Securitize and Cantor Collaborate to Enable Onchain IPOs and Follow-On Offerings for Public Companies

Securitize and Cantor Fitzgerald have entered a strategic partnership to enable public companies to conduct IPOs and follow-on offerings using blockchain-based infrastructure. By combining Cantor's equity capital markets expertise with Securitize's regulated tokenization platform, the collaboration aims to modernize the issuance, distribution, and servicing of securities. This initiative allows public companies to leverage blockchain benefits such as enhanced transparency and improved operational efficiency while remaining within traditional regulatory frameworks. Securitize Markets, an SEC-registered broker-dealer, will facilitate the offering and settlement processes for these onchain securities. This move marks a significant expansion of tokenization beyond secondary market trading into the primary capital formation process. As of July 2026, Securitize manages over $5 billion in assets and maintains regulatory licenses in both the U.S. and the EU. The partnership signals a shift toward integrating digital securities into mainstream capital markets, potentially setting a new standard for how public companies raise capital.
