Securitize to go public at a $1.25 billion valuation
The transaction adds Securitize to a growing roster of crypto-focused companies listing on public markets in New York and elsewhere.
Known for facilitating tokenized assets for firms such as BlackRock and Apollo, the platform will merge with Cantor Equity Partners II and aims for a $1.25 billion listing.
Cantor Equity Partners is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) sponsored by Cantor Fitzgerald.
The deal is expected to deliver up to $469 million of gross proceeds, including an upsized $225 million committed common stock PIPE (private investment in public equity).
This capital infusion will strengthen Securitize’s ability to expand operations and advance its mission of making capital markets more accessible and efficient through tokenization.

Securitize cements industry leadership
Going public reinforces Securitize’s position as a leader in the tokenization space.
Having facilitated more than $4 billion in tokenized assets, the platform could draw greater attention as a publicly traded company.
Securitize offers a comprehensive ecosystem that integrates with major blockchains and financial institutions, standing out as the first vertically integrated tokenization provider registered with the SEC.
Prominent firms such as BlackRock and Apollo are among those tokenizing funds through Securitize’s platform.
“This is a defining 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 — to make them more accessible, transparent, and efficient through tokenization. This next chapter advances our work to make financial markets operate at internet speed and brings the next generation of on-chain finance closer to reality.”
The public listing is expected to accelerate tokenization adoption across traditional financial markets. Brandon Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, commented:
“We believe blockchain technology has massive 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 135% over the past year, reaching a total value of $35 billion, according to recent data.
Analysts at Citi estimate that the tokenized RWA sector could grow to nearly $4 trillion by 2030.
