve as its first DeFi stop. No headlines. No CT hype. No announcements blasting this everywhere. Just... silence. Or maybe I’m just reading the wrong feeds?
Feel free to correct me if I’m off, but this feels huge and barely anyone's talking about it.
Went deeper - there’s already $20M TVL in the Curve pool paired with USDtb. That’s not retail playing around. That’s serious liquidity being parked by institutions, lowkey.
And it’s not just Curve. You can start to see the bigger picture forming:
• BlackRock → Coinbase → Base → Aerodrome
• BlackRock → Frax (frxUSD)
• BlackRock → Curve
• BlackRock → Real World Assets (BUIDL on Ethereum)
• JPMorgan → tokenization on Base
This is no longer theory from Reddit threads or old YouTube podcasts.
It’s happening - now, and on-chain.
More threads coming soon. Too many dots are finally connecting.
