A major tokenization platform is heading to public markets this week. Securitize revealed on Monday that the Cantor Equity Partners II shareholder vote resulted in approval of their combination.

Securitize

With the shareholder vote completed, the transaction moves toward finalization. According to Securitize’s announcement, Wednesday marks the expected closing date.

Public trading will commence Thursday on the NYSE. The merged organization will maintain the Securitize Corp. identity.

Investors can purchase shares using ticker symbol SECZ. Cantor Equity Partners II stock climbed up to 20% in Monday’s market session.

Financial Structure of the Transaction

The SPAC combination delivered approximately $400 million in proceeds to Securitize. This capital came from both the special purpose acquisition company’s trust account and additional private financing.

Redemptions among Cantor shareholders remained below 30%. As a result, Securitize retained over 71% of available trust capital.

A $225 million private investment in public equity (PIPE) round exceeded subscription targets. Management indicated these resources will fuel expansion initiatives.

Carlos Domingo, who co-founded Securitize and serves as CEO, emphasized that public company status enhances market presence and access to capital. He noted this positioning advances the firm’s tokenization mission into its next development stage.

The Company’s Tokenization Business Model

Launched in 2017, Securitize develops technology infrastructure enabling tokenization. The process converts conventional financial instruments—including investment funds and fixed-income securities—into blockchain-based digital representations.

The platform serves multiple prominent asset management firms. Its client roster features BlackRock, Apollo, KKR, Hamilton Lane, and VanEck.

Securitize operates BlackRock’s digital money market fund called BUIDL. This tokenized product has accumulated over $3 billion in assets under management.

Both BlackRock and ARK Invest hold equity positions in Securitize. The company maintains regulatory authorizations throughout U.S. and European jurisdictions.

Benchmark Equity Research reaffirmed its “Buy” recommendation on Securitize earlier in July. The research firm established a $16 price objective, highlighting the company’s regulatory compliance framework as a competitive advantage.

Tokenization markets have experienced rapid expansion recently. The Block’s analytics show the leading 15 real-world asset tokenization protocols increased from $9.55 billion to $21.84 billion in total value locked—representing 128% growth.

Market forecasts suggest substantial future development. Citi’s analysis projects tokenized assets may reach $5.5 trillion by the decade’s end. Standard Chartered’s estimates place the market at $2 trillion by 2028.

The NYSE listing provides public investors with direct exposure to a pure-play tokenization infrastructure company. Securitize’s trading debut is scheduled for Thursday, July 2.
