Securitize Files for SEC Registration, Advances Plan to Go Public via CEPT Merger

Tokenization firm Securitize has taken a major step toward becoming a publicly traded company after filing a public registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing advances Securitize’s plan to go public through a merger with Cantor Equity Partners II (CEPT), a special purpose acquisition company backed by financial services giant Cantor Fitzgerald.

According to the filing submitted Wednesday, Securitize reported strong financial growth, highlighting rising demand for blockchain-based financial infrastructure. The company generated $55.6 million in revenue during the first nine months of 2025, representing an 841% increase compared with the same period in 2024. For the full year 2024, Securitize posted $18.8 million in revenue, more than double its earnings from the prior year, underscoring accelerating adoption of tokenized assets.

Market reaction to the news was notably positive. While many crypto-related stocks experienced sharp declines of 5% to 10% amid broader selloffs in bitcoin and technology equities on Thursday, shares of CEPT climbed 4.4% late in the trading session. The divergence reflects investor optimism around tokenization as a growing segment within digital finance.

Securitize specializes in providing infrastructure that enables traditional financial assets—such as U.S. Treasuries, investment funds, and equity securities—to be tokenized and managed on blockchain networks. By converting real-world assets into digital tokens, the platform allows for more efficient issuance, trading, compliance, and settlement processes, positioning itself at the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain technology.

The proposed merger with Cantor Equity Partners II is still subject to regulatory review and shareholder approval. If finalized, Securitize is expected to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol SECZ, marking a significant milestone for the tokenization industry.

The deal comes as asset tokenization continues to gain momentum across global finance. Major institutions including JPMorgan and BlackRock have expanded offerings involving tokenized assets. A joint report from Boston Consulting Group and Ripple projects the tokenized asset market could reach $18.9 trillion by 2033, highlighting the long-term growth potential of this emerging sector.
