Securitize Capital has registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, a move that broadens the firm's regulated platform for tokenized assets. The registration adds investment advisory services to the company's existing institutional offering, which already includes tokenization and secondary trading of private securities.
What the Registration Covers
The SEC registration allows Securitize Capital to provide investment advice to clients, including institutional investors, regarding tokenized assets. This expands the firm's role beyond simply tokenizing securities and facilitating trades. Now, the company can offer guidance on portfolio allocation, asset selection, and other advisory functions within the digital asset space.
Tokenized assets — digital representations of traditional securities like private equity, real estate, or venture capital funds — have faced regulatory uncertainty. By registering as an investment adviser, Securitize Capital signals a commitment to operating within the existing regulatory framework. The move could encourage other firms to pursue similar registrations, potentially increasing institutional participation in tokenized markets.
Securitize Capital will now begin offering advisory services under SEC oversight. The company has not disclosed a specific launch date for the new services, but the registration is effective immediately. Whether the SEC will oversee these new advisory activities and whether other tokenization platforms will follow suit.
