Case Study: Securitize

Challenge

Securitize is the largest tokenization platform in the world by assets, providing institutions with access to blockchain-based tokenization solutions. However, creating multichain tokenized assets has historically been fragmented — limiting liquidity, accessibility, and investor flexibility.

Securitize’s clients include Hamilton Lane, KKR, and BlackRock; the latter of whom launched the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) in March 2024, which has a total AUM of over $2 billion as of April 2025.

Solution

To meet its interoperability needs for servicing the world’s most systemically important assets and institutions, Securitize selected Wormhole as its official interoperability provider. By integrating Wormhole’s secure and scalable infrastructure, Securitize was able to:

Leverage Wormhole’s multichain capabilities to enable seamless tokenized asset transfers across multiple blockchain ecosystems.
Implement a customized interoperability solution tailored to institutional needs.
Facilitate multichain access to tokenized funds like BlackRock’s BUIDL and Apollo Globals’ ACRED.
Provide investors with greater liquidity and flexibility in managing digital securities.

Results

By integrating Wormhole, Securitize has unlocked new efficiencies and expanded access to tokenized assets, leading to:

Multichain support for major institutional tokenized funds, including BlackRock’s BUIDL ($2B AUM) and Apollo’s ACRED.
Expansion to multiple blockchain networks, including Aptos, Avalanche, Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana.
Increased institutional adoption of tokenized funds, bridging the gap between traditional finance and decentralized finance.

Carlos Domingo, Co-founder and CEO of Securitize, said: “On our journey to offer multichain tokenized funds, Wormhole’s interoperability platform provides the necessary tools for institutional-grade security and flexibility. This enables our clients’ tokenized assets, like BlackRock’s BUIDL, to scale seamlessly across new networks, further expanding access and liquidity for investors.”
