Securitize, a leading platform in real-world asset tokenization, moved closer to becoming a publicly traded company after the US Securities and Exchange Commission approved a crucial Form S-4 registration. The filing pertains to its planned merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) affiliated with Cantor Fitzgerald.

Pending shareholder approval, expected on June 29, the combined entity will list on the New York Stock Exchange as Securitize Corp, using the ticker symbol SECZ. This transaction aims to provide investors with access to one of the largest firms in the emerging market of tokenized real-world assets.

Securitize currently manages $4 billion in assets, offering tokenized funds in collaboration with major asset managers such as Apollo, BlackRock, BNY Mellon, and VanEck. The company reported strong financial growth, with first-quarter revenue reaching $19.5 million—a 39% increase year-over-year.

Earlier this year, the NYSE formalized a memorandum of understanding with Securitize, as part of a broader initiative to integrate blockchain technology with traditional stock trading infrastructure on Wall Street. Securitize holds a market-leading position as the largest tokenization platform by market share.

The rise of tokenized real-world assets has continued despite the wider cryptocurrency downturn. According to industry data, the on-chain value of these assets surged by approximately 220% over the past year, reaching a record $32 billion in May, excluding stablecoins. Tokenized US Treasuries account for nearly half of this market, followed by tokenized commodities at around 16%. Tokenized equities remain a smaller segment, representing roughly 4.8% or $1.5 billion of the total.

Ethereum and its layer-2 scaling solutions dominate the tokenization space, collectively controlling more than 60% of the market. This positions the network as the primary infrastructure for the growth and adoption of tokenized assets.
