Securitize is expanding its regulated services by registering its subsidiary, Securitize Capital LLC, as an investment adviser with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. This development, announced on Monday, aims to enhance the firm's ability to serve institutional investors and asset managers focused on building onchain portfolio strategies.
CEO Carlos Domingo highlighted the need for institutional clients to partner with firms that grasp both the promise of tokenization and the regulatory demands of the financial markets. "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," he said.
Strengthening Regulatory Framework
With this new registration, Securitize’s US platform now integrates investment advisory services alongside existing broker-dealer, alternative trading system (ATS), transfer agent, and fund administration capabilities. This broader regulatory infrastructure positions the company to better navigate evolving rules as regulators increasingly scrutinize how traditional investment adviser regulations apply to emerging crypto investment products.
The move comes at a time when crypto firms are racing to align with regulatory expectations to maintain institutional interest. Firms like Securitize are building full frameworks that combine tokenization expertise with compliance, responding to growing demand from asset managers seeking regulated exposure to digital assets.
