Securitize moved closer to a public listing after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission cleared the company's Form S-4 registration statement tied to its merger with Cantor Equity Partners II (CEPT). The SEC clearance enables CEPT shareholders to vote on the proposed business combination at a special meeting scheduled for June 29. The merger would combine Securitize, which manages over $4 billion in tokenized assets as of April 2026, with the Nasdaq-listed SPAC sponsored by Cantor Fitzgerald, positioning the firm to expand its tokenization infrastructure across traditional financial markets.
CEPT Shareholders Vote June 29 on Merger Approval
Investors who held CEPT shares as of May 11, 2026, will be eligible to vote at the special meeting scheduled for June 29. If approved, the transaction is expected to close shortly afterward, subject to customary closing conditions. The combined company would operate as Securitize Corp. and is expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ.
Carlos Domingo, Securitize's co-founder and chief executive officer, said the SEC clearance marks an important milestone for the company and for the broader adoption of tokenized finance. He commented: "Over the past several years, we have built regulated infrastructure designed to bring capital markets onchain in partnership with many of the world's leading financial institutions. Becoming a public company would position Securitize to continue scaling that infrastructure globally as tokenization increasingly becomes part of mainstream financial markets."
Securitize Expands NYSE and Computershare Partnerships
Since announcing the proposed SPAC transaction, Securitize has expanded several institutional relationships. The company announced a collaboration with the New York Stock Exchange focused on tokenized securities infrastructure and digital transfer-agent standards. Securitize also partnered with Computershare to introduce issuer-sponsored tokenized shares for U.S. companies. The firm has been building regulated trading infrastructure through integrations with firms including Jump Trading and Jupiter.
BlackRock BUIDL and Tokenized Treasury Products
Securitize's tokenized investment products include partnerships with BlackRock, Apollo Global Management, Hamilton Lane, KKR, and VanEck. The company's work with BlackRock has become especially prominent through BUIDL, one of the largest tokenized treasury funds in the market. The companies are also planning the BlackRock Daily Reinvestment Stablecoin Reserve Vehicle, which would become BlackRock's second tokenized fund with Securitize.
Securitize has continued to broaden its regulated infrastructure across broker-dealer, transfer-agent, fund-administration, and trading-system operations in the U.S. and Europe.
