Securitize is set to acquire River One in Q4 2026, expanding its tokenization infrastructure into the $6 trillion private asset-backed finance market by adding AI-powered warehouse financing capabilities.
Securitize announced a definitive agreement on Nov. 9, 2026 to acquire River Credit Labs (River One), pushing it into the $6 trillion private asset-backed finance market that KKR sees growing to $9.2 trillion by 2029. This expands its addressable market beyond tokenized assets (~$5B AUM as of September 2026) into higher-value lending services. However, no purchase price or financial terms were disclosed, and closing is only expected in Q4 2026 subject to conditions, which limits how much the market can price in.
