NYSE Names Securitize First Digital Transfer Agent as Firm Posts Record Q1 Revenue
Total revenue reached $19.48 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, up 39% from the same period a year earlier. The Miami-based company credited expanded assets under management and recurring fees from tokenized funds, including Blackrock’s BUIDL, for fueling the gain.
Asset servicing revenue climbed to $8.34 million from $2.77 million in Q1 2025. Tokenization revenue held relatively steady at $11.14 million, down 1% year over year, reflecting stable conditions in the broader digital asset market.
The company posted a net loss of $7.93 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, compared with a $5.12 million net loss in Q1 2025. Securitize attributed the wider loss to costs tied to preparing for its public listing, interest expenses, and fair value adjustments on derivative liabilities. Loss from operations narrowed to $2.40 million from $3.93 million in the prior-year period.
Adjusted EBITDA came in at $0.83 million, down from $4.1 million a year ago.
Tokenized assets under management stood at $3.4 billion at quarter-end, with an average of $3.2 billion during the quarter. Aggregated transaction volume reached $1.9 billion. Assets under administration totaled $24.9 billion across 650 active funds serviced by Securitize Fund Services.
“Tokenization is poised to be the most consequential upgrade to U.S. capital-market infrastructure in a generation,” Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo remarked. Chief Financial Officer Francisco Flores noted the company delivered positive operating leverage despite increased headcount investments and public-company preparation costs.
Cash and equivalents declined to $14.46 million at March 31 from $24.87 million at Dec. 31, 2025. Total assets fell to $135.09 million from $169.78 million over the same period.
During the quarter, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) named Securitize its design partner and first digital transfer agent for tokenized securities, with Securitize Markets appointed as the first broker-dealer to connect to the NYSE Digital ATS. Uniswap Labs and Securitize also announced an integration enabling Blackrock’s BUIDL shares to trade through UniswapX technology.
Securitize was also selected to tokenize loan interests tied to Trump International Hotel and Resort in the Maldives, expanding its footprint in real estate tokenization.
The broader tokenized real-world asset market grew roughly 35% during Q1, reaching $31 billion as of March 31, according to rwa.xyz. Securitize said it maintained its position as the leading tokenization platform by AUM.
After the quarter closed, the company announced an agreement with Computershare, the world’s largest transfer agent, to become its partner for issuer-sponsored tokenized securities. Securitize also received FINRA approvals for custody and atomic settlement operations.
The company is pursuing a business combination with SPAC Cantor Equity Partners II (Nasdaq: CEPT), announced in October 2025 and valued at $1.25 billion pre-money. The deal includes a $225 million PIPE and is expected to close in the first half of 2026. No earnings call was held, given the pending transaction. Post-merger, Securitize expects to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker SECZ.
