The company announced Friday that fewer than 30% of shareholders in Cantor Equity Partners II elected to redeem their shares. That means Securitize kept over 71% of the SPAC trust intact.
The $400 million figure includes a previously announced PIPE financing round, which was oversubscribed at $225 million.
Shares in Cantor Equity Partners II rose 7% on Friday to close at $10.86, and continued to climb in after-hours trading.
The merger is expected to close on Wednesday, July 1, pending shareholder approval on Monday. Securitize will then begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, July 2, under the ticker SECZ.
Tokenization Moving Into the Mainstream
Securitize co-founder and CEO Carlos Domingo said the public listing reflects how far the tokenization market has come.
“When we started more than eight years ago, the idea that major institutions would embrace tokenized securities was still largely theoretical,” Domingo said. “Today, tokenization is moving into the mainstream.”
Securitize works with major asset managers including Apollo, KKR, Hamilton Lane, and VanEck, alongside BlackRock. The company provides the infrastructure to represent real-world assets on blockchains.
Its highest-profile product is BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, which invests in U.S. Treasuries and has grown to nearly $3.1 billion.
Data covering 15 leading tokenization protocols shows roughly $22.5 billion locked across real-world asset platforms, down slightly from a peak of over $24 billion in mid-April.
Regulatory Backdrop
The US Securities and Exchange Commission was reportedly ready to allow trading of tokenized stocks in mid-May, but delayed that plan after stock exchange officials raised concerns about implementation.
Securitize holds regulatory licenses across both the US and Europe. Analysts at Benchmark cited those licenses in reiterating a Buy rating with a $16 price target earlier this month, calling the company a potential “positive outlier” as institutional adoption grows.
In March, Securitize partnered with the New York Stock Exchange to create tokenized assets for the exchange’s upcoming tokenized securities platform.
Standard Chartered has forecast that tokenized assets in decentralized finance could grow 37-fold to $2.7 trillion by the end of 2030.
Securitize also partnered with Franklin Templeton and BNP Paribas on tokenization projects aimed at improving capital efficiency in European markets.
The company’s public debut comes as Wall Street appetite for tokenization exposure continues to grow heading into the second half of 2026.
