Securitize is at the forefront of bringing global financial institutions on-chain.
Securitize to list with a $1.25 billion valuation
The transaction adds Securitize to a growing group of crypto-focused companies pursuing public listings on Wall Street and elsewhere.
Known for tokenizing assets for institutions including BlackRock and Apollo, Securitize will merge with Cantor Equity Partners II as it targets a $1.25 billion public valuation.
Cantor Equity Partners II is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) sponsored by Cantor Fitzgerald.
The deal is expected to generate up to $469 million in gross proceeds, including a $225 million private investment in public equity (PIPE) round.
This capital infusion will enable Securitize to expand operations and further its mission to make capital markets more accessible and efficient through tokenization.
8/ The deal is expected to deliver $469M of gross proceeds consisting of an upsized $225 million in committed common stock PIPE, anchored by new and existing blue-chip institutional investors, and $244 million of cash held in CEPT’s trust account, assuming no redemptions.

The combined company, which will be renamed Securitize Corp., will list on the Nasdaq under the ticker “SECZ”.
Securitize solidifies industry leadership
The public listing reinforces Securitize’s leadership in tokenization.
Having enabled tokenized assets totaling more than $4 billion, the platform could attract increased attention as a public company.
Securitize offers an integrated ecosystem that connects major blockchains and financial institutions.
It is notable as the first vertically integrated tokenization provider registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Firms such as BlackRock and Apollo have used Securitize to tokenize investment products.
“This is a defining moment for Securitize and for the future of finance,” said Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO of Securitize. “We built this company to democratize capital markets by making them more accessible, transparent, and efficient through tokenization. This is the next chapter in enabling financial markets to operate at internet speed and an important step in our mission to bring the next generation of finance on-chain and tokenize the world.”
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 enormous potential to transform finance, and our partnership with Securitize underscores our confidence in tokenization as a core force in the next era of capital markets.”
The real-world asset (RWA) tokenization market expanded by 135% over the past year and is currently estimated at $35 billion.
Analysts at Citi project the tokenized RWA sector could grow to nearly $4 trillion by 2030.
