Securitize and Cantor Equity Partners II announced their combined company is expected to start trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ on July 2, 2026, following completion of their SPAC merger deal.
The deal was initially announced on October 28, 2025, and is currently nearing the closing process, according to the report. A special meeting of the shareholders of CEPT is scheduled for June 29, 2026, to discuss and approve the proposed merger.
The combined company would be known as Securitize Corp. if shareholders approve the transaction. The closing is subject to customary closing conditions related to the business combination.

Securitize Eyes $400M Boost From NYSE Listing
Securitize announced that the public listing is an important milestone for its real-world asset tokenization business. Chief Executive Officer Carlos Domingo said reaching public markets reflects growing momentum behind tokenization.
“When we started more than eight years ago, the idea that major institutions would embrace tokenized securities was still largely theoretical. Today, tokenization is moving into the mainstream, and we believe becoming a public company gives us the visibility, credibility, and capital to lead that next phase of growth,” the CEO added.
About $400 million in gross proceeds are expected from the merger. That amount includes PIPE financing and follows redemptions of less than 30% of CEPT Class A ordinary shares.
The proceeds may give Securitize more capital to expand its tokenized asset services. The listing on the NYSE might also increase its visibility with institutional investors that monitor the real-world asset market.
The transfer also coincides with a surge of interest in tokenization from the traditional finance market. Public trading may help investors assess the company through regular filings, market pricing, and public disclosures.
However, Securitize is entering the market while facing a legal dispute with tZERO. The company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware on June 23.
The complaint also requests a declaratory judgment that Securitize is not infringing tZERO patents. Securitize called the infringement claims meritless and rejected the allegations.
Securitize SECZ Listing Faces Legal and Shareholder Tests
In a post on X, tZERO has defended its intellectual property position. It reported that patent protection is still crucial to create a tokenization market that would be able to attract institutional capital.
The dispute may create legal costs for Securitize after it becomes a public company. It could also add risk for shareholders if the case leads to restrictions or a prolonged court battle.
The listing is subject to shareholder approval as part of the merger. A failed vote or unmet closing condition would delay the company’s public market plans.
Why SECZ Listing Matters for Tokenized Assets
The SECZ listing means investors have direct access to a tokenization company on a U.S. regulated exchange. It also brings the company under closer market scrutiny.
The launch on the NYSE will demonstrate the level of investor trust in asset tokenization. Furthermore, this will also test whether Securitize can translate market interest into company growth.
