Jul 27, 2026

Securitize is rapidly expanding its institutional digital asset infrastructure. The firm's subsidiary, Securitize Capital, registered with the SEC as an investment adviser on July 27, 2026. This follows Securitize's partnership with Uniswap Labs to launch 'Permissioned Pools' on Uniswap v4, enabling compliant, onchain trading of regulated assets. Additionally, South Korea's Hanwha Group has emerged as Securitize's largest shareholder with a 9.6% stake, signaling strong corporate backing as the tokenized asset market eyes trillions in growth by 2030.

Uniswap v4 Permissioned Pools

▪Uniswap Labs launched Permissioned Pools on July 23, 2026, as a new hook standard for Uniswap v4 to enable permissioned asset trading through Automated Market Makers.
▪Uniswap Permissioned Pools use Uniswap v4 hooks to implement logic that checks an issuer-managed allowlist on every swap and liquidity action at the protocol level.

Onchain compliance enforcement

▪The Permissioned Pools design uses Uniswap v4 virtual accounting to perform exchange calculations remotely while permissioned assets remain held in a permissioned contract.
▪Permissioned Pools enforce compliance directly onchain by verifying whether a wallet is approved before allowing a swap or liquidity deposit to proceed.

Tokenized asset market growth

▪Uniswap Labs estimates the tokenized asset market could reach $11 trillion by 2030, while other analysts project the market to reach approximately $5.5 trillion.
▪Asset managers including BlackRock, Apollo, Franklin Templeton, and VanEck have launched tokenized funds as part of broader efforts to bring real-world assets onto blockchains.

Launch partner integrations

▪Dowgo contributed the ERC-3643 integration for Permissioned Pools and plans to use the standard upon receiving DLT TSS authorization under the EU's DLT Pilot Regime.
▪Superstate, Securitize, and Dowgo joined as launch partners for Uniswap Permissioned Pools to bring compliant access to onchain markets.
