Securitize announced today a $1.25 billion SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners II (CEPT) to pursue a Nasdaq listing under the ticker “SECZ,” the company said in a press release. The move aims to expand its tokenization services for digital securities.
The deal will allow Securitize to tokenize its own equity, making shares transferable on blockchain networks. Existing investors—including ARK Invest, BlackRock, and Morgan Stanley Investment Management—will roll their stakes into the combined entity. Additionally, a $225 million PIPE financing round led by Arche and ParaFi Capital will bring new institutional capital. The transaction positions Securitize as the first U.S. public firm offering comprehensive tokenization infrastructure for securities, already managing $4.5 billion in on-chain assets and collaborating with major institutions like Apollo and VanEck.
The SPAC shares (CEPT) traded 6.5% lower in premarket at $12.00, while Securitize plans to finalize the merger and begin Nasdaq trading later this year. Market observers expect growing demand for tokenized equity solutions to drive adoption in institutional and retail markets.
