Securitize nears NYSE debut after SEC approval

Share

Real-world asset tokenisation platform Securitize has cleared a major regulatory hurdle on its path to a New York Stock Exchange listing after the US Securities and Exchange Commission declared its S-4 registration statement effective.

The approval relates to Securitize's proposed merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, bringing the transaction one step closer to completion.

“Another important milestone for Securitize and for the broader institutional adoption of tokenisation,”

Said Securitize co-founder and chief executive, Carlos Domingo.

Shareholders are scheduled to vote on the merger on June 29, and if approved, the combined company will trade on the NYSE under the ticker SECZ, giving public market investors exposure to one of the world's largest tokenised asset platforms.

Securitize currently manages approximately $4 billion in assets and offers tokenised investment products alongside major asset managers including Apollo Global Management, BlackRock, BNY and VanEck, while reporting first-quarter revenue of $19.5 million, up 39% from a year earlier.

The listing comes as tokenised real-world assets continue to gain traction, with on-chain RWA value reaching a record $32 billion in May, excluding stablecoins, representing growth of roughly 220% over the previous 12 months.

The NYSE has also deepened its involvement in blockchain-based finance, signing a memorandum of understanding with Securitize in March to explore tokenised stock trading infrastructure, while Ethereum and its layer-2 networks continue to account for more than 60% of the tokenisation market.

At the time of reporting, Ethereum price was $1,657.02.
