Securitize Considers $1B SPAC Merger with Cantor Fitzgerald-Backed Firm
Securitize, a blockchain firm specializing in tokenizing traditional investments, is in advanced discussions to go public through a merger with Cantor Equity Partners II Inc., a blank-check company sponsored by Cantor Fitzgerald LP. The deal WOULD value Securitize at over $1 billion, marking a significant milestone for the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization sector.
Backed by BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, and ARK Venture Fund, Securitize operates a regulated platform that converts exposure to traditional assets—such as S&P indices, US Treasuries, and real estate—into digital tokens. A successful merger would position Securitize as one of the first blockchain-native firms to go public via a SPAC, capitalizing on renewed institutional interest in tokenized finance.
Sources caution that talks remain fluid, and Securitize may ultimately opt to stay private. Neither company has commented publicly on the negotiations.
