Securitize Clears SEC Hurdle for NYSE Listing via Cantor SPAC Merger

Securitize, a BlackRock-backed tokenization firm, has overcome a major regulatory obstacle as the SEC declared its registration statement effective for a planned NYSE listing. The merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, set for a shareholder vote on June 29, would see the combined entity trade under the ticker "SECZ."

The company provides infrastructure for tokenized products from major asset managers like BlackRock, Apollo, and KKR. Its flagship partnership with BlackRock's BUIDL fund, a $2.4 billion tokenized Treasury product, underscores its position in the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization space.

Securitize holds multiple financial registrations across the U.S. and Europe, positioning it as a key player in institutional crypto adoption. CEO Carlos Domingo called the deal a milestone, reflecting growing mainstream acceptance of blockchain-based financial infrastructure.
