Securitize public listing plans advanced after the SEC cleared a registration filing linked to its merger with Cantor Equity Partners II. The decision moves the tokenized securities firm closer to Wall Street. A shareholder vote is now required for completion.
The SEC has declared effective the Form S-4 registration statement for the proposed business combination of Securitize and Cantor Equity Partners II. The filing was made by Securitize Holdings in support of its public listing on Securitize. Cantor Equity Partners II is a SPAC backed by an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald.

Securitize Public Listing Still Needs Final Approval
The clearance marks a regulatory step in the Securitize public listing process. It does not complete the transaction. The combination will require the approval of CEPT shareholders and other customary closing conditions.
The announcement states that CEPT shareholders of record on May 11, 2026, will have a special meeting on June 29, 2026. If approved, the business combination is expected to close shortly afterward. The combined company will operate as Securitize Corp.
Once completed, Securitize Corp. plans to trade on the New York Stock Exchange with a ticker symbol of SECZ. The Securitize public listing will allow public investors to gain access to a regulated tokenization infrastructure company. It would also place the firm under listed-company reporting rules.
Securitize offers services for digital securities, tokenized funds, transfer agency, fund administration, trading systems, and broker-dealer operations. It provides a platform for issuers and asset managers to utilize blockchain market rails. It has regulated operations in the US and Europe.
Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO of Securitize, said the SEC clearance was an important milestone. He said this development is connected with broader institutional adoption of tokenization. The public-company status would allow the firm to “scale its infrastructure globally,” Domingo said.
Securitize Expands Tokenized Asset Partnerships
The public listing of Securitize comes after the firm’s partnership with large asset managers. It includes BlackRock, Apollo Global Management, Hamilton Lane, KKR, and VanEck as its tokenized products. Securitize is collaborating with BlackRock with respect to the proposed BlackRock Daily Reinvestment Stablecoin Reserve Vehicle.
For the first quarter of 2026, the company reported record revenue. Revenue of $19.5 million was 39% higher than for the same period last year. The average value of assets tokenized during the quarter was $3.2 billion.
Tokenized AUM grew to $3.4 billion as of March 31, 2026, Securitize stated. The quarter’s transaction volume was $1.9 billion. The assets under administration were $24.9 billion, with broader activity.
Profitability moved lower despite revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA was $0.8 million compared to $4.1 million in the previous quarter. The company has recorded a net loss of $7.9 million or $0.88 per diluted share.
The Securitize public listing would align with a growing interest in tokenized assets by institutions. The final result is subject to the conditions of the shareholder vote and closing. If completed, the deal would bring Securitize to the NYSE under SECZ.
