Securitize Nears Public Listing as SEC Clears Merger Filing

• SEC clears Securitize merger filing ahead of June shareholder vote.
• Tokenization firm manages $4 billion assets and 650 funds.
• NYSE partnership, BlackRock backing, and strong volumes support growth.

Securitize has moved a step closer to becoming a publicly traded company after receiving a key regulatory approval tied to its planned merger with Cantor Equity Partners II. The development places one of the largest tokenization firms on track for a stock market debut as interest in blockchain-based financial infrastructure continues to grow among major institutions.

The company announced on Friday that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission declared its S-4 Registration Statement effective. Consequently, shareholders of Cantor Equity Partners II will vote on the proposed merger during a special meeting scheduled for June 29. If shareholders approve the transaction and other closing conditions are satisfied, the deal is expected to close shortly after the meeting. Following completion, the combined entity will operate as Securitize Corp. and trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol SECZ.

The milestone arrives as tokenization gains wider acceptance across traditional finance. Major asset managers and financial institutions have increasingly explored blockchain technology to represent real-world assets in digital form. As a result, companies providing tokenization infrastructure have attracted growing attention from investors and market participants.

Carlos Domingo, chief executive officer of Securitize, described the SEC approval as an important step for both the company and the broader tokenization sector. He said a public listing would help Securitize expand its infrastructure globally as tokenized assets become more integrated into financial markets.

Cantor Equity Partners II is a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald. The financial services firm maintains close ties to current U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Meanwhile, Securitize has established itself as a major participant in the tokenized asset market. The company oversees more than $4 billion in tokenized assets and works with institutions including BlackRock, Apollo, KKR, Hamilton Lane and VanEck.

Additionally, Securitize provides services to roughly 650 investment funds through its Securitize Fund Services division. That scale has positioned the company among the most active firms connecting traditional finance with blockchain-based infrastructure.

Recent initiatives further highlight its expansion strategy. In recent months, Securitize announced a partnership with the New York Stock Exchange to develop a tokenized equities trading platform. Moreover, it partnered with Computershare to support issuer-sponsored tokenized shares and related products. The company has also continued to post significant business activity. During the first quarter of the year, Securitize reported $1.9 billion in transaction volume. Earlier, the firm secured $47 million in strategic funding during a 2024 investment round led by BlackRock.

The upcoming June 29 shareholder vote represents a major test for Securitize’s public market ambitions. If approved, the merger would create one of the first large-scale tokenization companies listed on a major U.S. exchange, potentially increasing visibility for the rapidly expanding digital asset sector.
