- Jump Crypto invests in Miami-based Securitize, a leading platform for bringing real-world assets to public blockchains.
- Tokenized assets like Treasurys managed by Securitize have surged in value, with the BlackRock BUIDL fund now holding $2.86 billion.
- The tokenization market is expanding rapidly, and Securitize plans to launch a new blockchain called Converge for institutional investors this quarter.
Jump Crypto, the digital asset division of Jump Trading, has made a strategic investment in Miami-based Securitize. Securitize is recognized for its role in bringing real-world assets such as U.S. Treasurys and private credit onto public blockchains. Details about the financial terms of the investment were not released.
This marks the first outside investment in Securitize since BlackRock led a $47 million fundraising round last year. According to official reports, major asset managers including Apollo, Hamilton Lane, and KKR have all utilized Securitize to issue funds on blockchain networks such as Ethereum and Solana. These tokenized funds include mainstream financial products like Treasurys, private credit, and private equity.
BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, managed on the Securitize platform, currently oversees $2.86 billion in assets. The fund operates as a money market fund and has become a major example of tokenization’s growth. Since its launch just over a year ago, tokenized Treasury products have increased by 800% to reach nearly $7 billion. "We think that the market should be digesting this investment really as a signal that firms like Jump now have conviction in not only tokenization, but the role and the impact that tokenization is having on capital markets, capital formation and investment accessibility on chain," said Michael Sonneshein, COO of Securitize.
Tokenized products, like the BUIDL fund, offer features that traditional products typically do not, such as daily dividend payments. Investors are increasingly choosing tokenized Treasurys over stablecoins as collateral due to the yield benefits. Securitize expects that Jump Crypto will help expand the application of tokenized assets in areas like collateral management and trading.
The tokenization industry is growing quickly. The total value of real-world assets (RWAs) on blockchain has more than doubled, from about $9 billion to $22.4 billion, since the launch of BUIDL. The Boston Consulting Group projects tokenized assets to reach $19 trillion by 2033. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Crypto Task Force will host a roundtable on tokenization with issuers such as Securitize in the coming week.
In addition, Securitize is partnering with Lisbon-based Ethena Labs to launch a new blockchain named Converge, aiming to provide a compliant entry point for institutional capital into decentralized finance (DeFi). The launch of Converge is scheduled for later this quarter.
