Securitize to Raise $400M as BlackRock-Backed Tokenization Firm Prepares NYSE Debut

What happened: Securitize, a leader in tokenizing real-world assets and backed by BlackRock and Ark Invest, is set to raise approximately $400 million through a merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, a SPAC sponsored by Cantor Fitzgerald. The deal, pending shareholder approval on June 29, will see Securitize begin trading on the NYSE under the ticker SECZ on July 2. The company’s Form S-4 registration was declared effective by the SEC on June 5, and Cantor’s SPAC shares jumped about 8% following the announcement.

Why it matters: Securitize’s public debut marks one of the largest capital raises in the tokenization sector to date, signaling growing institutional interest in blockchain-based real-world asset markets, which BCG and Ripple estimate could reach $18.9 trillion by 2033. The move also underscores the increasing convergence of traditional finance and blockchain, with Securitize already working with major asset managers such as Apollo, KKR, and VanEck. The $400 million raise, if completed, will provide significant firepower for expansion in a market currently valued at over $30 billion.
