What is Securitize?
Securitize tokenizes real-world assets and runs broker-dealer and transfer agent entities; its Securitize Markets arm is regulated by FINRA and the SEC. It offers tokenized private funds, stocks and alternative assets, with minimum investments from $500 on some offerings. Its invest page reports 580,000+ investor accounts, with data as of April 2026.
How Securitize works
Securitize tokenizes funds and securities for issuers and sells them to investors through its own regulated entities.
Securitize Markets, LLC is an SEC-registered broker-dealer and FINRA/SIPC member, and it runs an alternative trading system for secondary trading. Securitize Capital manages some funds itself. Offerings on the invest page include BlackRock's BUIDL Treasury fund, VanEck and Arca Treasury funds, Apollo, Hamilton Lane and KKR credit and equity funds, and an ARK Venture Fund.
Each listing shows asset class, minimum, investor type and liquidity, which range from instant redemptions on Treasury funds to 12-month lock-ups on private equity. Crypto services, including USD and USDC conversion, come from Zero Hash, licensed by the New York DFS, not from Securitize Markets. The company was founded in 2017 by Carlos Domingo and Jamie Finn. In the EU it operates through Securitize Europe, a Spanish investment firm.
How to start with Securitize
- Create an account at securitize.io and complete identity checks; Securitize Markets collects data under the USA PATRIOT Act and may restrict accounts it cannot verify.
- Then pick an offering that matches your status.
- Minimums on the invest page run from $500 on the ARK Venture Fund, open to retail investors, and $1,000 on the Arca U.S. Treasury Fund, up to $100,000 on several credit funds and $5M on BUIDL.
- Many funds require accredited investor or qualified purchaser status.
Securitize fees and limits
- Securitize Markets charges a 1% trade commission on secondary trades on its ATS, based on shares times price.
- Zero Hash charges $18 per outgoing domestic wire, $25 per outgoing international wire, $40 per wire recall and 0.1% on USDC to USD conversion.
Securitize publishes a fee schedule. Each fund also has its own management fees and expenses, which are set out in that fund's offering documents rather than in this schedule.
Risks to know before using Securitize
- Securitize's own disclosures state that securities on its ATS are not registered under the Securities Act, and that tokens and private placements are speculative, may be illiquid and can lose their full value.
- Crypto assets handled by Zero Hash are not covered by SIPC or the FDIC.
- Lock-ups and quarterly or weekly redemption windows limit how fast you can exit some funds.
- Securitize says FINRA and SEC registration does not guarantee compliance with all rules.
