Securitize to Debut on NYSE After Merger Approval
The tokenization infrastructure provider is set to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange as institutional adoption of real-world assets continues to accelerate.
Securitize is preparing to become one of the first dedicated tokenization infrastructure companies to trade on a major U.S. stock exchange after receiving final shareholder approval for its merger with Cantor Equity Partners II (CEPT).
The company announced on June 30 that CEPT shareholders approved the proposed business combination, clearing the way for the transaction to close on July 1. The combined entity is expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on July 2 under the ticker SECZ, marking a milestone for the rapidly expanding real-world asset (RWA) tokenization industry.
Public Listing Marks a Milestone for Tokenization
Following the completion of the merger, the business will operate as Securitize Corp., gaining access to public markets at a time when institutional interest in blockchain-based financial infrastructure continues to grow.
The listing follows a financing package of approximately $400 million, which Securitize disclosed last week. The capital includes a previously announced oversubscribed $225 million private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing, while fewer than 30% of CEPT shareholders redeemed their shares, allowing the transaction to retain more than 71% of the SPAC trust.
According to the company, the combination of retained trust capital and private investment provides significant financial resources to support future expansion.
“Today, tokenization is moving into the mainstream, and we believe becoming a public company gives us the visibility, credibility, and capital to lead that next phase of growth.”
— Carlos Domingo, Co-founder and CEO of Securitize
The move reflects a broader shift as blockchain infrastructure companies increasingly seek traditional capital markets to finance growth while serving institutional investors.
A Key Player in the Tokenized Assets Market
Securitize has emerged as one of the world’s leading providers of tokenization infrastructure, offering technology that enables traditional financial assets to be issued, managed, and transferred on blockchain networks under existing regulatory frameworks.
The company has established partnerships with several major asset managers, including:
- BlackRock
- Apollo
- KKR
- Hamilton Lane
- VanEck
Among its most prominent mandates is managing BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized money market fund, which has grown to more than $3 billion in total value locked (TVL).
Unlike cryptocurrency exchanges or token issuers, Securitize focuses on the underlying infrastructure that allows regulated investment products—including funds, private securities, and other financial instruments—to operate on blockchain technology.
Analysts Point to Regulatory Advantage
Investor confidence has also been supported by Securitize’s regulatory footprint.
Earlier this month, Benchmark Equity Research reaffirmed its “Buy” rating on the company, highlighting its collection of regulatory licenses across both the United States and Europe as a major competitive advantage within the tokenization sector.
As financial institutions increasingly explore blockchain-based products, regulatory compliance has become an important differentiator for infrastructure providers seeking to onboard traditional asset managers.
Why the Listing Matters for the Crypto Industry
Securitize’s NYSE debut represents more than another SPAC transaction—it signals growing institutional acceptance of tokenization as a core blockchain use case.
Rather than building products centered on cryptocurrency trading, the company enables traditional financial assets to move on-chain in regulated environments. Its public listing demonstrates that investors are increasingly willing to back businesses focused on the infrastructure connecting traditional finance with blockchain technology.
The broader market has been expanding rapidly. According to DefiLlama, the on-chain real-world asset (RWA) market capitalization surpassed $28 billion in 2026, reaching a new all-time milestone as tokenized financial products continue gaining traction.
For the cryptocurrency ecosystem, this trend highlights blockchain’s evolution beyond digital currencies toward supporting mainstream financial markets.
As more institutions tokenize funds, bonds, and other securities, blockchain networks could become an increasingly important layer of global financial infrastructure. Securitize’s transition to a publicly traded company underscores how tokenization is moving from an emerging concept into a growing segment of institutional finance, potentially opening the door for broader adoption of regulated blockchain-based investment products in the years ahead.
