Securitize SPAC Deal Targets $400 Million Before NYSE Listing
Securitize expects about $400 million in gross proceeds from its Cantor Equity Partners II merger, with a July 1, 2026 closing and July 2, 2026 NYSE listing still subject to shareholder approval.
Securitize Sets A Public-Market Test For Tokenization
Securitize is moving its tokenization business toward the public markets through a merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, with about $400 million in expected gross proceeds tied to the transaction and related PIPE financing.
The deal is still conditional.
Securitize and CEPT said the business combination is expected to close on July 1, 2026, subject to CEPT shareholder approval at a special meeting on June 29, 2026 and other customary closing conditions.
If completed, the combined company is expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange on July 2, 2026 under the ticker SECZ.
The redemption result gives the transaction more capital than many SPAC deals have retained in recent years.
CEPT retained 71.5% of its trust after the final redemption results, leaving Securitize with a larger expected proceeds figure before transaction-related expenses.
For tokenized real-world assets, the listing would move one of the sector’s main infrastructure providers into a public-company disclosure cycle.
Investors will be able to judge the business against capital raised, asset growth and the operating costs of serving regulated financial products onchain.
The proposed proceeds also give Securitize capital for a business model that depends on compliance-heavy infrastructure rather than only token issuance.
The company’s services span regulated issuance, investor records, fund operations and collateral workflows.
BlackRock-Backed Infrastructure Moves Toward NYSE
Securitize describes itself as a real-world-asset tokenization company with $4B+ AUM as of June 2026.
The company says it works on tokenized funds with asset managers including Apollo, BlackRock, Hamilton Lane, KKR, Mantle, ParaFi Capital, VanEck and others.
The company’s products include issuance, transfer agent, token administration, trading, lending, fund administration and collateral management services.
That list makes the public debut more than a crypto-market listing story.
It puts market-infrastructure functions around tokenized securities in front of public investors.
Carlos Domingo, co-founder and chief executive officer of Securitize, said reaching public markets would give the company visibility, credibility and capital for its next growth phase.
Domingo said the listing plan would support wider institutional use of tokenized securities.
Cantor Equity Partners II is a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company sponsored by an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald.
After the merger, the combined company is expected to operate as Securitize Corp.
The company also names a registered broker-dealer, an alternative trading system and a transfer agent among its affiliates.
Those regulated functions explain why the listing could matter to asset managers that need tokenized products to connect with familiar securities-market processes.
Shareholder Vote Still Controls Timing
The transaction gives tokenization a capital-market milestone, but it is not complete until the shareholder vote and closing conditions are cleared.
The public record still lacks whether CEPT shareholders will approve the deal, whether redemption levels will change the retained trust figure, or whether all merger conditions will clear before SECZ begins trading on the NYSE.
