Introduction
Securitize, a leading asset tokenization platform, is set to make its debut on the public market through a merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, potentially valuing the company at $1.25 billion. This significant move marks an important milestone for the tokenization industry and seeks to enhance the accessibility and efficiency of capital markets.
Securitize Goes Public at a $1.25 Billion Valuation
Securitize’s decision to go public allows it to join a growing cohort of cryptocurrency-focused companies entering the stock market. The platform, known for facilitating asset tokenization for major entities like BlackRock and Apollo, will merge with Cantor Equity Partners II to reach a valuation of $1.25 billion.
Cantor Equity Partners is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) sponsored by Cantor Fitzgerald. This transaction is projected to generate up to $469 million in gross proceeds, which includes a $225 million capital infusion from private investments in public equity (PIPE).
This influx of capital will strengthen Securitize’s operational capabilities while furthering its mission to democratize capital markets through tokenization.

Securitize Establishes Industry Leadership
Going public enhances Securitize’s position as a leader in the tokenization domain. Having facilitated over $4 billion in tokenized assets, the platform is poised to attract even greater attention as a publicly traded entity.
The company’s platform provides a comprehensive ecosystem that integrates with leading blockchains and financial institutions, distinguishing it as a vertically integrated tokenization provider registered with the SEC.
Notable firms like BlackRock and Apollo utilize Securitize to tokenize their funds.
“This is a pivotal moment for Securitize and the future of finance,” said Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO of Securitize. “We founded this company with the mission to democratize capital markets by making them more accessible, transparent, and efficient through tokenization. This marks a new chapter in how financial markets operate at the speed of the internet and an essential step in bringing on-chain financing to the forefront of the industry.”
Securitize’s IPO is expected to accelerate the adoption of tokenization within traditional financial markets. Brandon Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, expressed, “We believe blockchain technology has tremendous potential to transform finance, and our partnership with Securitize underscores our confidence in tokenization as a fundamental force in the next era of capital markets.”
The Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization market has surged by 135% over the past year, attaining a total valuation of $35 billion, according to recent data. Citi analysts project that the sector for risk-weighted tokenized assets could reach nearly $4 trillion by 2030.
