Securitize, the world’s leading platform for tokenizing real-world assets with more than $4B+ in tokenized securities, announced a strategic investment from ARK Invest, the investment management firm founded by Cathie Wood known for pioneering innovation-focused funds.
Through this investment, Securitize and ARK Invest aim to further advance institutional adoption of tokenized securities to expand access to regulated investment products, improve capital markets infrastructure, and unlock new forms of programmable ownership.
“Tokenization has reached an inflection point, with some of the largest asset managers and issuers in the world now bringing funds and equities onchain,” said Carlos Domingo, Co-founder and CEO of Securitize. “ARK Invest’s strategic investment reflects growing conviction among leading institutional investors that tokenization will fundamentally transform capital markets.”
Securitize’s prior investors include BlackRock, Hamilton Lane, Jump Crypto, Morgan Stanley, ParaFi Capital and Tradeweb Markets. This new investment from ARK reinforces the company’s position as the institutional leader in tokenization at the convergence of traditional finance and crypto-based capital markets.
