Securitize Funding Round led by Blockchain Capital
The funding round, which was made up primarily of fiat currency and a small percentage of tokens, was led by Blockchain Capital and was joined by some well-known cryptocurrency and blockchain firms Xpring at Ripple, Global Brain, NXTP and OK Blockchain Capital.
The funding round will help Securitize prepare for its planned launch of a Digital Security Offering (DSO) next year. According to the statement, the company believes that decentralized ledgers can bring instant transactions and transparency to the securities market.
Furthermore, Securitize also believes it is the most market-ready compliance platform for primary issuance and lifecycle management of digital securities. This is because it has worked on projects such as 22x, SPiCE VC, and Augmate.
