What Does Securitize Do? A Guide to Its Fund Services

Securitize operates a suite of fund services spanning ownership records, distributions, trading, administration and investment advice through separate affiliates, with BlackRock's tokenized money market fund BUIDL serving as a case study of how those services wrap around a fund's own manager and exit terms. The company's model positions it as infrastructure for tokenized funds rather than a fund manager itself, keeping each function — from cap table to secondary trading — in a distinct regulated entity. The guide underscores why the BUIDL structure matters: BlackRock retained fund management while Securitize provided the tokenization, transfer agent and distribution rails. For a market where tokenized Treasury products have become a key on-chain yield venue, the piece clarifies the operational plumbing behind the fastest-growing corner of real-world assets. Watch for whether other asset managers adopt similar multi-affiliate structures as tokenized fund offerings expand.
