Swiss-law tracker certificate on the iShares $ Treasury Bond 0-1yr ETF.
Prism analyst note
bIB01 offers the simplest legal story in tokenized fixed income: a Swiss tracker certificate collateralized 1:1 by the actual iShares ETF. Free secondary transferability (no per-transfer whitelist) makes it popular as DeFi collateral in EU-facing protocols. Liquidity is moderate; large redemptions route through the primary process. Effectively a money-market-duration ETF with T+0 settlement.
