Securitize has registered its investment advisory unit, Securitize Capital LLC, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This step enabled the company to add a new regulated service on top of its existing lines of business. Thus, Securitize moved its infrastructure focusing on the regulation of issuance processes and transfer transactions to a broader framework.
New registration expanded service area
The company was currently operating as a brokerage firm, transfer agent and alternative transaction system operator. With the new SEC registration, investment consultancy was also added to this structure. This expansion is seen as an important step, especially for asset managers and institutional investors to access tokenized products in compliance with regulations.
Securitize announced that Securitize Capital LLC has expanded its regulated platform with its registration as an investment advisor with the SEC, adding advisory capacity for asset managers, institutional investors and other developed market participants.
Securitize is known as one of the leading companies focused on representing real-world assets on blockchain. Business lines within the group include issuance and secondary market operations of tokenized US Treasury securities, money market funds and private credit products. The company is also one of the important institutions providing on-chain registration services for BlackRock’s BUIDL fund.
Mini dictionary: RWA, that is, real-world assets, refers to the digital representation on the blockchain of traditional financial products such as bonds, fund shares or loans. BUIDL stands out as BlackRock’s tokenized money market fund.
Compliance-focused access to institutional investors
Investment advisor registration could partially address a fundamental regulatory loophole that large financial institutions have long faced. When accessing tokenized products, corporate players demand not only technological infrastructure but also consultancy support suitable for compliance processes. This development indicates that Securitize is positioned not only as a technical provider but also as a more comprehensive service platform.
For asset managers, this step may enable product development and distribution processes in the field of tokenization to be carried out more holistically. On the regulatory side, a new contact point is created to monitor the growing market more closely. According to rwa.xyz data, the size of the tokenized market has reached 3.8 billion dollars.
The new SEC registration comes as major companies prepare to launch blockchain-based financial products within the legal framework.
It coincided with a period of increased competition
This record comes at a time when competition in the tokenized asset market is accelerating. As the race to develop regulatory-compliant products continues, different RWA platforms and asset managers are preparing their own solutions for the market. In Europe, the MiCA framework and approval processes for crypto-related investment products are strengthening the trend of industry players to establish regulated structures.
Securitize’s latest move stands out as part of its strategy to gather infrastructure, issuance, secondary market and consultancy services under the same roof in the tokenization market. It is understood that the company aims to provide a more comprehensive service to corporate customers with this structure.
