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.

Securitize has moved closer to a public listing after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission declared the S-4 registration statement for its SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners II effective. This merger, sponsored by an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald, is scheduled for a shareholder vote on June 29. If approved, the combined entity will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ, marking a significant step for institutional RWA adoption. Securitize currently manages $4 billion in assets and maintains partnerships with major financial institutions including BlackRock, Apollo, and BNY. The firm demonstrated strong financial growth, reporting $19.5 million in first-quarter revenue, a 39% increase year-over-year. This development follows a memorandum of understanding signed with the NYSE in March to explore blockchain-based stock trading infrastructure. As the largest tokenization platform by market share, this potential listing signals increasing mainstream integration for on-chain financial assets.
