Securitize Plans River One Acquisition to Connect Stablecoin Capital With Asset-Backed Finance

Securitize has agreed to acquire River One, a move aimed at linking tokenized stablecoin capital with traditional asset-backed financing. The deal would combine Securitize’s tokenization platform with River One’s asset-backed lending and credit infrastructure, expanding the firm’s reach beyond fund tokenization into private credit. It matters because stablecoin issuers and tokenized treasury holders are seeking yield-bearing outlets, and asset-backed finance offers a bridge between onchain liquidity and offchain collateral. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed in the cited excerpt. Next, watch for regulatory approvals and closing timing, plus whether Securitize discloses the combined platform’s assets under management and any new stablecoin-linked credit products.
