- Securitize and Cantor Equity Partners II have received SEC effectiveness for their Form S-4 registration statement, moving their planned SPAC merger closer to a shareholder vote.
- If approved, the combined company is expected to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ.
- The update comes as tokenized real-world assets, including Treasury products and funds, continue to draw institutional attention.
Securitize, a platform focused on tokenized real-world assets, has moved a step closer to becoming a publicly listed company.
According to Cointelegraph, the US Securities and Exchange Commission has declared effective the Form S-4 registration statement connected to Securitize’s planned merger with Cantor Equity Partners II. A Form S-4 is a regulatory filing used in some mergers and acquisitions, giving investors key details before they vote.
Shareholders are expected to vote on the deal on June 29. If they approve it, the combined company would list on the New York Stock Exchange as Securitize Corp. under the ticker SECZ.
The story matters because Securitize works in real-world asset tokenization. In simple terms, tokenization means representing traditional assets, such as funds, bonds, or other financial products, on a blockchain. Supporters say this can make markets faster and more accessible, while regulators and investors still need clear rules, controls, and risk management.
Cointelegraph reported that Securitize has about $4 billion in assets under management and works with major asset managers including Apollo, BlackRock, BNY, and VanEck. The company also reported first-quarter revenue of $19.5 million, up 39% from the same period a year earlier.
The wider tokenized asset market has also grown quickly. Cointelegraph cited RWA.xyz data showing tokenized real-world assets reached about $32 billion in on-chain value in May, excluding stablecoins. US Treasury products made up a large share of that market.
For crypto investors and token teams, the key takeaway is not that tokenization removes risk. It is that large financial institutions are still building in this area, and regulatory filings are becoming an important part of how these projects move from crypto-native products toward public markets.
