Company mission
Securitize's mission is to decrease friction and create liquidity in the private sector..

Our take
Securitize uses the blockchain to tokenize shares in private businesses which can then be bought, sold, and traded on the Securitize marketplace. It thereby brings liquidity to what were historically illiquid assets, helping private businesses raise further capital from investors - and more investors access private business assets that were once the preserve of accredited investors only.
Securitize is chalking up a number of ‘firsts’. It was the first SEC registered transfer agent to operate on the blockchain, as well as the first firm offering this service in both Europe and the US. It’s attracted some top-billing investors too, and reportedly has racked up well over a million investor accounts. On top of this, its recent acquisition of Onramp grants the company access to a large base of registered investment advisor (RIA) customers.
Securitize’s platform spans at least two major and emerging fintech trends - facilitating more transparent trading through tokenization, as well as catering to the growing appetite for private securities marketplaces. Though there are competitor marketplaces it will have to contend with, its track record of groundbreaking progress could well see it fend off rivals and secure a position at the front of this evermore lucrative market.
