Cantor Equity Partners II shareholders approved the proposed business combination with Securitize, moving one of crypto’s largest tokenization platforms to the final stage before its New York Stock Exchange debut.
The transaction is expected to close on July 1, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. The combined company will operate as Securitize Corp. and is expected to begin trading on the NYSE on July 2 under the ticker SECZ.
The vote removes the last major shareholder hurdle after CEPT previously cleared a stronger-than-usual redemption test for a SPAC transaction. Less than 30% of CEPT Class A ordinary shares were redeemed, leaving 71.5% of the trust intact before the vote and keeping the transaction on track to raise about $400 million in gross proceeds.
That earlier low-redemption update helped strengthen the deal before shareholders voted. High redemptions can drain SPAC cash before closing, but Securitize entered the vote with most trust capital still available alongside PIPE financing.
Securitize will become one of the clearest public-market equities tied directly to real-world asset tokenization. The company provides tokenization infrastructure for asset managers, issuers and investors, including issuance, transfer-agent services, broker-dealer functions, fund administration and secondary-market rails.
The listing path had already advanced after the SEC declared the merger registration statement effective. That Form S-4 clearance set up the June 29 shareholder meeting and gave CEPT investors the formal basis to vote on the transaction.
Securitize has tokenized more than $4 billion in assets across products connected to major financial firms, including BlackRock, Apollo, Hamilton Lane, KKR and VanEck. Existing backers including BlackRock, ARK Invest and Morgan Stanley Investment Management are rolling their holdings into the combined company.
The deal was built around a $1.25 billion pre-money equity valuation. It also includes an upsized $225 million PIPE, with investors such as Arche, Borderless Capital, Hanwha Investment & Securities, InterVest and ParaFi Capital participating in the financing.
The public listing comes as tokenized Treasuries, money-market funds and private-market products keep moving deeper into institutional finance. Securitize is the tokenization provider behind BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, one of the largest tokenized Treasury and money-market products in the market.
That connection has become more important as stablecoin issuers, asset managers and payment companies look for tokenized cash equivalents that can move across blockchain rails. BlackRock’s broader tokenized money-market push already placed BUIDL at the center of institutional demand for onchain dollar products.
Securitize also gained fresh relevance through Ethena’s latest rollout, where a $100 million Securitize facility supports swaps between BUIDL tokenized Treasuries and stablecoins such as USDe, USDC and USDtb outside normal banking hours.
The shareholder approval now turns SECZ from a planned listing into a near-term trading event. Securitize Corp. is expected to close the business combination on July 1 and begin NYSE trading on July 2 under SECZ, backed by about $400 million in expected gross proceeds.
