Securitize reported first‑quarter results with average tokenized assets under management at $4.3 billion, up 16 % year over year, and transaction volume at $5.3 billion, up 147 %. Revenue fell 5 % to $14.4 million, tokenization revenue dropped 12 % to $7.8 million, and adjusted EBITDA turned to a $5.5 million loss. The company added more assets to the blockchain and processed substantially higher activity than a year earlier, yet revenue declined. CFO Francisco Flores said on the earnings call that asset‑based revenue is not material and that only a small fraction of transaction volume is currently monetized. He noted that recurring asset‑servicing fees rose 3 % to $6.6 million, while transaction‑based revenue remains limited. Edwin Mata, CEO of Brickken, said the results illustrate a structural issue across the tokenization industry. He explained that each new issuance typically requires bespoke integration, jurisdiction‑specific setup and professional services, creating project‑based revenue rather than recurring streams. Mata argued that long‑term revenue will depend on infrastructure that manages assets over time, similar to enterprise software, rather than on one‑off implementation fees. Utkarsh Ahuja, founder and managing partner at Moon Pursuit Capital, described the figures as a reality check because adoption and monetization are not synchronized. He said investors will focus on revenue quality, retention, margins and the economics of servicing assets as institutional capital increases. Securitize’s pre‑listing projection targeted $110 million of revenue and $32 million of EBITDA for 2026, with about $85 million expected to be recurring. Management now forecasts full‑year revenue between $70 million and $80 million, requiring roughly $18 million to $23 million per quarter in the second half. Reaching the original $110 million target would need quarterly revenue above $38 million, more than double the second‑quarter level. The next test for tokenization platforms is whether additional billions of dollars in assets or transaction volume can translate into self‑sustaining, recurring revenue beyond project‑based fees.
