Securitize Targets Nasdaq Listing Via $1.25B SPAC Deal

Securitize, one of the world’s largest tokenization platforms, has announced plans to go public through a SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners II at an estimated $1.25 billion valuation. The combined company will trade on Nasdaq under the ticker SECZ.

In a first for U.S. markets, Securitize also plans to tokenize its own equity, allowing shares to be traded and transferred directly on blockchain networks. Existing investors — including ARK Invest, BlackRock, and Morgan Stanley Investment Management — will roll over their full stakes.

The deal features $225 million in PIPE financing led by Arche, ParaFi Capital, and other institutional backers. Securitize is already a major player in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, having issued more than $4.5 billion in onchain securities, per RWA.xyz data.

The listing positions Securitize as the first publicly traded U.S. company offering end-to-end tokenization infrastructure for securities, bridging traditional finance and blockchain technology.
