Securitize
A SEC-registered transfer agent and broker-dealer — the on-chain issuance partner for BUIDL, several Hamilton Lane funds, and Apollo-affiliated tokens.
Securitize handles KYC/AML, cap-table management, and on-chain transfer-agent functions for tokenised securities. Its transfer-agent registration is the legal mechanism that lets BUIDL units exist as on-chain ERC-20s while remaining inside US securities-law compliance.
