Tokenization firm Securitize clears key SEC hurdle for NYSE listing
Securitize is closer to going public through a SPAC merger after the SEC approved the Form S-4 for Cantor Equity Partners II and Securitize. Shareholders will vote on June 29; if approved, the merged company will list on the NYSE as Securitize Corp. (SECZ). CEO Carlos Domingo called it a key milestone for institutional tokenization adoption. Securitize manages about $4 billion in assets and partners with firms including Apollo, BlackRock, BNY, and VanEck on tokenized funds. It reported first-quarter revenue of $19.5 million, up 39% year over year. The NYSE also signed an MOU with Securitize in March to explore blockchain-based stock trading infrastructure. More broadly, tokenized real-world assets have surged: onchain RWA value reached a record $32 billion in May, up roughly 220% over 12 months, led by tokenized US Treasuries.
