Securitize has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire River One, an institutional asset-backed financing platform developing technology to connect stablecoin capital with traditional lending markets.
The firm’s solution brings AI origination and structuring, facility setup, borrowing-base reporting, collateral monitoring, and funding operations together within a single system.
River One’s technology seeks to streamline warehouse credit facility management and join traditional underwriting and legal protections with blockchain-based infrastructure.
Upon completion of the acquisition, asset-backed lending will be available on the Securitize platform, adding to the currently available issuance and servicing capabilities.
Securitize’s tokenisation infrastructure will combine with River One’s warehouse financing technology to enable institutions to bring financial assets onchain and access financing against the instruments through an integrated platform.
Commenting on the acquisition, Securitize chairman and CEO Carlos Domingo says: “River One brings a talented team, deep expertise in asset-backed financing and blockchain technology that will allow us to participate in asset origination and lending markets.
“This opens up a significant new addressable market for Securitize, with opportunities for higher-value services, additional revenue streams, and greater monetisation across our platform.”
Braham Mehta, co-founder and CEO of River One, adds: “We built River One to bring modern AI and blockchain technology and new sources of capital to institutional lending while maintaining the credit discipline and protections these markets require.
“Joining Securitize gives us the opportunity to bring this approach to a much larger market.”
The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
