What Securitize Japan does
Securitize Japan株式会社 (Securitize Japan K.K.) is the Japanese operating subsidiary of Delaware-incorporated Securitize, Inc., founded September 2018 (originally as BUIDL, rebranded April 2020) and headquartered in Tokyo. The company provides a blockchain-based digital securities (security token) issuance and lifecycle management SaaS platform, supporting self-offering, brokerage-offering, bank-offering, benefited bond, and 4条/2条 (Specified Real Estate Joint Venture Act) crowdfunding schemes. The underlying Securitize Platform (Securitize PF) deploys across 8+ public blockchains (Ethereum, Avalanche, Polygon, Solana, BNB Chain, Algorand, Aptos, Arbitrum, Optimism) plus private Quorum, governed by the proprietary DS Protocol for compliance-controlled token transfer.
The platform generates revenue through SaaS subscriptions, per-issuance transaction fees (notably for benefited bonds via STdirect Services), and professional services for customization and integration. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales to large Japanese corporations (Marui Group, Credit Saison, Tokyu Corporation, PPIH, LIFULL), bank and trust bank distribution (Sony Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank), securities firm channels (Mizuho Securities, Phillip Securities, Starts Securities), and channel partnerships — most notably NTT Data's STdirect Services platform and JIP's OmegaFS back-office integration. The parent company holds SEC-registered broker-dealer, transfer agent, and ATS licenses in the US, and an EU TSS license under the DLT Pilot Regime. Securitize, Inc. has raised approximately $303M cumulatively (including a $225M PIPE in October 2025) and announced a planned Nasdaq listing via SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners II at a $1.25B pre-money valuation, targeted for H1 2026.

Securitize Japan competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- Tokeny: Luxembourg-based tokenization platform for issuance and lifecycle management of security tokens, with a strong European focus. Comparable to Securitize in offering compliance-aware token infrastructure, though smaller in scale and lacking the bank/treasury partnership depth that Securitize has built.
- Polymath: Early-stage security token platform providing ST-20 standard issuance tools and compliance features. Functionally comparable to Securitize on the digital securities issuance stack, though with lower institutional adoption and no comparable Japanese market presence.
- Onchain (Liberty City Ventures): Institutional digital asset custody and prime brokerage platform. Functionally adjacent to Securitize's US operations (Securitize Markets) in serving institutional clients seeking compliant digital asset exposure, with overlapping customer base of asset managers and broker-dealers.
Direct peers
- Progmat: Japanese security token platform incubated by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. Operates the dominant domestic ST infrastructure backed by Japan's largest bank, providing issuance and management for tokenized bonds, real estate, and other assets. Most direct head-to-head competitor to Securitize Japan in the Japanese market.
- Boostry: Daiwa Securities Group-backed security token platform in Japan, focused on issuance, secondary trading, and settlement of tokenized securities including corporate bonds and structured products. Directly competes with Securitize Japan for brokerage and bank channel distribution partnerships.
- tZERO: US-based security token exchange and tokenization platform owned by Medici Ventures/Overstock legacy. Operates an SEC-regulated ATS for tokenized securities. Direct functional peer to Securitize's US operations (Securitize Markets) on issuance, ATS trading, and DS Protocol-equivalent compliance controls.
Broad incumbents
- R3: Enterprise blockchain provider (Corda) serving financial institutions globally with tokenization, digital asset, and CBDC initiatives. Broader than Securitize (infrastructure layer) but increasingly competing in regulated tokenization for banks and capital markets, overlapping with Securitize's institutional client base.
- Digital Asset Holdings: Enterprise blockchain and tokenization infrastructure company (DAML, Daml Ledger) serving capital markets clients. Comparable to Securitize in targeting regulated financial institutions for tokenization and asset digitization, with similar Canton Network-based infrastructure play.
- Fireblocks: Digital asset custody and infrastructure platform serving institutional clients including tokenization platforms. Adjacent rather than direct competitor, but overlaps with Securitize in the broader 'infrastructure for tokenized assets' category and serves many of the same issuers (asset managers, banks).
- SBI Holdings: Japanese financial conglomerate with deep crypto, ST, and digital asset initiatives including SBI Digital Asset Holdings, SBI NFT, and sbiwallet. Both a Securitize Japan partner (sbiwallet integration) and a potential competitor as SBI builds its own tokenization capabilities across its banking, securities, and asset management businesses.
