In its debut quarterly report as a publicly traded company, BlackRock-partnered tokenization platform Securitize delivered results that sent investors fleeing. The stock tumbled approximately 20% during Wednesday’s extended trading session after financial metrics came in well below analyst projections.
For the second quarter, Securitize posted revenue of $14.4 million, representing a 5% decline from the $15.3 million recorded in the corresponding 2024 period. Wall Street had anticipated revenue of $20.6 million, making the shortfall substantial.
The company’s net loss ballooned to $21.7 million during the three-month period ending June 30. This stands in stark contrast to the $6.1 million loss reported in last year’s second quarter.
On a per-share basis, the loss registered at $2.37, dramatically worse than the $0.15 loss per share that analysts had projected. Meanwhile, adjusted EBITDA flipped to a negative $5.5 million from a positive $1.8 million twelve months earlier.
Chief Executive Carlos Domingo acknowledged the “softer” quarterly performance during the company’s earnings conference call, though he emphasized that the first half overall showed strength. Revenue for the six-month period rose 16% versus the first half of 2024.
The opening quarter of 2025 represented the company’s peak performance, delivering record revenue of $19.5 million. The subsequent second quarter slowdown aligned with broader headwinds affecting cryptocurrency markets.
User Metrics Show Growth Amid Financial Struggles
While revenue figures disappointed, operational metrics on the Securitize platform painted a more optimistic picture. Average tokenized assets under management climbed to an all-time high of $4.3 billion, representing 16% growth from the year-ago quarter.
Platform transaction volume experienced explosive growth, surging 147% year-over-year to reach $5.3 billion in the second quarter. The firm’s fund-services division managed 663 active funds with $24.3 billion in total assets under administration.
Securitize operates as an infrastructure provider enabling asset management firms to create and administer traditional financial instruments as digital tokens on blockchain networks. Major clients include financial giants BlackRock and KKR.
The platform gained prominence through its administration of BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, a tokenized money-market vehicle introduced in 2024. BUIDL has established itself as among the largest tokenized Treasury and money-market offerings available.
Recent Public Listing and Strategic Initiatives
Securitize completed its transition to public markets last month through a business combination with a Cantor Fitzgerald-sponsored special purpose acquisition company. Wednesday’s earnings release marked the company’s maiden report as a listed entity.
The firm currently oversees approximately $5 billion in blockchain-based assets across its platform.
Additional strategic efforts include collaboration with the New York Stock Exchange to develop infrastructure supporting tokenized securities trading. The company has also aligned with transfer agent Computershare to facilitate tokenized equity issuance for companies based in the United States.
Shares traded near $7.86 prior to the after-hours decline. The disappointing results emerge as institutional interest in asset tokenization expands across Wall Street, though Securitize has yet to translate that momentum into consistent revenue expansion.
