BlackRock's fund is back at roughly $2.8bn, but the pool it leads has grown to $15bn to $16bn. A share that once ran 40% to 46% is now closer to 18%. The title has changed hands twice inside a year.

Ondo, BlackRock and Securitize pitched OUSG for Sky's roughly $1 billion tokenization allocation, offering 24/7 redemptions capped at $25 million a day. Much of OUSG's money sat in BlackRock's BUIDL fund, so BlackRock manages the underlying Treasuries whether Sky chooses OUSG or BUIDL.

RWA.xyz's count puts US T-bills at $15bn of a $46.2bn total and five assets at about 70% of it. Other trackers stop at $38bn, so the Treasury share of onchain finance moves seven points on the choice of tracker.
