Add us on Google by Estefano Gomez Jun. 5, 2026Securitize moved closer to becoming a publicly traded company after the SEC declared effective the Form S-4 registration statement tied to its proposed merger with Cantor Equity Partners II.
The transaction will go to CEPT shareholders for approval on June 29 and is expected to close shortly after if approved.
The combined company is expected to operate as Securitize Corp. and trade on the NYSE under the ticker SECZ. Cantor Equity Partners II currently trades on Nasdaq under the ticker CEPT.
AdvertisementThe SEC declaration marks a key milestone for one of the largest regulated tokenization firms trying to enter public markets. Securitize said it had more than $4 billion in tokenized real world assets under management as of April 2026, with products tied to major asset managers including BlackRock, Apollo, BNY, Hamilton Lane, KKR, and VanEck.
Securitize operates regulated broker dealer, transfer agent, fund administration, and trading infrastructure in the US and Europe, including an SEC regulated ATS and EU DLT Pilot Regime authorization.
The listing push comes as tokenization gains momentum across traditional finance. Securitize recently announced a collaboration with the New York Stock Exchange to help develop tokenized securities infrastructure and digital transfer agent standards. The partnership is aimed at supporting blockchain based securities issuance and trading while preserving existing investor protections.
Securitize has also partnered with Computershare to support issuer sponsored tokenized shares for US companies. The arrangement is designed to let public issuers offer tokenized equity alongside traditional shares without changing their existing capital structure.
The company has continued expanding its institutional product lineup as well. Its partnership with BlackRock already helped scale BUIDL into one of the largest tokenized Treasury funds in the market, and the firms are planning a second tokenized fund through the BlackRock Daily Reinvestment Stablecoin Reserve Vehicle.
Securitize has also expanded its trading infrastructure through integrations with market participants including Jump Trading and Jupiter, while continuing to support tokenized investment products from Apollo, Hamilton Lane, KKR, and VanEck.
The proposed public listing would give investors direct exposure to the infrastructure layer behind tokenized capital markets, rather than only the funds or assets being tokenized. It also arrives as major exchanges, asset managers, and transfer agents move deeper into blockchain based securities infrastructure.
