Catenaa, Thursday, October 29, 2025- Tokenization platform Securitize announced plans to go public through a merger with Cantor Fitzgerald’s SPAC, Cantor Equity Partners II, valuing the company at $1.25 billion, reports said.
The listing will be on Nasdaq under the ticker “SECZ,” and the firm intends to tokenize its own equity to allow trading and transfer on blockchain networks.
Existing investors, including ARK Invest, BlackRock, and Morgan Stanley Investment Management, will maintain their stakes.
The deal includes a $225 million private investment in public equity (PIPE) round led by Arche, ParaFi Capital, and other institutional investors.
Securitize is among the largest issuers of tokenized assets in the US, facilitating over $4.5 billion in on-chain securities.
Its platform supports major institutional players such as BlackRock, Apollo, and VanEck, digitizing private equity shares, credit products, and real estate on blockchain networks.
The merger would make Securitize the first US public company offering end-to-end tokenization infrastructure for securities.
Cantor Fitzgerald’s SPAC units fell 6.5% in premarket trading following the announcement. Analysts said the move signals growing institutional adoption of blockchain technology and tokenized finance.
Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo said the SPAC merger will strengthen the firm’s regulatory position and provide capital for expansion.
The platform’s tokenized equity model aims to provide investors with faster, more transparent access to digital securities, bridging traditional finance and blockchain innovation.
The company’s public listing is expected to boost visibility for tokenized assets and may encourage other US fintech and blockchain firms to explore similar strategies.
