Securitize Capital registered as an SEC investment adviser on July 27, expanding its regulated platform for tokenized assets. The move adds advisory to existing broker-dealer, transfer agent, and fund admin services.
Securitize Capital, a subsidiary of the tokenization firm Securitize (NYSE: SECZ), registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser on July 27. The move adds a third regulated license to the company's U.S. suite, which already includes a broker-dealer operating an alternative trading system and a transfer agent.
Securitize Capital was previously an exempt reporting adviser. The full registration under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 brings mandatory public disclosure, compliance obligations, recordkeeping standards, and potential SEC examinations.
The company issued tokenized products such as BlackRock's BUIDL money market fund. It works with asset managers including BlackRock, Apollo, KKR, VanEck, and Hamilton Lane. Securitize went public in early July 2026 through a business combination.
CEO Carlos Domingo said the registration reflects the firm's strategy of building within existing regulatory structures. He said asset managers and institutional clients prefer partners who understand both tokenization and the responsibilities of regulated markets.
The registration opens the door for Securitize Capital to offer broader advisory services to asset managers and institutional investors exploring onchain strategies. The company now holds four regulated positions: investment adviser, broker-dealer, transfer agent, and fund administrator.
The move comes as the SEC and other regulators debate how traditional investment-adviser rules apply to onchain portfolio management tools. Securitize's expanded platform allows it to serve institutions that want to pursue blockchain-based strategies within established rules.
The company declined to comment on whether the registration would affect its revenue or client pipeline. The firm's shares have fallen 10% since the July 3 listing, a move analysts attributed to broader market conditions.
