Securitize Strengthens RWA Dominance with $3.1B in Tokenized Assets and Proprietary DS Protocol

Quick Breakdown:

• Securitize controls $3.1B in tokenized assets, nearly 20% of the global RWA market.
• BlackRock backed Securitize with a $47M investment after launching its BUIDL fund on the platform.
• Acquisition of MG Stover makes Securitize the largest digital asset fund administrator.

Securitize has reinforced its position as the undisputed leader in the real-world asset (RWA) market, emerging as the only U.S.-based platform capable of handling the full lifecycle of tokenized securities under a regulated framework. The firm, which famously tokenized BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, now oversees $3.1 billion worth of tokenized assets, capturing nearly 20% of the global RWA market share.

Institutional Backing and Market Leadership

Registered as a Transfer Agent and Broker Dealer with the SEC and FINRA, and licensed with an Alternative Trading System (ATS), Securitize offers a rare blend of regulatory compliance and blockchain technology. This dual capability has positioned it as the preferred partner for institutions, with BlackRock’s selection of Securitize for the launch of its first tokenized fund, BUIDL, marking a milestone in traditional finance’s adoption of tokenization.

BlackRock further cemented the partnership in May 2024 with a $47 million investment in Securitize, underscoring its confidence in the platform’s role at the forefront of digital asset transformation. Other notable products launched on the platform include Apollo Diversified Credit Securitize Fund (ACRED), Blockchain Capital III Digital Liquid Venture Fund (BCAP), and Mantle Index Four Fund (MI4).

The DS Protocol: Technical Engine of Tokenized Securities

At the heart of Securitize’s ecosystem is the DS Protocol, the smart contract infrastructure that underpins its tokenized securities. Unlike conventional tokens, RWAs must comply with strict investor protections, such as restricting transfers to qualified purchasers who have passed KYC requirements. The DS Protocol enables this by embedding compliance directly into the token’s design, managing issuance, transfers, dividends, voting rights, and secondary market trading.

In a move to expand beyond tokenization into fund administration, Securitize recently acquired MG Stover’s fund administration business, positioning itself as the largest administrator in the digital asset sector. The acquisition underscores its ambition to not only dominate tokenization but also lead in servicing the rapidly growing digital asset fund market.
