Securitize Eyes NYSE Debut

SEC Clears Securitize's NYSE Listing Path, Advancing Tokenization Firm's Public Debut

Securitize has cleared a major regulatory hurdle after the SEC declared effective its Form S-4 registration statement tied to a merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, moving the tokenization infrastructure provider closer to a public listing on the NYSE. Cantor Equity Partners II shareholders of record as of May 11 are set to vote on the proposed business combination at a special meeting on June 29, and if approved the combined company would operate as Securitize Corp. and trade under the ticker SECZ. While the SEC action advances the deal, the transaction still depends on shareholder approval and other closing conditions. The merger values Securitize at a $1.25 billion pre-money equity level and includes $225 million in committed PIPE financing, with proceeds potentially increasing depending on redemption activity. Securitize’s pitch centers on regulated, end-to-end securities infrastructure for tokenized assets, including transfer-agent and trading services, and it cites more than $4 billion in tokenized assets through clients such as BlackRock, Apollo, KKR, Hamilton Lane, and VanEck. The coverage also frames the listing as arriving as tokenization gains institutional momentum and regulators develop frameworks for tokenized securities.
