Benchmark sets a $16 target price for Securitize and is bullish on the growth potential of the tokenized assets sector

Gate News message, April 10, according to The Block, Benchmark reiterated its bullish view on Securitize (ticker SECZ) in its latest research report, giving it a $16 price target and believing the company will benefit significantly from the tokenized assets wave. Benchmark’s analysis noted that the total market capitalization of companies listed on the NYSE is about $4.4 trillion; if Securitize were to capture just 1 basis point (0.01%) of that share, the size of its platform assets could double from roughly $4.0 billion. Benchmark emphasized that Securitize is not only a tokenization platform, but also has a complete regulatory qualification framework covering broker-dealer, transfer agent, and trading functions, enabling it to earn diverse revenue across the full lifecycle of asset issuance, secondary trading, and custody services. In addition, Securitize has been designated as the digital transfer agent for an NYSE-proposed tokenized securities platform that supports 7×24 trading. Meanwhile, its tokenized U.S. Treasury fund BUIDL, in cooperation with BlackRock, is approaching $3.0 billion in size, indicating rapid growth in the institutional-grade RWA market. However, Benchmark also cautioned that factors such as regulatory uncertainty, fragmented liquidity, and technology risks may still put pressure on its valuation.
