Securitize Agrees To Buy River One To Expand Into Asset-backed Lending

BlackRock-backed tokenization platform Securitize has agreed to acquire New York-based capital provider River One. The deal is set to bolster Securitize’s offering by bringing asset-backed lending to the company. The deal is set to complete in the fourth quarter of 2026.

The move will bring a new layer to Securitize’s offering. The company currently provides tokenization services to financial institutions and others.

What River One Will Bring

River One is building technology that will allow lenders to gain access to stablecoin funding. Lenders can use pools of small business loans and receivables as collateral and borrow money.

We have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire @RiverOneHQ, an institutional asset-backed financing platform.

Founded in 2025, River One specializes in warehouse financing backed by portfolios of income-generating assets, including small business loans and receivables. https://t.co/ETcXIegGEE

This could allow another link between traditional credit markets and blockchain. Using stablecoin funding pools lenders can gain access to capital.

Securitize will also be able to provide credit arranging services through the acquisition. This will allow the company to do more than just provide tokenization services but also gain a foothold in the credit market. This is particularly important within the tokenization market which has been growing in popularity. Traditional financial assets can now be tokenized.

Securitize already has links with some major financial institutions such as BlackRock. They currently provide infrastructure for tokenized assets. This means that entering the lending market is a natural progression. This acquisition could allow Securitize to link tokenized assets with capital. As well as using stablecoin funding.

Securitize Deal Set To Close In Q4 2026

However, this deal has not yet completed. It is set to complete in the fourth quarter of 2026. If completed this will allow Securitize to play a bigger role in the digital asset financial market. They will have both tokenization services and asset-backed credit technology.
