Securitize to List on NYSE After Completing Cantor SPAC Merger

New updates have been reported about Securitize.

Securitize has completed its previously announced business combination with Cantor Equity Partners II, Inc., positioning the tokenization specialist to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ on July 2, 2026. The move transitions Securitize into a public company, providing it with broader capital markets access to scale its onchain securities infrastructure, which already supports more than $4 billion in tokenized real-world assets.

Management frames the listing as a strategic step to solidify Securitize’s role as a regulated, institutional-grade platform for tokenized securities across both the U.S. and EU, building on collaborations with the NYSE, Computershare, Continental, and major asset managers including BlackRock. As a public company, Securitize plans to invest further in issuance, management, and trading infrastructure for tokenized securities, expand its footprint in regulated markets, and deepen ties with financial institutions, while leveraging its broker-dealer, ATS, transfer agent, fund administration, and EU DLT Pilot authorizations; executives will mark the listing by ringing the NYSE Closing Bell on July 6, 2026.

Securitize’s public debut comes as institutional interest in tokenization continues to grow, and the company emphasizes that its long-standing strategy has been to build within existing regulatory frameworks to drive institutional adoption. The firm’s U.S. operations span a registered broker-dealer and ATS, an SEC-registered transfer agent, and an exempt reporting adviser, while its European unit operates a Trading & Settlement System under the EU DLT Pilot Regime, making it, according to the company, uniquely licensed to run regulated digital-securities infrastructure across both jurisdictions.

Advisory support for the transaction underscores the deal’s capital markets significance: Citigroup Global Markets advised Securitize and, alongside Cantor Fitzgerald, acted as co-placement agent for the PIPE financing, while Davis Polk & Wardwell served as Securitize’s legal counsel. The company cautions that forward-looking statements related to its growth strategy, regulatory environment, and tokenization market opportunity remain subject to risks including regulatory shifts, competition, and market volatility, as disclosed in filings with the SEC.

CEO Carlos Domingo describes the listing as both a validation of Securitize’s regulatory-first approach and a means to accelerate the build-out of trusted infrastructure for tokenized capital markets, arguing that institutional adoption will depend on reliability and compliance rather than enthusiasm alone. Securitize’s recognition as a 2026 Forbes Top 50 Fintech company and its partnerships with leading asset managers such as Apollo, BlackRock, BNY, Hamilton Lane, KKR, and VanEck support its thesis that tokenization is evolving from an emerging technology into core capital markets infrastructure.

Looking ahead, Securitize intends to leverage its NYSE listing and expanded investor base to support larger, more complex tokenization projects for public companies and financial institutions, including tokenized funds and other real-world asset structures. The firm positions itself as a key beneficiary of the structural shift toward onchain capital markets, while acknowledging that sustained execution will depend on navigating regulatory developments, managing competitive pressures, and maintaining institutional trust in both U.S. and European markets.
