Securitize moved closer to becoming a publicly traded company after the SEC declared effective the Form S-4 registration statement tied to its proposed merger with Cantor Equity Partners II.

The transaction will go to CEPT shareholders for approval on June 29 and is expected to close shortly after if approved.

The combined company is expected to operate as Securitize Corp. and trade on the NYSE under the ticker SECZ. Cantor Equity Partners II currently trades on Nasdaq under the ticker CEPT.

The SEC declaration marks a key milestone for one of the largest regulated tokenization firms trying to enter public markets. Securitize said it had more than $4 billion in tokenized real world assets under management as of April 2026, with products tied to major asset managers including BlackRock, Apollo, BNY, Hamilton Lane, KKR, and VanEck.

Securitize operates regulated broker dealer, transfer agent, fund administration, and trading infrastructure in the US and Europe, including an SEC regulated ATS and EU DLT Pilot Regime authorization.
