Securitize Fund Services Collaborates with Upshift
Securitize Fund Services (SFS), a key player in the digital asset fund administration landscape, has announced an important partnership with Upshift, a leading onchain yield platform. This collaboration marks a significant enhancement in the way institutional-grade reporting is provided for onchain vaults, a space that has seen increasing usage among investors and fund managers alike.
This partnership signifies the introduction of sophisticated institutional fund administration tools to onchain vaults, allowing for independent reporting, allocation tracking, and greater performance transparency. As part of this initiative, SFS will deliver comprehensive performance reporting and transparency for both curators and depositors using Upshift's platform. Investors can expect not only audit-ready data but also full reconciliation of intricate onchain activities.
The collaboration integrates Securitize's Vault Registrar architecture, which enables customized vaults bound to specific identities and investors. By adding a robust fund administration layer, Securitize is set to independently verify performance and ownership at the individual investor level, thereby elevating standards for reporting and transparency in this growing sector.
Mikhail Davidyan, Head of Fund Services at Securitize, underscored the necessity of independent reporting in fostering trust among institutional investors. He stated, "Onchain vaults are being treated like traditional funds but lack standardized reconciliation and reporting metrics. This gap presents a challenge for institutional capital. By introducing a reliable third-party layer, we can provide a clear picture of performance and allocation, ultimately attracting more professional investors into the fold."
Aya Kantarovich, Co-founder of Upshift, emphasized that curated vaults have surged in popularity as mechanisms for deploying capital onchain. However, the lack of institutional-level reporting infrastructures has been a barrier for larger, regulated entities to enter this innovative space. "Working alongside Securitize Fund Services empowers allocators with the independent visibility and reporting confidence necessary to meet regulatory demands, all while maintaining the efficiency that vaults offer," she noted.
This innovative move reflects the broader trend in digital asset management toward greater transparency and accountability, which is essential as institutional interest in blockchain-based investments continues to grow. It comes at a time when Securitize itself is gearing up for an anticipated business combination with Cantor Equity Partners II, Inc., aimed at enhancing its capabilities and reach in the digital asset space.
