Securitize is leading efforts to onboard global financial institutions onto blockchain networks.
Securitize to List Publicly with $1.25 Billion Valuation
This step joins a growing number of crypto-focused companies pursuing public listings on Wall Street and beyond.
Known for tokenizing assets for firms such as BlackRock and Apollo, Securitize will merge with Cantor Equity Partners II as it pursues a $1.25 billion listing.
Cantor Equity Partners II is a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) sponsored by Cantor Fitzgerald.
The transaction is expected to generate up to $469 million in gross proceeds, including a $225 million upsized committed PIPE (private investment in public equity) round.
This capital injection will strengthen Securitize’s ability to scale operations and advance its mission to make capital markets more accessible and efficient through tokenization.

Securitize Solidifies Its Industry Leadership
Going public reinforces Securitize’s position as a leading provider in the tokenization sector.
Having facilitated more than $4 billion in tokenized assets, the platform could attract further institutional attention as a public company.
Securitize offers an integrated ecosystem that connects with major blockchains and traditional financial institutions.
It stands out as the first vertically integrated tokenization provider registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
BlackRock and Apollo are among the firms using Securitize to tokenize funds and other assets.
“This is a pivotal moment for Securitize and for the future of finance,” said Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO of Securitize. “We founded this company to democratize capital markets by making them more accessible, transparent, and efficient through tokenization. This is the next chapter in bringing markets to operate at internet speed, and it advances our mission to bring a new generation of finance on-chain and to tokenize the world.”
The public listing is expected to accelerate tokenization adoption in traditional financial markets. Brandon Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, commented:
“We believe blockchain technology has tremendous potential to transform finance, and our partnership with Securitize underscores our conviction that tokenization will be a foundational force in the next era of capital markets.”
The real-world asset (RWA) tokenization market expanded by 135% over the past year and recently reached an estimated $35 billion in total value.
Analysts at Citi forecast that the tokenized RWA sector could grow to nearly $4 trillion by 2030.
