Highlights

Securitize expects to start trading on the NYSE under the ticker SECZ next week after merging with Cantor Equity Partners II, securing around $400 million in gross proceeds.
Fewer than 30% of CEPT holders redeemed shares, enabling Securitize to retain over 71% of the SPAC trust and access an oversubscribed $225 million PIPE financing.
Securitize is a key infrastructure provider in the $22.5 billion tokenized asset market, servicing BlackRock's $3.1 billion BUIDL fund and earning a $16 price target from Benchmark.

Listing timeline and deal funding

As reported by The Block, Securitize says it expects to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange next week after completing its merger with Cantor Equity Partners II.

In a Friday release, the company says fewer than 30% of CEPT holders choose to redeem their shares, allowing it to retain more than 71% of the SPAC trust. Together with previously arranged PIPE financing, including an oversubscribed $225 million private investment, Securitize expects to secure roughly $400 million in gross proceeds.

The merger is expected to close on Wednesday, with the combined company's shares scheduled to start trading on the NYSE under the ticker SECZ the following day. Co-founder and Chief Executive Carlos Domingo says in a statement that tokenized securities are moving into the mainstream and that a public listing should provide the visibility, credibility, and capital needed for the next growth phase.

Tokenization market momentum

The broader tokenized asset market starts to gain scale in 2025 and continues to expand through the first half of 2026, giving additional context to Securitize's listing plan. Data from The Block covering 15 leading tokenization protocols estimates about $22.5 billion is locked across RWA protocols, slightly below a mid-April peak of more than $24 billion.

Within that market, BlackRock's BUIDL fund, which invests in U.S. Treasuries and is tokenized by Securitize, grows to nearly $3.1 billion. Securitize also works with Apollo, KKR, Hamilton Lane and VanEck, underscoring its position as one of the larger infrastructure providers in the sector.

Earlier this month, equities research firm Benchmark reiterates its Buy rating on the company and sets a $16 price target. The firm argues that Securitize's regulatory licenses across the U.S. and Europe could make it a positive outlier as institutional adoption of tokenized assets accelerates.

In our earlier coverage of the House Financial Services Subcommittee hearing on the modern investment ecosystem, lawmakers examined how the rapid growth of index funds, ETFs, and newer active ETF structures is reshaping retail investing. The discussion focused on whether current market rules still support investor choice, capital formation, and efficient price discovery, alongside trends like falling active-fund costs and expanding product access.
