Securitize, a real-world asset (RWA) tokenization company, has registered as a registered investment adviser (RIA) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The new status will allow the firm to expand its services for institutional investors and asset managers.
According to The Block, the registration was granted to Securitize Capital LLC, the company's subsidiary. Securitize said the approval strengthens its position in the regulated financial services market.
With the new registration, Securitize's U.S. business now combines several regulated entities under one umbrella. In addition to its RIA registration, the company operates an SEC-registered broker-dealer with an alternative trading system (ATS), a transfer agent, and a fund administration business.
Company expands regulated services
According to Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo, institutional investors are looking for partners that can not only implement tokenization but also operate within the framework of regulated financial markets.
He said obtaining RIA status marks another milestone for the company. Through Securitize Capital, the firm plans to help financial institutions develop and manage investment strategies built on onchain infrastructure.
Securitize remains one of the largest players in the RWA tokenization market. The platform works with leading asset managers and has participated in launching multiple investment products.
Competition for institutional clients intensifies
The registration comes as major crypto firms increasingly expand into regulated advisory services.
Both Coinbase and Kraken have launched SEC-registered investment advisory platforms, while Galaxy Digital has been developing its Capital Management division for several years.
On July 2, 2026, Securitize became a publicly traded company after completing its merger with SPAC firm Cantor Equity Partners II. The transaction gave the company access to public capital markets and additional opportunities to expand its platform.
Securitize shares fell about 40% one week after the company's debut on the New York Stock Exchange. According to Jeff Dorman, chief investment officer at Arca, the decline reflects the typical post-SPAC pattern, as arbitrage investors lock in profits after the merger closes.
