Securitize Agrees to Acquire Lending Infrastructure Firm River One

Securitize, a NYSE-listed tokenization infrastructure provider, agreed on Nov 10, 2026 to acquire River Credit Labs, which operates as River One. River One, founded in 2025 and incubated by Framework Ventures, builds warehouse financing infrastructure: the credit facilities loan originators use to fund new loans against pledged collateral. Its platform combines AI-assisted origination, facility setup, borrowing-base reporting, collateral monitoring, and funding operations.

The purchase price was not disclosed. Closing is expected in Q4 2026, subject to customary conditions. Securitize had USD 4.8 billion in tokenized assets on its platform at the end of Sep 2026.

The company noted that River One's business and technology are at an early stage.
