- Securitize will become a publicly listed company through a merger with Cantor Equity Partners II.
- The tokenization platform is targeting a $1.25 billion valuation via the SPAC transaction.
- BlackRock is among the leading asset managers using Securitize to bring assets on-chain.
Securitize, a pioneering platform for asset tokenization, has announced plans to go public by merging with Cantor Equity Partners II, valuing the combined company at approximately $1.25 billion.
The platform disclosed the strategic move on October 28, 2025, positioning the transaction as a significant milestone for the tokenization industry.
Securitize has been at the forefront of onboarding global financial institutions onto blockchain networks.
Securitize to List at a $1.25 Billion Valuation
This step will add Securitize to the growing group of crypto- and blockchain-focused firms listing on public markets in the U.S. and beyond.
Known for tokenizing assets for major firms such as BlackRock and Apollo, Securitize will merge with Cantor Equity Partners II with the aim of achieving a $1.25 billion public valuation.
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, which includes an upsized $225 million committed common stock PIPE (private investment in public equity) and approximately $244 million of cash held in CEPT’s trust account, assuming no redemptions.
This capital infusion is expected to strengthen Securitize’s ability to scale its operations and further its mission of making capital markets more accessible and efficient through tokenization.
Following the merger, the combined entity will be renamed Securitize Corp. and is expected to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “SECZ”.
Solidifying Leadership in Tokenization
A successful public listing would reinforce Securitize’s standing as a leader in the tokenization space.
Having facilitated more than $4 billion in tokenized assets, the platform could attract heightened attention as a public company.
Securitize offers an integrated ecosystem that connects major blockchains and financial institutions, distinguishing itself as an SEC-registered, vertically integrated tokenization provider.
BlackRock and Apollo are among the institutional clients that have used Securitize to tokenize funds and other assets.
“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 with a mission to democratize capital markets by making them more accessible, transparent, and efficient through tokenization. This is the next chapter in operating financial markets at internet speed — bringing the next generation of finance on-chain and taking another step toward tokenizing the world.”
Securitize’s public debut is expected to accelerate adoption of tokenization across traditional finance. Brandon Ratner, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, emphasized the strategic case for the deal:
“We believe blockchain technology has transformative potential for finance, and our partnership with Securitize underscores our conviction in tokenization as a foundational force for the next era of capital markets.”
Recent data indicate that the real-world assets (RWA) tokenization market expanded by 135% over the past year, reaching a total market size around $35 billion.
Analysts at Citi estimate that the tokenized RWA sector could grow toward $4 trillion by 2030, reflecting rapid institutional interest and market momentum.
