Securitize is preparing to make its public market debut after shareholders of Cantor Equity Partners II approved the company’s proposed SPAC merger. The approval clears one of the final regulatory hurdles before Securitize is expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on July 2.
The business combination is expected to close on July 1, subject to customary closing conditions. Once completed, the combined company will operate as Securitize Corp. and trade under the ticker SECZ.
A $400 Million Public Market Entry
The transaction is expected to generate approximately $400 million in gross proceeds before expenses, including funding from an oversubscribed private investment in public equity (PIPE) round.
Securitize also revealed that fewer than 30% of Cantor Equity Partners II shareholders chose to redeem their shares, allowing the company to retain more than 71% of the SPAC trust.
The merger values Securitize at approximately $1.25 billion, highlighting growing investor confidence in blockchain-powered financial infrastructure.
Riding the Growth of Tokenized Assets
Securitize has become one of the leading providers of tokenization infrastructure, helping traditional financial institutions issue and manage tokenized securities and investment funds.
The company works with several major asset managers, including:
- BlackRock
- Apollo
- KKR
- Hamilton Lane
- VanEck
It also manages BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized money market fund, one of the largest tokenized U.S. Treasury products currently available.
Strong Growth Before Going Public
The company’s expansion comes amid rapidly growing interest in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.
Earlier this year, Securitize reported approximately $1.9 billion in transaction volume during the first quarter of 2026. The company has also continued expanding its product offerings beyond money market funds.
One recent initiative includes supporting Ethena Labs’ planned allocation into Securitize’s tokenized AAA-rated collateralized loan obligation (CLO) fund, which recently expanded onto the Solana blockchain.
Public Markets Will Test Investor Appetite
Securitize’s public listing arrives as traditional financial institutions increasingly explore blockchain-based investment products.
With asset tokenization becoming one of the fastest-growing areas in digital finance, investors will closely watch how the public market values infrastructure companies supporting this emerging sector.
The NYSE debut could serve as another important milestone for the tokenization industry as regulated blockchain-based financial products continue gaining traction among institutional investors.
