Anchorage Digital has acquired the Securitize For Advisors (SFA) platform to boost its crypto wealth management offering for RIAs. The acquisition brings the RIA-focused digital asset platform in-house, building on an existing custody partnership.  SFA platform integrates trading tools, custody services, and investor-facing features. It has operated on top of Anchorage’s infrastructure since launch. Anchorage already custodied 99% of SFA’s assets before the acquisition. The deal consolidates that relationship into a unified platform.

Anchorage Digital Strengthens Position in Advisor Market

Anchorage Digital co-founder and CEO Nathan McCauley said the deal brings together custody, technology, and wealth expertise. “RIAs are driving one of the most important waves of crypto adoption,” he stated. He added that the integration creates a complete solution for wealth managers and their clients.

The acquisition follows Anchorage Digital’s earlier purchase of Mountain Protocol in May 2025. That deal expanded Anchorage’s presence in the stablecoin segment. The company is now enhancing its advisor-focused services.

SFA has reported rapid growth in the past year. Its assets under management and net new deposits rose by over 4,500%. The broader RIA industry grew at 16% over the same period, according to company data. The deal gives Anchorage a more defined role in wealth management. It now controls a platform purpose-built for advisors seeking crypto exposure. This supports Anchorage’s aim to serve regulated institutions and advisor networks.

Securitize Refocuses on Tokenization

Securitize will now focus exclusively on its tokenization business. The firm plans to allocate more resources to digital asset issuance. It will step away from direct advisor services following the transaction. Carlos Domingo, Securitize co-founder and CEO, said the move aligns with their core mission.

“By joining Anchorage Digital, SFA will now have the resources, focus, and alignment it needs to scale to the next level. For Securitize, this move allows us to double down on our mission of tokenizing capital markets while ensuring the RIA offering we built continues to thrive.” he said.

Tokenization involves converting traditional assets, such as stocks or real estate, into digital tokens on a blockchain. Securitize sees growing demand from issuers and investors. The firm intends to scale its tokenization services after the divestiture. SFA was originally launched in 2021 to bridge advisors and crypto exposure. It will now operate directly within Anchorage’s regulated framework. The transaction closed without the release of financial details.
