Securitize and MG Stover: How This New Partnership Plans to Dominate the RWA Sector

On April 16, 2025, Securitize announced a game-changing acquisition: the fund management business of MG Stover, a respected name in fund administration. 

This strategic move catapults Securitize into the spotlight of the Real-World Asset (RWA) sector, with a portfolio now managing $38 billion across 715 funds. In doing so, Securitize has made a bold statement—it's not just participating in the RWA revolution, it plans to lead it.

Securitize Acquires MG Stover’s Fund Management Business

Securitize's acquisition of MG Stover marks a significant milestone in the evolution of blockchain-powered finance. MG Stover, known for its institutional fund administration expertise, brings a strong operational backbone to the table. 

This acquisition enhances Securitize Fund Services (SFS), a subsidiary focused on delivering institutional-grade services, from token issuance to fund administration and brokerage.

The acquisition includes notable portfolios such as BlackRock’s $2.45 billion tokenized U.S. Treasury bond fund, cementing Securitize’s position as a top-tier player in digital asset management.

Carlos Domingo, CEO of Securitize, highlighted the deal’s strategic value:

“Securitize’s acquisition of MG Stover’s Fund Administration business cements our role as the most comprehensive platform for institutional-grade real-world asset tokenization and fund administration.”

A Broader Institutional Push into Tokenization

The integration of MG Stover aligns perfectly with the global shift toward tokenized financial instruments. 

As institutional players like BlackRock and Fidelity warm up to blockchain’s potential, platforms like Securitize are enabling this transformation by offering traditional fund services through decentralized rails.

Securitize now provides:

• Institutional fund administration
  
   
• Tokenized asset management
  
   
• Digital issuance platforms
  
   
• Brokerage and compliance services

These capabilities position Securitize as an all-in-one solution for institutions looking to tokenize assets, streamline operations, and enter digital markets with full regulatory compliance.

The Market Opportunity: RWA Tokenization is Just Getting Started

According to a report by BCG and Ripple, the tokenized asset market could grow to a staggering $18 trillion by 2033. This figure underlines the monumental potential for platforms that can bridge traditional finance with blockchain.

Securitize’s $38 billion asset base is just a drop in the bucket compared to this projection, suggesting immense growth potential in the coming years. With MG Stover’s infrastructure and institutional trust, Securitize is now poised to capture a significant portion of this future market.

Tokenized Treasury Funds: Leading with BlackRock

Among the most talked-about components of the acquisition is the management of BlackRock’s tokenized U.S. Treasury fund, a pioneering initiative that has become a benchmark for other institutional tokenization efforts.

This fund represents a powerful proof-of-concept: that secure, transparent, and efficient management of government bonds on blockchain is not only possible but practical. 

With over $2.45 billion in AUM, this product demonstrates investor confidence in tokenized assets when backed by strong governance and operational expertise—precisely what the Securitize–MG Stover alliance delivers.

Navigating Regulation & Market Volatility

As tokenization moves forward, one major challenge is regulatory uncertainty. Coincu’s research suggests that while tokenization accelerates, global financial regulators are still crafting frameworks to govern these new digital instruments.

Additionally, blockchain-based assets still face volatility risks, as shown by projects like DFOhub (BUIDL). Despite a 17.62% gain over seven days, it faced a 0.72% drop in 24 hours, highlighting the fragile nature of nascent token markets.

Securitize’s institutional approach—backed by regulatory rigor and compliance-first strategies—helps mitigate these risks. 

By providing a regulated path into tokenized RWAs, Securitize can attract conservative capital that was previously hesitant to enter the blockchain space.

What’s Next: Securitize’s Roadmap for RWA Domination

With the MG Stover acquisition, Securitize has made its ambition clear: to become the leading RWA platform globally.

Key areas of focus include:

• Expanding partnerships with major asset managers
  
   
• Launching new tokenized fund products
  
   
• Enhancing cross-chain interoperability
  
   
• Strengthening on-chain compliance infrastructure

Securitize’s multi-pronged strategy positions it as a key enabler in the blockchain-finance convergence.

Conclusion

The acquisition of MG Stover by Securitize is more than just a business deal—it's a strategic pivot for the entire RWA sector. 

By combining traditional fund administration expertise with blockchain innovation, Securitize is now uniquely positioned to lead the tokenization of real-world assets.

As institutions demand secure, compliant, and efficient access to digital assets, this new partnership is primed to meet that demand at scale. Expect Securitize and MG Stover to play a central role in defining the next generation of financial infrastructure.
