Securitize, a firm that enables the issuance and management digital securities, announced its tenth on-chain digital asset.
The Curzio Equity Owners's token represents an equity stake in the financial publishing analytics firm Curzio Research's newsletter business.
The Coinbase-backed firm previously tokenized assets in collaboration with Cityblock Capital, Protos, and Lottery.com, among others, to provide ownership opportunities "That people can purchase instead of using traditional non-digital methods," according to a Securitize spokesperson.
To date, Securitize's Ethereum-based protocol holds nearly $200 million spread over 9 on-chain tokenized securities, with an average of 150 investors per asset.
The costs involved in tokenizing an asset include "Securing legal advice, issuance and management platform fees, broker-dealer fees - if a broker-dealer is required for fundraising - and listing fees - if a listing takes place," according to a Securitize representative.
In April, the firm launched the Securitize Ready Program, an advisory network including Coinbase Custody and OpenFinance to assist in issuance, management, and compliance of securities.
In this instance, "Curzio did all the definition and legal work, whilst Securitize did all the technical work to support the process of investor onboarding, as well as issuance and management of the security token, and the preparation of all smart contracts for the digital security," according the representative.
"I'm excited to be an early adopter of digital securities, an industry that's disrupting the traditional high-fee investment banking business model," Curzio CEO Frank Curzio said in a statement.
In the past quarter Securitize forged partnerships with 17 companies to securitize their assets, with details forthcoming.
43 companies - including industry names like BitGo, Coinbase, and tZero - use the company's technology to meet compliance requirements or manage their tokens through the proprietary application Securitize Ready.
