Leading tokenization firm Securitize (SECZ) began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday following a business combination with Cantor Equity Partners II late Wednesday.

After opening at $12.45, SECZ hit a midday high of $13.70, about a 10% jump, and closed the day at $12.30.

Securitize also launched tokenized versions of full SECZ shares on Solana and Avalanche, enabling broader global access to the stock and 24/7 trading, among other potential use cases.

This means that even though traditional U.S. stock markets will be closed Friday in observance of Independence Day, SECZ will continue to trade.

"We're gonna eat our own dog food," Securitize President Brett Redfearn told The Block, discussing plans to bring stocks onchain.
