Verb[edit]
securitize (third-person singular simple present securitizes, present participle securitizing, simple past and past participle securitized)

- 2020, Katharina Pistor, “4: Minting Debt”, in The Code of Capital […] , Princeton University Press, →ISBN:
- Once the private sector had discovered securitization, it securitized any claim imaginable, from residential mortgages to receivables for products and services from cars to credit cards and student loans; the original policy goal of lowering the costs of credit for homeowners gave away to minting as much private money (or debt) as investors demanded.
