Securitize Is Going Public — Here’s What the NYSE Listing Means for Crypto Investors

TLDR

• The SEC approved Securitize’s Form S-4 registration statement, clearing a key step for its SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners II
• Shareholders vote on the deal June 29; if approved, the company lists on the NYSE as “SECZ”
• Securitize manages $4 billion in assets and posted Q1 revenue of $19.5 million, up 39% year-over-year
• Total tokenized real-world assets on-chain hit a record $32 billion in May, up 220% in 12 months
• Ethereum and layer-2 networks hold over 60% of the tokenization market

Securitize, a real-world asset tokenization platform, has received a key approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission, moving it closer to a public listing on the New York Stock Exchange.

The SEC declared the Form S-4 registration statement effective, filed jointly by Securitize and Cantor Equity Partners II, a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald.

The approval sets the stage for a shareholder vote on June 29. If shareholders approve the deal, the combined company will list on the NYSE under the ticker SECZ.

What Securitize Does

Securitize is currently the largest tokenization platform by market share. It manages $4 billion in assets under management and offers tokenized funds alongside major asset managers including Apollo, BlackRock, BNY, and VanEck.

The company reported first-quarter revenue of $19.5 million, a 39% increase from the same period last year.

In March, the NYSE signed a memorandum of understanding with Securitize. The agreement is part of a wider effort to build blockchain-based stock trading infrastructure for Wall Street.

Tokenized Real-World Assets Reach Record High

The SPAC merger news comes as the tokenized real-world asset market hits new highs.

Total on-chain RWA value reached $32 billion in May, according to RWA.xyz. That figure excludes stablecoins and represents a 220% increase over the previous 12 months.

Nearly half of all tokenized assets on-chain are US Treasuries. Tokenized commodities make up around 16%.

Tokenized stocks remain a smaller slice of the market, accounting for just 4.8%, or roughly $1.5 billion of total on-chain value.

Ethereum and its layer-2 networks lead the tokenization market, holding a combined share of over 60%.

The SEC has also made digital assets a strategic priority through 2030, a move that may benefit tokenization platforms like Securitize going forward.

The shareholder vote on June 29 will be the next key moment for the company. A successful vote would give public investors access to one of the largest tokenization platforms in the world.

Securitize’s public listing would also mark one of the first times a major tokenization firm has traded on a traditional stock exchange.
