Securitize, a leading tokenized real-world asset (RWA) platform and issuer of BlackRock’s Ethereum-based $BUIDL fund, announced today its integration with the Solana blockchain to expand institutional-grade financial products.
Notably, the partnership aims to accelerate adoption of blockchain-based asset tokenization by combining Solana’s high-speed infrastructure with Securitize’s regulatory-compliant framework.
Securitize, which counts BlackRock as its lead investor, will leverage Solana’s low transaction costs and scalability to support high-throughput financial applications.
In addition, the move positions Solana as a contender for major traditional finance (TradFi) institutions, including Apollo Global Management and Hamilton Lane, which already use Securitize’s platform.
“This integration unlocks new opportunities for investors worldwide by merging institutional expertise with blockchain efficiency,” said Nick Ducoff, Head of Institutional Growth at the Solana Foundation.
Securitize: Why Solana?
Solana’s blockchain processes transactions at speeds exceeding 65,000 per second with fees under $0.001, making it increasingly attractive for institutional crypto activity. Its ecosystem holds $11.5 billion in stablecoin liquidity, a key metric for TradFi adoption.
Analysts suggest this liquidity, paired with regulatory clarity, positions Solana to capture a significant share of the projected multi-trillion-dollar RWA market.
“Any major fund looking to tokenize assets will now consider Solana due to its capital velocity and deep liquidity pools,” said Yash Agarwal, a decentralized finance analyst in a post on X.
Market Impact and Future Projections
Securitize’s Apollo Diversified Credit Fund ($ACRED), launched in 2023, is among the products expected to benefit from Solana’s infrastructure.
Industry observers anticipate further announcements as TradFi firms accelerate blockchain pilots. “The regulatory dam is breaking. What’s coming will redefine finance,” Agarwal added.
