Securitize, a platform that issues and services tokenized securities, expanded the activity flowing through its system in the second quarter, but Securitize's revenue did not reflect that scale.<\/p>\n

Average tokenized assets under management reached $4.3 billion, up 16% from a year earlier, while aggregate transaction volume climbed 147% to $5.3 billion, according to the company's second-quarter results<\/a>. Securitize's revenue nevertheless fell 5% to $14.4 million, and the company reported a $21.7 million net loss.<\/p>\n\n

Securitize's revenue lagged platform growth<\/h2>\n

Securitize defines transaction volume as investments, redemptions, dividends and cross-chain asset movements. The increase was driven mainly by subscription and redemption activity in BlackRock's BUIDL and BUIDL-I funds, along with a $250 million subscription to the Securitize Tokenized AAA CLO Fund, according to the company's management discussion<\/a>. The measure captures platform activity, a broader category than recognized revenue.<\/p>\n\n

Tokenization revenue fell 12% to $7.8 million, which management attributed primarily to fewer completed on-chain integrations. Asset-servicing revenue rose 3% to $6.6 million, but the roughly $200,000 increase was not enough to offset the decline in tokenization revenue.<\/p>\n

A sequential comparison also shows that higher platform activity did not ensure higher quarterly sales. In the first quarter<\/a>, Securitize generated $19.5 million of revenue and positive adjusted EBITDA of $800,000 on lower average AUM of $3.2 billion and lower transaction volume of $1.9 billion.<\/p>\n

Operating costs and expenses then jumped 56% year over year to $24.1 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses rose by $4.7 million, reflecting higher professional, consulting, accounting and public-company readiness costs. Compensation and benefits increased by $2.5 million as Securitize added staff, including employees connected to its MG Stover fund-administration acquisition. The expected credit-loss provision rose by another $1.2 million after a specific customer receivable was written off.<\/p>\n

\"Securitize<\/a><\/p>\n

Those costs pushed the operating loss to $9.7 million from about $200,000 a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA, a company-defined non-GAAP measure, swung from a $1.8 million profit to a $5.5 million loss. The reversal shows that the deterioration extended beyond the liability remeasurements that affected the headline net loss.<\/p>\n

The $21.7 million GAAP loss included a net $11.7 million adverse fair-value movement, according to the company's reconciliation<\/a>. A $29.3 million option-liability loss and a $4.3 million loss on simple agreements for future equity were partly offset by a $21.8 million derivative-liability gain. These non-cash remeasurements were excluded from adjusted EBITDA.<\/p>\n

The balance sheet changed materially after the quarter ended. Securitize had $33.6 million in cash on June 30, one day before completing its business combination with Cantor Equity Partners II. An unaudited pro forma balance sheet<\/a>, which illustrates the transaction as if it had closed on June 30 rather than reporting a separately measured July cash balance, showed $352.6 million of combined cash and no borrowings after convertible notes and related instruments converted into equity. The same pro forma statement still showed $118.5 million of total liabilities, including earnout liabilities and interest payable.<\/p>\n

The next test is whether Securitize can convert rising platform use into more integration and asset-servicing revenue while keeping its expanded public-company cost base from outpacing sales.<\/p>\n\n
