Tokenization company Securitize is set to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) this Thursday, following shareholders' approval of its merger with Cantor Equity Partners II (CEPT).

 

The company will trade under the ticker symbol "SECZ" and will operate as Securitize Corp. following the merger with Cantor. "Following consummation, the combined company will operate as Securitize Corp., and its common stock is expected to begin trading on the NYSE on July 2, 2026, under the ticker symbol 'SECZ'," Securitize wrote in a post on X.

 

The Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) merger with Cantor enabled Securitize to raise $400 million in proceeds at a pre-money valuation of $1.25 billion, making it the first pure play tokenization company to be listed on a major U.S. exchange.

 

Acknowledging its listing plan, Carlos Domingo, Securitize's chief executive officer and cofounder, said, “Today, tokenization is moving into the mainstream, and we believe becoming a public company gives us the visibility, credibility, and capital to lead that next phase of growth.”
