Securitize, a tokenization firm, has improved its regulatory standing by registering Securitize Capital, a subsidiary, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment adviser. With the growing demand for tokenized real-world assets, the company’s regulated services are expanded by the new license. The move is expected to help Securitize work more closely with institutional investors and asset managers looking to bring traditional financial products onto blockchain networks.
The latest registration adds another layer to Securitize’s growing list of regulatory approvals. The company already operates a regulated broker-dealer, alternative trading system (ATS), transfer agent and fund administration business. By becoming a registered investment adviser, Securitize can now offer a broader range of services to institutions exploring blockchain-based investment strategies.
The timing is significant as U.S. regulators continue examining how existing securities laws should apply to tokenized financial products.
SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce has stated that depending on how they are set up and run, certain cryptocurrency loan and vault products may be subject to investment advisor requirements.
One of the areas of decentralized finance (DeFi) that is expanding the fastest is cryptocurrency vaults.
These products automatically allocate users’ crypto assets across lending markets and other yield-generating opportunities. According to industry data, curated crypto vaults currently manage around $8.6 billion in assets.
Securitize has already built infrastructure around tokenized lending. The company has partnered with Euler to create permissioned lending vaults that allow tokenized assets, such as VanEck’s VBILL fund, to be used as collateral while maintaining investor eligibility requirements.
The company has also established partnerships with several leading asset managers, including BlackRock, Apollo, KKR and VanEck. It is the issuer behind BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized money market fund and has worked with the New York Stock Exchange on developing infrastructure for tokenized securities trading.
Although Securitize’s shares have declined since its public listing earlier this month, the new SEC registration reflects the company’s long-term strategy of becoming a key infrastructure provider for the growing tokenized asset market, where blockchain technology is increasingly being integrated with traditional finance.
