On October 28, 2025, Securitize, a pioneer in tokenization of real-world assets, announced its merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, Inc., a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) sponsored by Cantor Fitzgerald. This strategic deal values Securitize at a pre-money valuation of $1.25 billion and aims to position the company as a public entity traded on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol SECZ, beginning January 2026.

The merger will generate $465 million in gross proceeds, combining $225 million from private investors with $240 million from the SPAC's trust account, providing strong capital to fuel Securitize's growth initiatives. Founded in 2017, Securitize has been at the forefront of enabling major financial institutions, including BlackRock, to access the emerging tokenized funds market.

The company specializes in tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs), a sector showing remarkable promise, especially with U.S. Treasurys tokenization growing rapidly. Analysts estimate the tokenization market to approach nearly $4 trillion by 2030, highlighting significant growth potential for firms like Securitize.

For crypto investors interested in entering or expanding within the tokenized asset space, platforms like Bitlet.app offer innovative options such as Crypto Installment services, empowering users to buy cryptos now and pay monthly, reducing upfront financial barriers.

This SPAC merger marks a pivotal moment in the mainstream adoption of blockchain-based finance, and Securitize stands poised to leverage its technology and partnerships to lead the industry's next phase.
