Securitize Eyes NYSE Listing with Cantor Equity Partners II Merger

Securitize is preparing for its public listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) after announcing a merger deal with Cantor Equity Partners II, which is expected to generate around $400 million in gross proceeds. The deal includes PIPE financing and will be finalized pending shareholder approval scheduled for June 29.

The company's CEO, Carlos Domingo, noted that institutional adoption of tokenized securities has changed significantly over the past eight years, with large financial firms now actively integrating blockchain into investment products and market operations.

Securitize is one of the leading infrastructure providers for Wall Street firms entering the digital asset sector, working with institutions such as Apollo, KKR, Hamilton Lane, and VanEck to issue blockchain-based investment products tied to traditional markets. The company has also collaborated with the NYSE on tokenized securities initiatives.

The tokenization sector continues to expand among major financial firms, with blockchain-based real-world assets surpassing $30 billion in value. Projections from Boston Consulting Group and Ripple estimate that the sector could reach $18.9 trillion by 2033 as adoption expands among banks, asset managers, and private equity firms.
