The deal, announced this week, brings Securitize For Advisors under Anchorage Digital’s umbrella, though financial terms were not disclosed in the announcement. The unit provides registered investment advisors with tools to offer digital asset exposure, including trading interfaces and client-facing portfolio access, within a regulated framework.

Anchorage stated the acquisition formalizes an existing relationship, with most Securitize For Advisors client assets already custodied at Anchorage Digital Bank. Securitize For Advisors, under its parent firm Securitize, was launched in 2021 and grew rapidly as registered investment advisers (RIAs) sought compliant ways to integrate digital assets into client portfolios.

According to the announcement, the platform reached record levels of net new deposits and assets under management over the past year, outpacing broader growth across the advisory industry. Anchorage plans to integrate the advisor platform into its existing custody, trading, and settlement services.

The transaction also reflects a narrowing of focus for Securitize, which has emerged as one of the most prominent players in asset tokenization. The firm is best known for powering Blackrock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), a tokenized fund with a market capitalization of about $1.84 billion. Securitize has worked with large asset managers to bring funds and private market products onto public blockchains.

The company operates a fully regulated infrastructure, including an SEC-registered broker-dealer, a digital transfer agent, and an SEC-regulated Alternative Trading System (ATS). This setup allows issuers to tokenize securities, manage investor onboarding, and support secondary trading under U.S. securities rules. The company has surpassed billions of dollars in tokenized assets across multiple products.

By divesting its advisor-focused business, Securitize seems to be signaling a sharper emphasis on tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) rather than building front-end wealth tools. Anchorage Digital, meanwhile, gains direct access to RIAs seeking compliant digital asset exposure, effectively folding an advisor interface into its custody-first model.

The move highlights how digital asset infrastructure firms are segmenting roles as tokenization matures: some are focusing on issuance and market plumbing, while others concentrate on how advisors and institutions actually access those assets. Either way, the concept of tokenizing RWAs is blossoming all over the world.
