The BlackRock-supported tokenization platform Securitize delivered disappointing financial metrics in its inaugural earnings announcement as a publicly traded entity on the New York Stock Exchange. Following the disclosure Wednesday, the stock plummeted approximately 20% during extended trading hours, reflecting investor dissatisfaction with results that significantly underperformed market forecasts.
For the second quarter, Securitize generated $14.4 million in revenue, representing a 5% year-over-year decrease from the $15.3 million recorded in the comparable 2024 period. Wall Street analysts had anticipated revenue of $20.6 million, making this a substantial shortfall.
The company’s net deficit expanded significantly to $21.7 million during the three-month period concluding June 30. This represents a considerable deterioration from the $6.1 million loss reported in last year’s second quarter.
On a per-share basis, the loss totaled $2.37. Market observers had projected a much smaller loss of merely $0.15 per share. Meanwhile, adjusted EBITDA deteriorated from a positive $1.8 million to a negative $5.5 million year-over-year.
Chief Executive Carlos Domingo characterized the three-month period as experiencing “softer” performance during the company’s earnings conference call, though he emphasized stronger momentum earlier in the year. Revenue for the first half of 2025 remained 16% above the corresponding period in 2024.
The company’s strongest performance came in Q1, when revenue peaked at a record $19.5 million. The subsequent second-quarter decline mirrored broader weakness across cryptocurrency markets.
Platform Metrics Show Robust Growth Despite Financial Underperformance
While revenue figures disappointed, operational metrics on the Securitize platform demonstrated significant expansion. Average tokenized assets under management climbed to an unprecedented $4.3 billion, marking a 16% year-over-year increase.
Quarterly transaction volume surged 147% to reach $5.3 billion. The firm’s fund-services division managed 663 active investment vehicles with $24.3 billion in total assets under administration.
Securitize operates as an infrastructure provider enabling asset management firms to create and administer conventional financial instruments as blockchain-native tokens. Notable clients utilizing the platform include BlackRock and KKR.
The firm gained prominence primarily through its management of BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, a tokenized money-market vehicle introduced in 2024. BUIDL has emerged as among the largest tokenized Treasury and money-market offerings available.
Recent Public Listing and Strategic Collaborations
Securitize completed its transition to public markets last month through a merger with a Cantor Fitzgerald-sponsored special purpose acquisition company. Wednesday’s earnings represented the company’s debut financial disclosure as a listed stock.
The firm presently manages approximately $5 billion in blockchain-based assets.
Strategic initiatives include collaboration with the New York Stock Exchange to develop trading infrastructure for tokenized securities. Additionally, Securitize has established a partnership with transfer agent Computershare to facilitate tokenized share offerings for U.S.-based issuers.
Prior to the after-hours decline, shares traded near $7.86. These results arrive amid growing institutional interest in asset tokenization, though Securitize has yet to translate that momentum into consistent revenue expansion.
