Securitize, a leading tokenized securities platform, announced on June 5 that its proposed business combination with special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Cantor Equity Partners II (Nasdaq: CEPT) has cleared a major regulatory hurdle. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) declared the related S-4 registration statement effective, signaling that the disclosure documents meet regulatory standards and paving the way for the shareholder vote and subsequent deal closure.
Under the announced timeline, the merger will be submitted to a special meeting of CEPT shareholders on June 29, 2026. If shareholders approve the proposal, the transaction is expected to close soon after customary closing conditions are satisfied. The swift progression — from SEC effectiveness to a shareholder vote in just over three weeks — highlights the efficiency typical of well-prepared SPAC processes.
NYSE Listing with Ticker “SECZ”
Upon completion, the combined company will operate under the name Securitize Corp. and list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “SECZ.” The move from a private entity to a publicly traded one is set to enhance brand visibility and access to capital, supporting further expansion in tokenized securities. The NYSE listing also promises greater liquidity and exposure for a company operating at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets.
Tokenized Securities Push and BlackRock Tie-Up
In its announcement, Securitize also highlighted ongoing efforts in tokenized securities, trading infrastructure, and collaborations with institutions including BlackRock. As a platform that bridges real-world assets (RWAs) and blockchain-based issuance, Securitize has already facilitated compliant digital securities transactions. Its partnership with BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager overseeing over $10 trillion, underscores the growing institutional interest in tokenized asset infrastructure.
Should the merger close, Securitize will become one of the few publicly listed companies centered on tokenized securities. The firm said it will continue to advance its issuance and trading infrastructure, and deepen collaborations with BlackRock and other institutional players, to extend its footprint in the converging worlds of traditional and digital finance.
