Securitize will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on July 2, 2026 under the symbol SECZ, following the approval of shareholders to merge with Cantor Equity Partners II on June 29.
The deal raises about $400 million at a valuation of $1.25 billion, making Securitize the first tokenization company to list on a major US exchange.
The combined entity will operate as Securitize Corp., and the merger will close on June 30. For the US regulatory center surrounding crypto and capital marketsA tokenization-driven company going public on the NYSE is an archive, not just a company history.
Securitize was founded in 2017 and has developed a portfolio that includes an SEC-registered broker-dealer, transmitter, fund manager, and ATS operator roles in the US, including authorization under the EU DLT Pilot Regime in Europe. The following consensus is a benchmark benchmark Equity Research noted when it reiterated a ‘Buy’ rating and price target of $16 in early June.
The company’s client relationship is BlackRock, whose BUIDL tokenized market fund, managed on the Securitize platform, has grown to $3 billion in total closed value. Apollo, KKR, Hamilton Lane, and VanEck round out the client list.
Securitize CEO and Co-founder Carlos Domingo prepared a list of words for the trajectory of the sector and not only the firm: “Today, tokenization is going to the main sector, and we believe that being a public company gives us visibility, integrity, and capital to lead to the next phase of growth,” he said.
Securitize Deal Mechanics: What Are the Signs of Sub-30% Redemptions
The financial structure has an important detail to distinguish: less than 30% of the holders of Cantor Equity Partners II Class A chose to redeem their shares, leaving the Securitize with 71% of the total. SPAC trust.
That redemption is dwarfed by recent SPAC practices, where redemptions are often more than 80% or 90%, and indicates that institutional owners are holding on rather than cashing out at a reasonable price.
The $400 million investment includes a $225 million PIPE that was oversubscribed. The oversubscribed PIPE for the mid-2026 financial year reflects the real demand of institutions, not marketing machines.
Combined with the Q1 2026 revenue of $19.5 million, an increase of 39% year-on-year – the financial history that enters the public market is not a fantasy.
RWA Tokenization at Scale: What Does Securitize’s NYSE Debut Mean for the Sector?
The growing real estate market has grown exponentially: The top 15 RWA protocols grew 128% in total value last year, from $9.55 billion to $21.84 billion as of June 29, 2026.
Different estimates put the on-chain RWA market at around $32 billion when counting most protocols. Securitize is not the only provider of infrastructure for this space, but it is the largest exchange trading platform with public funds for deployment.
The NYSE relationship runs deeper than the listing site. Securitize has signed a memorandum of understanding with the NYSE to work on a digital exchange for a new 24/7 tokenized stock market and ETF trading platform using on-chain settlement and stablecoin funds.
This makes the SECZ a partner and partner in the local exchange, an unusual dual role that places the company within the infrastructure of the capital market rather than adjacent to it.
Similarities are seen elsewhere in this section: tokenizations are already being used as climate toolsa sign that technology has moved past proof-of-concept to apply to the live market.
What to Watch After SECZ Opens
The first session of trading on July 2 will establish a market place for tokenization products as a financial group.
Benchmark $ 16 price target provides the market anchor expert, but the price found on the first day shows how generalist equity funds, not crypto-native capital, the price dominated the tokenization rail at 1x the total amount.
Post-listing disclosures on the capital deployment, the tokenized-equity roadmap, and any new partnerships will be the next sign. Securitize’s internal estimates put the potential market for RWA tokenization at $19 trillion.
Whether this suspension continues to be controlled by a public company is a separate question from whether the business is real. The business is real. The price negotiation begins on July 2.
