Anchorage Digital Acquires Securitize For Advisors, Bringing RIA Crypto Platform In-House

The purchase consolidates a partnership under which Anchorage already custodied 99% of the platform’s assets.

Overview

Anchorage will operate the advisor-focused platform within its federally regulated bank after the deal closed on Dec. 15, with financial terms undisclosed.
The acquisition integrates trading, custody, and client-facing tools into a single platform tailored for registered investment advisors.
CEO Nathan McCauley said RIAs are a key driver of crypto adoption and that combining Anchorage’s regulated custody with SFA’s technology creates a premier solution for wealth managers.
Securitize said divesting the unit lets it concentrate on tokenization of real-world assets, with SFA launched in 2021 to help advisors offer digital asset exposure.
Company-reported metrics show SFA’s net new deposits and assets under management grew by over 4,500% in the past year; this is Anchorage’s second 2025 acquisition after buying stablecoin issuer Mountain Protocol in May.
