Securitize pushes into $6 trillion asset-backed finance market with River One acquisition

Securitize acquired River One to expand into the roughly $6 trillion asset-backed finance market, pairing the deal with a $50 million stock buyback after quarterly revenue rose 13%. SECZ shares jumped 10% after hours on the announcement. The move extends the tokenization firm beyond its existing digital-securities business into asset-backed lending and structured credit. Investors will watch how quickly River One’s pipeline converts into tokenized products and whether the buyback signals confidence in cash generation.
