ARK Invest, an asset management firm led by Cathie Wood, has invested $10 million in Securitize, a tokenized firm backed by BlackRock.
According to its <a href="https://www.ark-funds.com/portfolio" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">official fund portfolio</a>, Securitize is now the eighth largest investment in ARK’s ARK Venture Fund portfolio, which includes this investment. Based on ARK’s net assets of $325.3 million as of September 30, the fund’s most recent report shows that about 3.25% of its assets are invested in Securitize.&nbsp;
Founded in 2017, Securitize lets users tokenize real-world assets (RWAs) like bonds, stocks, and funds on blockchain networks. The company is best known for working with BlackRock on the BUIDL Fund, which is a tokenized U.S. Treasury fund that has about $2.8 billion in assets right now.
The investment shows that ARK is becoming more interested in tokenizing real-world assets. This is a sector that is expected to be worth trillions of dollars in the next few years as more traditional institutions move toward blockchain-based financial infrastructure.
BlackRock and Hamilton Lane, with ParaFi Capital and Tradeweb, led a funding round for Securitize earlier this year that raised $47 million. Furthermore, earlier this month, <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2025/10/02/fg-nexus-to-tokenize-stock-on-ethereum-with-securitize/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FG Nexus teamed up with Securitize</a> to let shareholders turn both common and preferred shares into tokenized shares on the Ethereum blockchain.
