• Revenue from asset servicing operations soared 201% to reach $8.3 million

The Miami-headquartered tokenization platform Securitize has announced its strongest quarterly performance to date for the opening quarter of 2026, marking a significant milestone as the firm advances toward its public market debut.

First-quarter revenue climbed to $19.5 million, marking a robust 39% expansion versus the corresponding period in the previous year.

Asset Servicing Division Powers Revenue Expansion

The asset servicing division emerged as the primary growth catalyst. This segment’s revenue skyrocketed 201% to $8.3 million, fueled by the expansion of Securitize Fund Services, which was administering 650 active funds by the close of March.

Meanwhile, tokenization-related revenue held steady at $11.1 million, showing minimal change from the $11 million recorded in the first quarter of last year.

Throughout the quarter, the platform facilitated $1.9 billion in transaction activity and maintained $24.9 billion in aggregate assets under administration.

By March’s conclusion, tokenized assets under management stood at $3.4 billion. While substantial, this represents only a fraction of the firm’s broader assets under administration.

Operating Deficit Expands Amid Strategic Investments

Notwithstanding the revenue advancement, Securitize recorded a net deficit of $7.9 million, equivalent to 88 cents per diluted share. This represents a deeper loss compared to the corresponding prior-year timeframe.

Management attributed the expanded deficit to strategic investments in talent acquisition and infrastructure development, coupled with expenditures associated with public company readiness initiatives.

On an adjusted Ebitda basis, Securitize maintained profitability, although this metric declined to $800,000 from $4.1 million in the year-ago quarter.

CFO Francisco Flores noted that the company concluded the quarter with robust liquidity and approximately neutral operating cash flow, excluding working capital fluctuations and public company preparation costs.

Strategic Alliances and Evolving Regulatory Landscape

The first quarter witnessed several notable institutional collaborations. In March, Securitize and the New York Stock Exchange unveiled a partnership aimed at advancing the tokenized securities ecosystem. Securitize earned the distinction of being the inaugural firm authorized to create blockchain-based securities for ETFs on the NYSE’s Digital Trading Platform.

The platform also broadened access to BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized money market fund via a fresh integration with Uniswap Labs. Fund shares are now accessible for trading through UniswapX infrastructure.

From a regulatory perspective, FINRA granted Securitize approval this month for custody of tokenized securities and underwriting capabilities for tokenized IPOs and secondary market offerings. Bloomberg has additionally reported potential SEC announcements regarding an innovation exemption framework for tokenized equities.

Benchmark analysts characterized Securitize as a “picks and shovels” opportunity in the tokenization sector, noting that capturing even a modest portion of the NYSE’s approximately $44 trillion market capitalization could potentially triple its tokenized asset holdings.

Public Market Transition Progressing as Planned

Securitize continues advancing its public market entry through a combination with Cantor Equity Partners II, a Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition company. The transaction is projected to finalize during the latter half of 2026, with shares expected to trade under the ticker symbol SECZ.

Cantor Equity Partners II shares climbed 5% on Wednesday in response to the quarterly results announcement.
