Securitize and Cantor Equity Partners II: Major Steps Towards Public Listing

In an important development for both Securitize, Inc. and Cantor Equity Partners II, Inc., the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has declared the Registration Statement on Form S-4 effective. This declaration is a pivotal milestone for Securitize as it approaches the final stages of a proposed business combination with Cantor Equity Partners II, a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company (SPAC).

The registration statement, which has been amended, supports the planned merger aimed at propelling Securitize into the public domain. This proposed transaction will be presented to shareholders of Cantor Equity Partners on June 29, 2026, with the expectation that, contingent upon the approval, the deal will close shortly thereafter.

After the successful closure of this merger, the newly-formed entity will operate under the name Securitize Corp., with shares projected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “SECZ.” This transition aims to enhance Securitize’s visibility and operational capacity significantly. According to Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize, this marks a decisive milestone that could advance the broader acceptance of asset tokenization across financial markets.

For years, Securitize has been laying the groundwork for a robust regulated infrastructure designed to support capital markets integrated with blockchain technology. Through collaborations with some of the world's foremost financial institutions, Securitize aims to facilitate the adoption of tokenization in mainstream finance.

Continued Expansion and Collaboration

Since the announcement regarding the business combination, Securitize has not remained idle; the company has further solidified its position as a premier provider of regulated tokenization infrastructure tailored for institutional capital markets. Some noteworthy collaborations include:

• - A strategic alliance with the New York Stock Exchange centered on developing tokenized securities infrastructure and establishing digital transfer-agent standards.
• - A partnership with Computershare, which focuses on introducing issuer-sponsored tokenized shares designed for U.S. issuers.
• - Collaboration with notable trading firms like Jump Trading and Jupiter to bolster regulated tokenized securities trading infrastructure.
• - Expanding its offerings of tokenized investment products through partnerships with prestigious asset managers, such as BlackRock and KKR, and continuing to grow its existing relationship with BlackRock through the launch of a new tokenized fund.

These partnerships illustrate Securitize's commitment to extending its regulated infrastructure stack, which encompasses not only broker-dealer services but also fund administration and trading system operations across both the United States and Europe.

About Securitize

Securitize stands as a frontrunner in the realm of tokenizing real-world assets, boasting over $4 billion in assets under management as of April 2026. The company collaborates with top-tier asset managers, integrating capital markets with blockchain technology, thereby bringing significant assets onchain.

In the context of U.S. regulation, Securitize operates through several affiliates, including Securitize Markets, a registered broker-dealer, and Securitize Transfer Agent, a registered transfer agent. Concurrently, in Europe, Securitize is recognized as the sole entity capable of operating regulated digital-securities infrastructure, thus elevating its status across international domains.

Securitize's ambition is not merely confined to the current expansion. The firm foresees substantial growth in tokenization and digital assets, standing poised to capture emerging opportunities in this evolving market.

Final Thoughts

The movement towards becoming a publicly traded entity signals a new phase for Securitize and could reshape the landscape of financial markets by harnessing the potential of tokenization. Stakeholders will closely monitor the upcoming special meeting on June 29, which will be critical to the completion of this significant merger. This venture not only emphasizes the increasing trend toward embracing tokenization but also underlines the critical adoption needed to drive liquidity and efficiency in capital markets.
