[Securitize Secures $400 Million in Funding to Expand Institutional Tokenization Business Through Acquisitions] According to CoinDesk, NYSE-listed company Securitize (SECZ) plans to deploy over $400 million in funding to expand its institutional tokenization platform through the acquisition of complementary businesses, rather than acquiring competitors. Securitize previously went public via a merger with Cantor's SPAC, retaining approximately 70% of the trust funds, with total fundraising exceeding $400 million. Since its founding in 2017, the company has issued approximately $4.4 billion in tokenized assets, including BlackRock's $2.2 billion U.S. Treasury money market fund BUIDL and nearly $300 million in Securitize's own tokenized equity, making it one of the largest issuers of tokenized assets to date.
