What Securitize does

Securitize is a San Francisco-based technology company that operates an end-to-end platform for issuing, servicing, and trading tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), founded in 2017 by Tal Elyashiv and led by CEO Carlos Domingo. The platform enables issuers to create digital securities backed by private equity, credit, and equity instruments; provides investor onboarding with KYC/AML; and supports onchain compliance enforcement via the DS Protocol and Vault Registrar. The technology spans more than ten blockchain networks (Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Polygon, Arbitrum, Aptos, Hedera, Sei, Frax, TRON), with cross-chain interoperability via Wormhole and DeFi composability through Aave, Uniswap, Euler, Loopscale, and Zharta.

The company operates through a regulated subsidiary structure: Securitize Markets is an SEC-registered broker-dealer and FINRA/SIPC member running an Alternative Trading System (ATS) for tokenized securities — and in May 2026 became the first standard broker-dealer approved to custody tokenized securities with atomic stablecoin swaps. Securitize Fund Services provides digital-asset fund administration for over 600 funds representing $26B in assets under administration. Securitize Transfer Agent LLC is the first SEC-registered transfer agent for digital asset securities, while Securitize Europe Brokerage and Markets (Madrid) holds MIFID II authorization across the EU. Institutional clients include BlackRock (BUIDL), Hamilton Lane, KKR, Apollo, Atlas Capital, and Currenc Group, with partnerships covering NYSE, Computershare, Continental Stock Transfer, Jump Trading, Jupiter, and TRON.

Revenue is generated across multiple lines: issuance fees on tokenized securities, fund administration fees (Securitize Fund Services / MG Stover acquisition), transfer-agent fees, broker-dealer/ATS transaction revenue, and RIA-distribution fees via the acquired Onramp Invest platform. Q1 2026 revenue was $19.5M (39% YoY growth), with nine months ended September 2025 at $55.6M (841% YoY) and a 2026 full-year projection of $110M. The company is pursuing a public listing via SPAC business combination with Cantor Equity Partners II (Nasdaq: CEPT) at a $1.25B pre-money valuation, expected to close after a June 29, 2026 shareholder vote, trading on NYSE as SECZ. Active litigation includes patent infringement suits by tZERO and Liquid Rarity Exchange, and a Securitize countersuit against tZERO in Delaware.

Securitize competitors and assessment

Company assessment

Direct peers

tZERO: SEC-registered broker-dealer operating an Alternative Trading System for tokenized securities and a security-token issuance platform. Most directly comparable competitor and currently a patent-litigation counterparty.
Polymath: Security token issuance platform providing KYC/AML, token standards, and investor management tooling for issuers of digital securities — directly overlapping with Securitize's DS Protocol offering.
Tokeny: EU-based (Luxembourg) tokenization platform for funds and private securities with built-in compliance (KYC, whitelisting). Comparable end-to-end issuance workflow and target issuer profile.
ADDX: Singapore-regulated private-market tokenization platform fractionalizing funds, bonds, and structured products for accredited investors — directly comparable to Securitize Capital's mandate.
Ondo Finance: Tokenized U.S. Treasuries and yield-bearing products (USDY, OUSG), competing for institutional capital against BlackRock BUIDL and similar tokenized money-market products on Securitize's rails.
DigiShares: White-label security token issuance and investor management platform targeting private equity, real estate, and funds — overlapping issuer and use-case profile with Securitize.
Taurus: Swiss-based institutional digital-asset infrastructure provider offering tokenization, custody, and trading for banks and asset managers; comparable regulated infrastructure mandate.

Emerging players

Centrifuge: Decentralized protocol for tokenizing real-world receivables and credit (Tinlake), focused on DeFi-native integration rather than regulated broker-dealer rails — adjacent in RWA tokenization thesis.

Broad incumbents

Figure Technologies: Blockchain-enabled financial services firm (home equity, HELOC, capital markets, Provenance Blockchain) — broader scope than Securitize but overlapping in onchain capital-markets infrastructure.
R3: Enterprise blockchain (Corda) consortium serving regulated financial institutions for tokenization, digital identity, and capital-markets workflows — broad incumbent in institutional DLT space.
