Securitize Capital has successfully registered as an investment advisor with the SEC. This new status will allow the company to expand its work with major trading participants and provide consulting services under the full regulation of U.S. legislation.
Previously, the organization operated as an investment advisor exempt from certain reporting requirements. Following registration, the company will be required to comply with the provisions of the U.S. Investment Advisers Act. This entails stricter standards for information disclosure, record-keeping, internal controls, and undergoing regulatory examinations.
Currently, the company already holds licenses as an SEC-registered broker-dealer. Obtaining the new status will enable the consolidation of consulting, trading, and infrastructure services within a single ecosystem.
The organization's CEO, Carlos Domingo, stated that completing the registration stage expands the company's capabilities to support organizations implementing blockchain technologies in global markets. In his view, Securitize is focused on helping clients develop and execute investment strategies related to the issuance and circulation of tokenized financial instruments.
In terms of the total volume of assets placed on the blockchain, Securitize is considered one of the largest participants in the real-world asset sector. Tokenized funds from major asset management companies operate on its infrastructure. The total value of these assets is approximately $5 billion.
Despite business growth, the company's shares have remained under pressure following their market debut. Trading in the shares began on July 2nd, and their value has currently fallen by approximately 46%. The company expects that obtaining the status of a registered investment advisor will strengthen the trust of institutional clients.
