Securitize clears US$400M SPAC merger approval

• Securitize received shareholder approval for its SPAC merger, clearing the way for a New York Stock Exchange listing on Thursday.
• The transaction is expected to generate about US$400 million in gross proceeds and values the company at US$1.25 billion.
• The listing comes as institutional demand for tokenised funds and real-world asset infrastructure continues to grow.

Securitize has secured shareholder approval for its merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, clearing the final major hurdle before the combined company is expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ on 3 July.

The transaction is expected to close on 1 July, subject to customary closing conditions, and Securitize said it expects to receive about US$400 million in gross proceeds before expenses, including proceeds from related private investment financing.

“Today, tokenisation is moving into the mainstream, and we believe becoming a public company gives us the visibility, credibility, and capital to lead that next phase of growth,” said Securitize co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Carlos Domingo.

Securitize said fewer than 30% of Cantor Equity Partners II shareholders redeemed their shares, leaving more than 71% of the SPAC trust intact, while the transaction includes an oversubscribed US$225 million private investment round and values the company at US$1.25 billion.

Following the approval, Cantor Equity Partners II shares rose as much as 20% during Monday's trading session.

Securitize provides tokenisation infrastructure for asset managers including BlackRock, Apollo Global Management, KKR, Hamilton Lane and VanEck, while managing BlackRock's BUIDL tokenised money market fund, one of the largest tokenised US Treasury products.

The company reported US$1.9 billion in transaction volume during the first quarter of 2026 and has expanded into tokenised collateralised loan obligation products, as institutional investors increasingly adopt blockchain-based financial infrastructure for real-world assets.
