[CoinDesk] 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 as quarterly revenue rose 13%. Shares of SECZ jumped 10% after hours on the announcement. The move extends the tokenization firm's push beyond its existing digital-asset products into asset-backed lending and structured credit. Investors will watch how quickly River One's origination pipeline is integrated and whether the buyback signals confidence in sustained revenue growth.
