Securitize made history on July 2, 2026. It also immediately lost 40% of its market value. Those two facts exist in the same timeline, and that tension tells you almost everything you need to know about where tokenization sits right now.
The company completed its SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners II and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ. The deal raised approximately $400 million in gross proceeds and pegged the company’s pre-money valuation at $1.25 billion. In practice, the stock fell roughly 40% shortly after listing.
What Securitize actually does
Securitize handles transfer agency services, broker-dealer operations, fund administration, and the regulatory scaffolding required to put traditional financial assets on a blockchain.
The company has tokenized over $4 billion in assets to date, serving institutional clients that include BlackRock, Apollo, KKR, and VanEck. Its highest-profile project is BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, which brought a money-market-style product onto blockchain rails. BlackRock led a $47 million funding round in Securitize in 2024.
