Securitize to Go Public at $1.25B Valuation via Cantor SPAC Deal
Securitize, a pioneer in real-world asset tokenization, has announced plans to go public through a SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners II. The deal values the company at $1.25 billion pre-money, marking a watershed moment for blockchain-based capital markets infrastructure.
The transaction includes $225 million in PIPE financing from institutional heavyweights like Arche and BlackRock-backed ParaFi Capital. Existing investors including ARK Invest and Morgan Stanley will roll their equity into the new Nasdaq-listed entity, trading under ticker "SECZ" in H1 2026.
In a groundbreaking move, Securitize will tokenize its own equity - demonstrating end-to-end onchain capital markets functionality. The platform has already tokenized $4 billion in assets for institutional clients including KKR and BlackRock, whose BUIDL fund became the largest RWA tokenization to date in 2024.
