• Shareholder vote on June 29, approval leads to NYSE listing
• Strong operational performance: Q1 revenue of $19.5 million
• RWA tokenization market surges: May on-chain volume exceeds $32 billion

The world's largest RWA tokenization platform, Securitize, is just one step away from going public. On Friday, Securitize announced that the SEC has officially declared its S-4 registration statement with Cantor Fitzgerald's SPAC, Cantor Equity Partners II (CEPT), effective. This clears a key regulatory hurdle for the SPAC merger listing of this global leader in RWA tokenization.

Shareholder vote on June 29, approval leads to NYSE listing

Securitize founder and CEO Carlos Domingo stated in the announcement that this development marks "another important milestone for Securitize and the entire tokenization industry." Over the past few years, the company has partnered with top global financial institutions to build a regulated on-chain capital markets infrastructure. Becoming a listed company will enable further scaling of this system.

According to the schedule, CEPT shareholders will hold a special meeting on June 29, 2026, to vote on the merger. If approved, the combined entity will be renamed Securitize Corp. and listed on the NYSE under the ticker "SECZ." Investors will then be able to participate directly in the rapid growth of this leading global RWA tokenization company.

The NYSE had already signed a memorandum of understanding with Securitize in March this year to jointly develop blockchain-based Wall Street stock trading infrastructure. Additionally, Securitize has partnered with Computershare to launch issuer-sponsored tokenized stocks and integrated market participants like Jump Trading and Jupiter to expand tokenized securities trading infrastructure.

Strong operational performance: Q1 revenue of $19.5 million

Securitize currently manages assets worth $4 billion, collaborating with top asset managers such as Apollo, BlackRock, BNY, and VanEck. The BUIDL fund, in partnership with BlackRock, has become one of the largest tokenized treasury funds in the market. The company also plans to launch BlackRock's second tokenized fund, the BlackRock Daily Reinvestment Stablecoin Reserve Vehicle.

Financially, Securitize reported first-quarter revenue of $19.5 million this year, a 39% increase from the same period last year, indicating continued operational momentum.

RWA tokenization market surges: May on-chain volume exceeds $32 billion

Despite the overall crypto market being in a bear phase, data from RWA.xyz shows that the management scale of real-world assets (RWA) in decentralized finance (DeFi) continues to hit record highs. As of May this year, the total on-chain RWA value excluding stablecoins reached $32 billion, a roughly 220% increase over the past 12 months.

Nearly half of this consists of tokenized U.S. Treasuries, about 16% of tokenized commodities; while tokenized stocks currently account for only 4.8% (around $1.5 billion), the market expects explosive growth as compliant pioneers like Securitize go public. Citigroup previously estimated that the securities tokenization market could soar to $5.5 trillion by 2030.

From the underlying blockchain perspective, Ethereum and Layer 2 networks remain the dominant players in the tokenization market, collectively holding over 60% market share.
