Securitize Moves Toward Public Listing as Tokenized Asset Market Heats Up

Tokenization infrastructure provider Securitize has taken a major step toward becoming a publicly traded company after filing a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 

The filing advances the company’s plan to go public through a merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, a special purpose acquisition company backed by Cantor Fitzgerald.

The move positions Securitize to capitalize on growing institutional interest in tokenized real-world assets, a segment increasingly viewed as one of the most significant long-term growth opportunities within blockchain-based financial infrastructure.

Revenue Growth Reflects Rising Institutional Adoption

According to the Wednesday filing, Securitize reported $55.6 million in revenue during the first nine months of 2025, representing an 841% increase compared with the same period in 2024. The company’s full-year revenue for 2024 reached $18.8 million, more than doubling the previous year’s performance.

The sharp revenue expansion points to accelerating demand for tokenization infrastructure among institutional clients seeking more efficient methods to issue, trade, and manage traditional financial assets on blockchain networks.

Market reaction to the pending deal has also been notable. While many crypto-linked equities faced pressure amid broader market weakness — with Bitcoin and technology stocks declining and triggering 5% to 10% drawdowns across parts of the sector — shares of Cantor Equity Partners II rose 4.4% late in Thursday’s trading session.

SPAC Merger Would Lead To Nasdaq Listing

If approved by shareholders and regulators, the merger would result in Securitize becoming a publicly listed company on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol SECZ.

The structure follows a familiar path for companies looking to enter public markets through SPAC mergers, offering potentially faster access to public capital compared with traditional initial public offerings. However, completion of the transaction remains contingent on regulatory clearance and shareholder approval.

Tokenization Momentum Expands Across Traditional Finance

Securitize’s planned public listing comes at a time when tokenization is gaining traction across global financial markets. 

Major institutions, including JPMorgan Chase and BlackRock, have increasingly incorporated tokenized assets into product offerings and infrastructure initiatives.

Tokenization enables traditionally illiquid or slow-settling assets — such as U.S. Treasuries, investment funds, and private equity — to be converted into blockchain-based tokens. These tokens can then be transferred, traded, or managed with improved settlement speed, transparency, and programmability compared with legacy financial rails.

Industry forecasts suggest the sector could scale dramatically over the next decade. A joint report from Boston Consulting Group and Ripple Labs estimated the tokenized asset market could reach approximately $18.9 trillion by 2033, driven by institutional adoption, regulatory clarity, and advances in blockchain infrastructure.

Public Markets Could Accelerate Tokenization Expansion

A successful public listing would provide Securitize with additional capital and visibility as competition intensifies among firms building infrastructure for tokenized finance. 

The company currently provides technology that allows traditional assets to be issued and managed as blockchain-based tokens, enabling fractional ownership, automated compliance, and faster settlement cycles.

The broader tokenization narrative is increasingly being framed as an extension of traditional capital markets rather than a purely crypto-native use case. As banks, asset managers, and fintech firms continue to explore blockchain-based asset issuance, infrastructure providers like Securitize are positioning themselves as foundational layers in the emerging digital financial ecosystem.

If the CEPT merger closes and the company begins trading publicly, it would mark another milestone in the integration of blockchain infrastructure into mainstream capital markets, signaling continued institutional confidence in tokenization as a long-term structural shift in global finance.
