Securitize has received approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for its S-4 registration, clearing the way for its planned merger with special purpose acquisition company Cantor Equity Partners II. The deal, which is set for a shareholder vote on June 29, would create a new entity named Securitize Corp., expected to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ.
If approved and all conditions are met, the transaction could close shortly after the vote. Cantor Equity Partners II trades under CEPT and is backed by an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald, chaired by U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
path to public markets
The SEC approval marks a significant step for Securitize, transitioning it from a private firm to one approaching a public listing on a major U.S. exchange. The move gives public market participants direct access to a company focused on asset tokenization, a sector that has largely remained within private markets or crypto-native exposures.
The listing is also expected to deepen the connection between blockchain-based financial infrastructure and traditional capital markets, placing Securitize under broader market scrutiny as a publicly traded firm.
business scale and partnerships
Securitize manages about $4 billion in tokenized assets and provides fund services to roughly 650 vehicles. It works with major financial firms including BlackRock, Apollo, KKR, Hamilton Lane, and VanEck.
The company has expanded its footprint through several partnerships, including agreements with the New York Stock Exchange to develop a tokenized equities trading platform and with Computershare for issuer-backed digital securities. It has also been working with technology and liquidity providers to support on-chain financial instruments.
In 2024, Securitize raised $47 million in a strategic funding round led by BlackRock. During the first quarter of 2026, it processed $1.9 billion in transaction volume.
growing tokenization market
The merger comes as the tokenized asset market continues to expand rapidly. A recent Citi report projects the sector could grow from about $17 billion today to as much as $5.5 trillion by 2030.
Tokenized U.S. Treasuries alone have exceeded $14 billion as of May 2026, signaling rising institutional demand for blockchain-based fixed-income products.
Securitize already plays a central role in this segment, providing infrastructure for tokenized funds launched by firms such as BlackRock, KKR, and Apollo. BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, built on Securitize’s platform, has reached approximately $2.5 billion in assets.
market signals and outlook
Attention is now turning to the shareholder vote and trading activity of CEPT, which closed around $12.65 on Friday, within a 52-week range of $10.33 to $14.05. Market pricing of the SPAC is being closely watched as an indicator of sentiment ahead of the merger.
A successful listing under the SECZ ticker could serve as a benchmark for the broader tokenization industry. Traders are expected to track the company’s post-listing performance as a signal of how public markets value infrastructure tied to real-world asset tokenization.
