Tokenization platform Securitize plans to acquire asset financing platform River One

On November 10, according to The Defiant, tokenization platform Securitize has signed a definitive agreement to acquire asset-backed financing platform River One. The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

Following the acquisition, Securitize plans to integrate its tokenization infrastructure with River One’s warehousing financing technology, enabling institutions to bring financial assets on-chain and secure financing using them as collateral. River One focuses on financing operations backed by interest-bearing asset portfolios such as small business loans and accounts receivable.

Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo stated that this marks the company’s first acquisition since going public. River One is currently establishing partnerships with capital providers in the stablecoin ecosystem.
