Securitize announced the completion of the fundraiser today, marking a good start for the month. Apart from investment asset management firm BlackRock which led the funding round, the strategic capital raise enjoyed participation from Hamilton Lane, ParaFi Capital, and Tradeweb Markets.
Part of the investment deal saw BlackRock’s Global Head of Strategic Ecosystem Partnerships Joseph Chalom join Securitize Board of Directors as a member. For Securitize, this investment underscores its pioneering effort in integrating blockchain and the digitization of capital markets. Securitize Co-Founder and CEO&nbsp;Carlos Domingo is positive about the prospects that exist in this integration.
“In our view, the transformative potential of blockchain technology to reshape the future of finance in general – and tokenization in particular – is promising,” he said.
BlackRock shares the same sentiment with Securitize that tokenization holds the potential to drive a significant transformation in capital markets infrastructure. The management firm sees the investment in Securitize as another step in the evolution of its digital assets strategy.
The company plans to use the generated funds to push innovation and expansion of its existing products while re-establishing itself as a leader in the digital asset securities landscape.&nbsp;
