Securitize to trade as SECZ on NYSE July 2

Securitize shareholders approved a business combination with Cantor Equity Partners II on June 29, 2026, clearing the final shareholder vote needed for the company to list on the New York Stock Exchange. The merger is set to close on July 1, and Securitize will start trading under the ticker SECZ on July 2.

The transaction brings roughly $400 million in proceeds to the combined company, including an oversubscribed $225 million private investment in public equity, or PIPE. Less than 30% of Cantor Equity Partners II Class A shares were redeemed, leaving the combined company with about 71.5% of the SPAC’s trust account. The deal values Securitize at about $1.25 billion on a pre-money basis.

Founder Carlos Domingo highlighted the PIPE and redemption figures in a June statement, saying the company had raised an oversubscribed $225 million PIPE and would go public with more than $400 million on July 2.

Securitize, founded in Miami in 2017 by Carlos Domingo and Jamie Finn, builds software that converts traditional assets-such as real estate, private credit and investment funds-into tradable digital tokens. The company operates tokenized products and provides back-office services. BlackRock uses Securitize to operate its BUIDL fund, a tokenized U.S. Treasury product that has grown to more than $3 billion. Other clients include Apollo, KKR, Hamilton Lane, VanEck and BNY.

The company holds a set of regulatory licenses that many crypto firms do not pursue: it is a U.S. SEC-registered broker-dealer, a registered transfer agent and a fund administrator for about 650 funds. In Europe, Securitize has full Investment Firm authorization under the EU’s DLT Pilot Regime. The firm is also a design partner with the NYSE on a planned tokenized equities trading platform announced in March 2026.

Securitize reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of $19.5 million, a 39% increase from a year earlier. Asset servicing revenue, driven largely by BUIDL and similar products, rose 201% to $8.3 million. The company posted a net loss of $7.9 million for the quarter, which management attributed to one-time costs related to going public. Management projects full-year 2026 revenue near $110 million, with roughly $85 million already under contract or recurring.

After listing, Securitize plans to tokenize its own shares on its platform and offer those tokenized shares alongside traditional shares settled through the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation. Investors will be able to choose between standard T+1 settlement and instant blockchain-based settlement, which could enable continuous trading outside regular market hours. The company estimates the long-term tokenizable asset market at between $10 trillion and $19 trillion, covering equities, bonds and alternative investments.

Securitize’s listing will be one of the first instances in the U.S. public markets where a company offers both conventional and tokenized forms of its own stock.
