Securitize, a leader in digital asset tokenization, announced Tuesday its plans to go public through a $1.25 billion SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners II Inc., a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) advised by Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP. The transaction, advised on Securitize’s side by Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, marks a significant step toward the mainstream adoption of blockchain-based securities.
Under the agreement, the merged entity will operate as Securitize Corp. and trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “SECZ.”
Pioneering the Tokenized Finance Frontier
Founded in 2017, Securitize runs a fully regulated platform for the issuance, trading, and servicing of tokenized securities—digital representations of real-world assets. The company integrates compliance, blockchain infrastructure, and DeFi connectivity to bridge traditional and digital markets.
To date, Securitize has tokenized over $4 billion in assets, collaborating with investment giants including Apollo, BlackRock, KKR, and Hamilton Lane.
“This is a defining moment for Securitize and the future of finance,” said Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO. “We started with a mission to democratize capital markets—this merger is another leap toward making finance move at the speed of the internet.”
