Securitize Capital Registers as SEC Investment Adviser

Securitize Capital, a subsidiary of tokenized-asset platform Securitize, registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser on July 27, 2026. The registration permits the firm to provide formal investment advisory services to institutional clients.

The firm had previously operated as an exempt reporting adviser. The new status adds investment advisory capabilities to Securitize’s existing regulated businesses, which include an SEC-registered broker-dealer, an alternative trading system, a transfer agent and fund administration services.

As a registered investment adviser, Securitize Capital becomes subject to the Investment Advisers Act and its related disclosure, compliance, recordkeeping and examination requirements. The company must meet higher reporting standards and is open to SEC examinations under the adviser regime rather than the lighter obligations that apply to exempt reporting advisers.

Carlos Domingo, Securitize’s chief executive, described the registration as strengthening the company’s ability to help institutions develop and manage investment strategies for on-chain capital markets.

Securitize reports about $4.8 billion in tokenized assets on its platform, representing funds from managers including BlackRock, Apollo, KKR, VanEck and Hamilton Lane. The platform provides the technical and regulatory infrastructure to issue, trade and administer tokenized securities; the adviser registration adds portfolio advisory services to those offerings.

Securitize completed a merger with Cantor Equity Partners II and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ on July 2, 2026. Since the first-day closing price, the shares have fallen about 46 percent.

Under the adviser registration, Securitize Capital is authorized to enter into registered investment advisory agreements with clients and must maintain detailed records of client interactions and advisory decisions. The registration places the firm under the regulatory requirements that apply to SEC-registered investment advisers.
