Securitize Expands Wall Street Tokenization Push as SEC Clears SPAC Deal
Securitize is a step closer to becoming a publicly traded company after U.S. regulators cleared a key filing tied to its planned merger with Cantor Equity Partners II.
The company said the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) declared effective the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by Securitize Holdings in connection with the proposed business combination. Cantor Equity Partners II, which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker CEPT, is a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald.
The deal will now go to CEPT shareholders for approval. Investors who held shares as of May 11, 2026, will be eligible to vote at a special meeting scheduled for June 29.
If approved, the transaction is expected to close shortly afterward, subject to customary closing conditions. The combined company would operate as Securitize Corp. and is expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ.
Carlos Domingo, Securitize’s co-founder and chief executive officer, said the SEC clearance marks an important milestone for the company and for the broader adoption of tokenized finance. He commented:
Over the past several years, we have built regulated infrastructure designed to bring capital markets onchain in partnership with many of the world’s leading financial institutions. Becoming a public company would position Securitize to continue scaling that infrastructure globally as tokenization increasingly becomes part of mainstream financial markets.
Securitize has become one of the most visible firms in the tokenization market, with more than $4 billion in assets under management as of April 2026. The company provides infrastructure for tokenized real-world assets, including funds and securities issued in partnership with major asset managers.
Securitize Expands Institutional Networks
Since announcing the proposed SPAC transaction, Securitize has expanded several institutional relationships. It announced a collaboration with the New York Stock Exchange focused on tokenized securities infrastructure and digital transfer-agent standards.
The company also partnered with Computershare to introduce issuer-sponsored tokenized shares for U.S. companies. It has been building a regulated trading infrastructure through integrations with firms, including Jump Trading and Jupiter.
Securitize’s tokenized investment products include partnerships with Blackrock, Apollo Global Management, Hamilton Lane, KKR, and Vaneck. Its work with Blackrock has become especially prominent through BUIDL, one of the largest tokenized treasury funds in the market.
The companies are also planning the Blackrock Daily Reinvestment Stablecoin Reserve Vehicle, which would become Blackrock’s second tokenized fund with Securitize.
Securitize has continued to broaden its regulated infrastructure across broker-dealer, transfer-agent, fund-administration, and trading-system operations in the U.S. and Europe. The planned listing comes as tokenization gains momentum across Wall Street. For Securitize, public-market status could provide a larger platform to scale as traditional financial assets move onto blockchain rails.
