Securitize Set for NYSE Debut Following Cantor Merger Approval
Tokenization infrastructure leader Securitize will officially begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on July 2, 2026, after receiving shareholder approval for its merger with Cantor Equity Partners II (CEPT). The milestone marks a major step for the company as it expands its presence in the rapidly growing digital asset and tokenization market.
Shareholders Approve Securitize-Cantor Merger
Securitize confirmed that shareholders of Cantor Equity Partners II approved the proposed business combination. The transaction is expected to close on July 1, allowing the merged company to begin trading the following day.
After the merger is finalized, the company will operate as Securitize Corp. Its common stock will trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “SECZ.”
Company Raises Nearly $400 Million
The merger is expected to provide Securitize with approximately $400 million in funding. The capital includes proceeds from the SPAC trust and a previously announced $225 million oversubscribed private investment in public equity (PIPE).
The company also revealed that fewer than 30% of CEPT shareholders redeemed their shares. As a result, more than 71% of the SPAC trust remained available to support the transaction.
CEO Highlights Next Growth Phase
Securitize Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Carlos Domingo said becoming a publicly traded company will strengthen the firm’s position in the tokenization industry.
According to Domingo, the public listing will provide greater visibility, stronger credibility, and additional capital to support the company’s long-term expansion.
Securitize Strengthens Leadership in Tokenization
Securitize has established itself as one of the world’s leading tokenization infrastructure providers. The company manages BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized money market fund, which now holds more than $3 billion in total value locked.
The firm also partners with several major financial institutions, including Apollo, KKR, Hamilton Lane, and VanEck, helping expand the adoption of tokenized real-world assets.
Analysts Remain Bullish on Securitize
Earlier this month, Benchmark Equity Research reaffirmed its Buy rating on Securitize. The firm also maintained a $16 price target, citing Securitize’s regulatory approvals across the United States and Europe as a key competitive advantage.
Analysts believe the company’s regulatory framework positions it well to benefit from increasing institutional demand for tokenized assets.
Tokenization Market Continues Rapid Expansion
The real-world asset (RWA) tokenization market has experienced strong growth over the past year. Industry data shows that the combined value locked across the top 15 tokenization protocols increased from $9.55 billion to $21.84 billion, representing 128% annual growth.
As institutional interest continues to rise, companies like Securitize are expected to play a leading role in bringing traditional financial assets onto blockchain networks.
Conclusion
Securitize’s upcoming NYSE debut represents a significant milestone for both the company and the broader tokenization industry. Backed by fresh capital, strong institutional partnerships, and growing market demand, Securitize is well-positioned to expand its leadership in the rapidly evolving digital asset sector.
