Securitize to Go Public at $1.25B Valuation, Pioneering the Future of Tokenized Finance
We’re proud to share that our portfolio company Securitize, the world’s leading platform for tokenizing real-world assets, announced its plans to become a publicly listed company through a definitive business combination with Cantor Equity Partners II (Nasdaq: CEPT), valuing the firm at a $1.25 billion pre-money equity value.
The transaction marks a historic milestone. As the first public, securities-focused tokenization infrastructure company, Securitize is at the forefront of a $19 trillion total addressable market for real-world asset tokenization.
Backed by industry leaders including BlackRock, ARK Invest, Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Apollo, and Hamilton Lane, Securitize operates the most comprehensive, regulated end-to-end tokenization platform in the market. Its SEC-registered entities span transfer agent, broker-dealer, ATS, investment adviser, and fund administration services, uniquely enabling the full lifecycle of digital securities.
To date, Securitize has tokenized more than $4 billion in assets, powering landmark projects such as BlackRock’s BUIDL fund and KKR’s Health Care Strategic Growth Fund II. The company plans to tokenize its own equity as part of the listing.
The transaction includes an upsized $225 million PIPE led by new and existing blue-chip institutional investors such as Arche, Borderless Capital, Hanwha Investment & Securities, InterVest, and ParaFi Capital, strengthening the firm’s balance sheet and accelerating its commercial roadmap.
