Securitize Capital registers with the SEC as an investment adviser
The move adds investment-advisory services for institutional clients and increases Securitize Capital’s regulatory obligations under the Investment Advisers Act.
Securitize Capital, a subsidiary of tokenized asset platform Securitize, has registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser, expanding its regulated services for institutional clients, Cointelegraph reports.
The registration adds investment advisory capabilities on top of Securitize’s existing SEC-regulated businesses, including a broker-dealer, alternative trading system, transfer agent, and fund administration services. CEO Carlos Domingo said the change strengthens the company’s ability to help institutions develop and manage investment strategies for onchain capital markets.
Cointelegraph says Securitize Capital previously operated as an exempt reporting adviser and will now face additional disclosure, compliance, recordkeeping, and examination requirements under the Investment Advisers Act.
The story also notes that Securitize is the largest tokenization platform by onchain asset value, with about $4.8 billion in tokenized assets across funds from BlackRock, Apollo, KKR, VanEck, Hamilton Lane, and others. It began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ on July 2 after a merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, and shares have since fallen about 46% from their first-day closing price.
