Securitize, OKX Target 24/7 Trading for More Than 70 Assets

By Elena Vasquez

Securitize is working with OKX to tokenize more than 70 assets for trading 24 hours a day, seven days a week, CEO Carlos Domingo said Nov. 11. The initiative covers stocks and exchange-traded funds on blockchain networks, according to Domingo’s interview on The Wolf of All Streets.

Alongside that work, Securitize is acquiring RiverOne to connect stablecoins with lending against real-world assets, Domingo said. The interview disclosed no launch schedule for the tokenized assets or closing date for the acquisition.

How would the 24/7 market work?

Securitize and OKX would create the tokens, with Securitize handling corporate actions in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules, Domingo said. Trading would use Uniswap v4 through an automated market maker with permission controls. Domingo said some market makers had already joined and more were expected, but the interview named none.

Domingo said some protocols use STRC as an underlying source of yield without holding the asset onchain or having access to continuous trading. The project would include Strategy shares and four of its preferred stocks. Domingo argued tokenization could change how those yield protocols operate.

Takeaway: The design has a stated infrastructure and issuer pipeline, but no timetable for continuous trading.

Why did issuer recruitment change?

Securitize changed its issuer-recruitment approach after large corporations resisted what Domingo described as new initiatives. The company then focused on technology-oriented, crypto-friendly companies and ETF providers seeking additional trading volume. The account attributes the resistance to corporate caution, but no company names or broader evidence for that characterization appeared in the interview.

Takeaway: The issuer pipeline reflects targeted recruitment, not broad participation by large corporations.

What does the RiverOne acquisition add?

Securitize’s acquisition of RiverOne is intended to connect stablecoins with real-world asset financing. RiverOne was building a platform to source stablecoins and underwrite loans backed by real-world assets, which could fund mortgages or vehicle purchases before the resulting loans were tokenized for use in the onchain economy.

Domingo said RiverOne uses AI agents to shorten loan underwriting, a process that typically involves substantial manual work. He cited speed to market as the reason for buying the company rather than building internally, arguing that the right company and team could accelerate expansion.

No purchase price, closing timetable or measured time-saving target emerged in the interview. The speed advantage therefore remains an acquisition rationale, not a documented operating result.

Takeaway: The deal targets faster underwriting, but its terms and performance remain undisclosed.

How large is the opportunity?

Domingo estimated the stablecoin market at $220 billion and said about 10% was used to earn yield in decentralized finance. That share equates to roughly $22 billion. He described the resulting exposure to protocol and collateral risks, then argued that asset-backed finance could provide stablecoin issuers and holders with a comparatively safer yield source.

The safer-yield argument is comparative, not a guarantee, and the interview supplied no default, loss or liquidity data. Domingo also estimated the asset-backed finance market at $6 trillion, about 27 times the stablecoin market he cited. Neither estimate included a methodology, so the figures establish scale as Domingo sees it, not the volume RiverOne can realistically source or lend.

Takeaway: The market estimates support a large theoretical opportunity, not a demonstrated lending book.

What has not been established?

The interview did not identify the full list of more than 70 assets, the blockchain, the token standard or the market makers. It also disclosed no Securities and Exchange Commission review or approval, transaction price or closing date. Those omissions matter because corporate actions, liquidity and loan underwriting each require operating evidence beyond product descriptions.

Takeaway: The next milestone is a published launch date, a complete asset list and evidence that corporate actions and loan tokenization work as described.
