Real-world asset tokenization platform Securitize is advancing toward a public listing via a SPAC merger after the SEC approved a key registration statement. The combined entity plans to list on the NYSE as Securitize Corp, granting investors exposure to a firm with $4 billion in assets under management. The move coincides with a record $32 billion in on-chain tokenized real-world asset value, excluding stablecoins, marking a 220% increase over the past year.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved the Form S-4 registration statement from Cantor Equity Partners II and Securitize. Shareholders will vote on June 29, and if approved, the combined company will list on the New York Stock Exchange as Securitize Corp, or “SECZ.”
Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo stated this marks “another important milestone for Securitize and for the broader institutional adoption of tokenization.” The firm manages $4 billion in assets and partners with asset managers like Apollo and BlackRock.
Securitize reported first-quarter revenue of $19.5 million, a 39% increase from the prior year. The NYSE signed a memorandum of understanding with the platform in March to develop blockchain-based stock trading infrastructure.
Tokenized real-world assets have seen strong momentum despite broader market conditions. Total on-chain RWA value hit a record $32 billion in May, excluding stablecoins, after a 220% increase over 12 months.
Almost half of these assets are tokenized U.S. Treasuries, while around 16% are tokenized commodities, according to RWA.xyz. Tokenized stocks represent a 4.8% market share, amounting to $1.5 billion.
Ethereum and layer-2 networks remain the market leaders for tokenization, with more than 60% dominance combined. The sector’s growth underscores increasing institutional interest in blockchain-based asset representation.
