Anchorage Acquires Securitize Adviser Platform, Targets RIA-Driven Crypto ETF Flows
Anchorage Digital has acquired Securitize For Advisors, bringing an RIA-focused adviser platform fully in-house as it sharpens its push toward institutional adoption. The move allows Anchorage to unify custody, trading, and adviser tools under one roof, simplifying how registered investment advisers access and manage crypto for clients.
The acquisition reflects Anchorage’s view that RIAs will play a central role in the next wave of crypto inflows, especially as spot Bitcoin ETFs lower regulatory and operational barriers. With ETFs aligning crypto exposure to familiar adviser infrastructure, competition to serve RIAs is intensifying.
For Securitize, the deal enables greater focus on its core real-world asset tokenization business as it prepares for a public listing. Overall, the acquisition signals a broader industry shift toward integrated, compliant platforms designed to capture growing RIA-led demand for digital assets.
