Securitize to Go Public in $1.25 Billion SPAC, Plans Tokenized Stock

The Cantor-backed deal sets up a Nasdaq debut as SECZ with up to $469 million of new capital.

Overview

  • Securitize signed a definitive merger agreement with Cantor Equity Partners II, with the combined company set to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker SECZ.
  • The firm expects up to $465–$469 million in gross proceeds, including a $225 million committed PIPE and cash from the SPAC trust, assuming no redemptions.
  • CEO Carlos Domingo said shares could begin trading as soon as January, subject to regulatory review and closing conditions.
  • Existing backers including BlackRock, ARK Invest, and Morgan Stanley Investment Management will roll their equity into the public company.
