Securitize Secures $400 Million Path to NYSE Listing Under SECZ

TLDR

• Securitize expects $400M from CEPT merger before NYSE listing

• SECZ shares are expected to start trading on NYSE from July 2

  

• CEPT shareholder vote on June 29 remains the next key step

• Low redemptions help preserve capital for Securitize’s listing

• Securitize brings $4B in tokenized assets toward public markets

Securitize expects its planned business combination to generate approximately $400 million in gross proceeds. The deal could close on July 1 after a shareholder vote on June 29. Shares would then begin trading on the NYSE under the SECZ ticker on July 2.

Low Redemptions Support $400 Million Proceeds

Cantor Equity Partners II reported that fewer than 30% of its Class A shareholders requested redemptions. More capital will remain available when the companies complete the proposed transaction. The estimated proceeds include related private investment financing but exclude transaction costs.

Securitize plans to use the transaction to strengthen its position within the growing tokenized asset market. The company currently manages more than $4 billion in tokenized real-world assets. Its platform supports funds developed with several major global asset managers.

CEPT shareholders must approve the business combination during the June 29 special meeting. Both companies must also meet or waive the remaining customary closing requirements. The parties currently expect to complete the transaction two days after the vote.

SECZ Listing Brings Tokenization Platform to NYSE

Following completion, the combined business will operate publicly under the name Securitize Corp. Its common stock should begin NYSE trading under SECZ on July 2. The listing would place a major tokenization provider directly within public equity markets.

Securitize provides regulated infrastructure for issuing, managing, transferring, and trading tokenized financial products. Its partners include BlackRock, Apollo, BNY, Hamilton Lane, KKR and VanEck. These relationships connect established asset managers with blockchain-based financial infrastructure.

The company operates several regulated affiliates across the United States and Europe. Its American businesses include a registered broker-dealer, transfer agent, investment adviser, and fund administrator. Its European affiliate operates under the European Union’s DLT Pilot Regime.

Business Combination Builds on 2025 Agreement

Securitize and CEPT announced their definitive business combination agreement on October 28, 2025. CEPT operates as a special purpose acquisition company backed by a Cantor Fitzgerald affiliate. The agreement outlined plans for the combined company to secure an NYSE listing.

Since then, both parties have prepared regulatory filings and transaction documents for shareholder review. These materials include CEPT’s regulatory reports and Securitize’s registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The filings explain the transaction terms, structure, financing arrangements, and associated risks.

Citigroup serves as financial and capital markets adviser to Securitize throughout the transaction. Cantor Fitzgerald advises CEPT, while both firms also manage the related private placement. Several law firms provide legal support for the companies and placement agents.

Securitize enters the proposed listing with more than eight years of tokenization experience. The company combines asset issuance, transfer services, fund administration, and secondary trading within one regulated structure. The SECZ listing would connect its tokenization operations with broader public market access.
