Securitize stock jumps 12% on Q3 beat and River One acquisition deal

Securitize's NYSE-listed shares rose 12.20% in after-hours trading Monday, climbing from $6.97 to $7.82, after the tokenization firm reported third-quarter results and a definitive agreement to acquire credit infrastructure company River One.

The company reported Q3 revenue of $18.6 million, up 13% year over year — a reversal from the second quarter, when revenue declined 5% year over year to $14.4 million. Securitize posted a net loss of $66.3 million, or $0.41 per diluted share. The company said roughly 90% of that loss came primarily from non-cash expenses and accounting changes tied to its business combination and public listing, not from operating deterioration.

Average tokenized assets on the platform reached $5 billion, up 39% from a year ago and an internal record. Securitize's board of directors also authorized a $50 million share repurchase program, signaling management's view that the stock trades below intrinsic value despite the headline loss.

What does the River One deal change?

The acquisition, announced the same day as the results, targets a new business line rather than incremental growth in tokenization. River One builds technology that connects stablecoin capital with traditional lending markets. Securitize expects the deal to add a financing layer on top of its existing tokenized asset offerings, letting institutional clients post tokenized assets as collateral and borrow against them through one integrated platform.

"By combining Securitize's tokenization infrastructure with River One's warehouse financing technology, the companies aim to enable institutions to bring financial assets onchain and access financing against those assets through an integrated platform," Securitize wrote in a press release. The company said the transaction opens entry into the $6 trillion global private asset-backed finance market.

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter.

River One, founded in 2025, was incubated by Framework Ventures and counts both Framework Ventures and Maple Finance among its backers. The firm specializes in warehouse financing secured by portfolios of income-generating assets, including loans, receivables and other collateral.

How does stablecoin capital reach traditional borrowers?

River One's operating model routes stablecoin capital from crypto-native liquidity providers into conventional credit facilities. In practice, stablecoins fund the facilities on the back end while borrowers draw and repay in ordinary dollars, leaving the blockchain layer mostly invisible to end borrowers.

The design aims to preserve traditional credit underwriting standards and legal protections while using blockchain rails to improve financing efficiency — effectively converting stablecoin liquidity into a funding source for off-chain lending without exposing borrowers to crypto operations.

What does it mean for Securitize's business?

CEO Carlos Domingo framed the deal as a shift from infrastructure services toward capital-markets participation. "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," Domingo said. "This opens up a significant new addressable market for Securitize, with opportunities for higher-value services, additional revenue streams and greater monetization across our platform."

The deal gives Securitize exposure to lending economics — origination, servicing and spread income — rather than fees alone from issuing and administering tokenized products. For a company still posting nine-figure net losses, even if mostly non-cash, the question now shifts to execution.

Investors will watch the Q4 closing of the River One transaction and the rollout of the first integrated tokenization-plus-lending facilities as the earliest test of whether the $6 trillion market translates into revenue.
