The approval clears the final major step toward a public listing. Securitize said the deal is expected to close on Wednesday.

What the Merger Brings to Securitize

Securitize said it raised roughly $400 million through the transaction. That figure includes funds from the SPAC trust along with a private investment round.

Less than 30% of Cantor shareholders chose to redeem their shares. This allowed Securitize to retain more than 71% of the trust’s funds.

The private investment portion included an oversubscribed $225 million round. Company leadership said the funding will support future growth plans.

Securitize co-founder and chief executive Carlos Domingo said becoming a public company gives the firm more visibility and capital. He said this supports the next phase of growth for the tokenization business.

Securitize’s Role in Tokenization

Founded in 2017, Securitize builds infrastructure for tokenization. This process involves representing traditional financial assets, such as funds and bonds, on blockchain networks.

The company works with several large asset managers. These include BlackRock, Apollo, KKR, Hamilton Lane, and VanEck.

Securitize manages BlackRock’s tokenized money market fund, known as BUIDL. That fund has grown to hold more than $3 billion in total value.

BlackRock and ARK Invest are also early investors in Securitize itself. The firm holds regulatory licenses across the United States and Europe.

Earlier this month, Benchmark Equity Research reiterated a “Buy” rating on Securitize. The firm set a price target of $16, citing the company’s regulatory position as a differentiator.

The tokenization sector has expanded quickly over the past year. According to The Block’s data, the top 15 real-world asset tokenization protocols grew from $9.55 billion to $21.84 billion in total value, a 128% increase.

Industry estimates point to continued growth ahead. Citi has projected tokenized assets could reach $5.5 trillion by 2030. Standard Chartered estimated the market could hit $2 trillion by 2028.

Securitize’s listing gives public market investors a direct way to invest in a company focused solely on tokenization. The firm’s NYSE debut is scheduled for Thursday, July 2.
