Securitize Set to Debut on NYSE After Shareholders Approve Merger With Cantor Equity Partners II

Tokenization infrastructure company Securitize is set to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on July 2 after receiving shareholder approval for its merger with Cantor Equity Partners II (CEPT).

The business combination is expected to close on July 1, after which the merged company will operate as Securitize Corp. and trade under the ticker symbol SECZ.

Merger Raises $400 Million to Support Growth

The merger provides Securitize with approximately $400 million in funding. The company said fewer than 30% of CEPT shareholders redeemed their shares, allowing it to retain more than 71% of the SPAC trust. The total funding also includes an oversubscribed $225 million private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing.

Chief Executive Officer and co-founder Carlos Domingo said becoming a publicly listed company will strengthen Securitize’s visibility, credibility and financial resources as tokenization continues gaining adoption across traditional finance.

Securitize Strengthens Position in Tokenized Assets

Securitize is one of the world’s largest providers of tokenization infrastructure and manages BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized money market fund, which now holds more than $3 billion in total value locked.

The company also works with major financial firms including Apollo, KKR, Hamilton Lane, and VanEck. Earlier this month, Benchmark Equity Research reaffirmed its Buy rating on Securitize with a $16 price target, citing the company’s regulatory licenses across the United States and Europe as a key competitive advantage.

The broader real-world asset (RWA) tokenization sector has also expanded rapidly. The combined value of the 15 largest tokenization protocols has increased 128% over the past year, rising from $9.55 billion to $21.84 billion.
