The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has declared effective the Form S-4 registration statement tied to Securitize's merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, eliminating the last major regulatory hurdle before the tokenization firm puts the deal to a shareholder vote and lists on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker SECZ. The announcement came on June 5, 2026.
SEC Clears S-4, Final Hurdle for NYSE Debut
The registration statement was filed by Securitize Holdings, Inc., the post-merger public company, in connection with the business combination announced on October 28, 2025. Effectiveness means the disclosure package has passed regulatory review, allowing the parties to proceed to shareholder approval. The merged entity is expected to operate as Securitize Corp. and trade on the NYSE. Cantor Equity Partners II, a publicly traded SPAC sponsored by an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald, currently trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker CEPT.
Largest Tokenization Infrastructure Firm with $4B+ AUM
Independent tracker RWA.xyz ranks Securitize first among platforms distributing tokenized assets onchain, with roughly $4.1 billion across 22 products as of June 1, 2026, ahead of Ondo and Circle. When recordkeeping-layer platforms are included, Securitize slips to third behind Broadridge DLR and Figure, neither of which allows investors to transfer tokens onchain. Securitize itself reported over $4 billion in assets under management as of April 2026.
Shareholder Vote on June 29, Listing to Follow
Shareholders of record as of May 11, 2026, will vote on the merger at a special meeting on June 29, 2026. If approved and customary conditions are met, the transaction is expected to close shortly afterward, with the NYSE listing soon after. The regulatory backdrop has shifted favorably: U.S. banking regulators have confirmed that tokenized securities qualify as financial collateral under existing capital rules.
CEO Eyes Global Expansion After Going Public
Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo tied the clearance to broader institutional adoption. "This marks another important milestone for Securitize and for the broader institutional adoption of tokenization. Becoming a public company would position Securitize to continue scaling that infrastructure globally as tokenization increasingly becomes part of mainstream financial markets," he said.
Since announcing the deal, Securitize has expanded its footprint: collaborating with NYSE on tokenized securities infrastructure, partnering with Computershare on issuer-sponsored tokenized shares, and launching onchain regulated trading for tokenized stocks on Solana with Jump Trading and Jupiter. It continues building tokenized products with asset managers including BlackRock, Apollo, Hamilton Lane, KKR, and VanEck. The firm holds SEC-registered broker-dealer, transfer-agent and alternative trading system licenses in the U.S. and a regulated digital-securities operation in Europe under the EU DLT Pilot Regime, claiming to be the only firm licensed across both jurisdictions.
