Securitize expands regulated platform with SEC adviser license

WikiBit|2026-07-28

Abstract:Securitize Capital LLC, a subsidiary of tokenization firm Securitize, has officially registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, allowing it to collaborate more closely with asset managers and institutional investors on tokenized strategies. CEO Carlos Domingo called the step key to expanding Securitize's platform, which now combines four regulated components: an SEC-registered investment adviser, broker-dealer operating an Alternative Trading System, transfer agent, and fund administration services. The firm went public in July via a SPAC merger. Other crypto companies like Coinbase, Kraken, and Galaxy Digital also operate SEC-registered advisory services, while Anchorage Digital acquired Securitize For Advisors in December 2025 to deepen its presence in the registered investment adviser space.

Quick Take

The registration will enable Securitize to work more closely with asset managers and institutional investors on tokenized investment strategies.
In December, Anchorage announced the acquisition of Securitize For Advisors, the wealth-management platform Securitize had built for registered investment advisers.

Tokenization firm Securitize has officially gained status as a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, according to an announcement on Monday.

In particular, Securitize Capital LLC, a subsidiary of the publicly traded firm, gained the SEC registration, which will enable it to work more closely with asset managers and institutional investors on tokenized investment strategies.

“Becoming an SEC-registered investment adviser is an important step in the continued expansion of Securitize's platform,” Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo said. Asset managers and institutional investors want to work with partners that understand both the opportunity of tokenization and the obligations that come with operating in regulated markets.

With this step, Securitize's U.S. platform now combines four regulated pieces: an SEC-registered investment adviser, an SEC-registered broker-dealer that operates an Alternative Trading System (ATS), an SEC-registered transfer agent, and fund administration services.

“Through Securitize Capital, we are adding another important capability to our full stack and strengthening our ability to help institutions develop and manage investment strategies built for an onchain financial system,” Domingo added.

Securitize (SECZ) is not the only firm to launch advisory services. Both Coinbase and Kraken have debuted SEC-registered investment advice platforms powered by AI, while Galaxy Digital has long operated its Galaxy Digital Capital Management LLC unit.

Of note, Anchorage Digital has pushed deeper into the RIA space in particular through a December 2025 acquisition of Securitize For Advisors, the wealth-management platform Securitize had built for registered investment advisers.

Securitize went public on July 2 through a SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners II.
