Securitize Fund Services: Revolutionizing Real-World Asset Tokenization
Securitize Inc., a platform specializing in real-world asset tokenization, has introduced a new fund administration service called Securitize Fund Services. This development comes after the platform surpassed $1 billion in tokenized assets on the blockchain.
Understanding Asset Tokenization
Tokenization allows traditional assets, such as real estate or stocks, to be converted into digital tokens, making them accessible on the blockchain. This process can enhance the management and trading of these assets by offering transparency, security, and real-time updates.
Introducing Securitize Fund Services
Securitize announced the launch of Securitize Fund Services, expanding its platform with a comprehensive fund administration solution. This marks a significant step in offering a unified, end-to-end solution that combines primary marketplace and secondary trading.
Supporting Institutional Investors
The Securitize platform is designed to support institutional investors from both traditional finance and decentralized finance firms looking to manage assets on-chain. The new Securitize Fund Services aims to address gaps in traditional fund administration, specifically in processes like investor onboarding and calculating fund net asset value.
Recent Integrations and Partnerships
Earlier in October, Securitize integrated Zero Hash to help qualified investors subscribe to BlackRockβs tokenized fund using the USDC stablecoin. Through this partnership, institutional investors could purchase the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund, with Zero Hash handling the conversion to U.S. dollars.
Streamlining Fund Management
With Securitize Fund Services, institutional clients, including private equity firms and investment managers, gain a more streamlined approach to managing tokenized assets, from capital raising to secondary trading. By consolidating these services on a single platform, Securitize seeks to address challenges in traditional fund administration, such as slow investor onboarding and delayed reporting.
For instance, with smart contractsβautomated programs on the blockchainβtasks like issuing tokens and tracking fund performance are faster and more accurate.
Strategic Partnerships
Securitize has secured partnerships with major asset managers, including BlackRock and Hamilton Lane, who are prominent players in traditional finance. This interest is partly due to blockchainβs flexibility, which can enhance liquidity through faster transactions on secondary markets and allow real-world assets to integrate with decentralized finance protocols.
Securitize aims to advance the real-world asset space, making it easier for institutions to adopt blockchain technology for secure and transparent asset management and trading.
