Wall Street just got a blockchain moment it can’t ignore. Securitize, the platform that has quietly become the backbone of real-world asset tokenization, rang the NYSE opening bell to mark the start of trading under ticker SECZ on July 2, 2026. On the same day, the company tokenized its own common stock on Avalanche and Solana, making SECZ what it claims is the world’s largest tokenized stock at launch.
How Securitize got here
The NYSE listing came through a merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, a SPAC that raised approximately $400 million and valued Securitize at $1.25 billion before the deal closed.
In March 2026, the NYSE signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Securitize, naming it the first digital transfer agent for tokenized securities on the exchange. That MoU also laid the groundwork for a planned 24/7 trading platform for tokenized securities, which would represent a significant departure from the current system where US markets close at 4 p.m. Eastern and reopen roughly 17 hours later.
A Closing Bell ceremony is scheduled for July 6, 2026. CEO Carlos Domingo has framed these events not as endpoints but as opening moves in a longer transition toward institutional adoption of tokenized securities.
