Securitize Capital registers with the SEC as investment adviser
The filing expands the firm’s regulated toolkit, which already includes broker-dealer, ATS, transfer agent and fund administration services.
Securitize said its subsidiary, Securitize Capital, has registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser, expanding the company’s existing set of regulated businesses, according to CoinDesk.
The new registration is intended to support Securitize’s push to work more closely with asset managers and institutional investors exploring onchain investment strategies, including tokenized vaults and other blockchain-based products.
Securitize already partners with major asset managers including BlackRock, Apollo, KKR and VanEck, issues BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized money market fund, and listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ.
The move comes as regulators begin examining how securities rules apply to digital assets, with SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce previously noting that certain crypto vaults and lending strategies could fall under investment adviser regulations depending on their structure and management, CoinDesk reported. Vaults.fyi data cited by CoinDesk put curated vault assets at about $8.6 billion.
