Securitize

About

Securitize is a regulated platform for tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs), providing institutional-grade infrastructure for issuing, managing, and investing in tokenized securities. It offers tokenization-as-a-service, fund administration, and digital asset reporting, bridging traditional finance and DeFi.

Where Does Yield Come From?

Securitize creates digital tokens that represent shares in investment funds. These funds earn yield (income) from real-world assets like:

  • U.S. Treasury bills
  • repurchase agreements (short-term loans)
  • senior credit positions (loans to companies)

The yield builds up daily or on a regular schedule. It is then paid out to token holders as dividends or interest payments.

Securitize charges management fees (for example, a 0.2% unitary fee) and other service fees. However, the platform does not take the yield itself. Instead, the yield flows directly from the companies or entities that issue the assets to the investors, using the tokenized structure as a pipeline.
