NYSE to List Securitize’s SECZ Stock on July 2 in Market Debut

Securitize, Inc., a real-world asset (RWA) tokenizer, and Cantor Equity Partners II, Inc., a special purpose acquisition company, announced that their combined company will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol SECZ on July 2, 2026. 

According to the official release, the business combination, originally announced on October 28, 2025, is nearing completion. CEPT shareholders are scheduled to vote on the proposed merger at a special meeting on June 29, 2026. Assuming approval and satisfaction of customary closing conditions, the transaction will close shortly thereafter, with the new entity operating as Securitize Corp. and listing on the NYSE as SECZ.

“Reaching the public markets is a significant milestone for Securitize and a reflection of the growing momentum behind tokenization,” said Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Securitize. 

“When we started more than eight years ago, the idea that major institutions would embrace tokenized securities was still largely theoretical. Today, tokenization is moving into the mainstream, and we believe becoming a public company gives us the visibility, credibility, and capital to lead that next phase of growth,” he further added. 

The company also announced that less than 30% of CEPT Class A ordinary shares were redeemed. As a result, the company expects to receive approximately $400 million in gross proceeds from the upcoming business combination, including PIPE financing.

Who will act as an advisor

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (Citi) is acting as financial and capital markets advisor to Securitize, while Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. serves in the same role for CEPT. Both firms are acting as co-placement agents for the PIPE financing. Legal advisors include Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP for Securitize, Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP for CEPT, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP for Citi and Cantor.

The transaction structure follows a standard SPAC merger path. Following SEC approval of the Form S-4 registration statement, the deal is now subject primarily to shareholder approval. Upon closing, existing Securitize shareholders will roll into the public company, providing the firm with enhanced capital resources and a publicly traded currency for potential acquisitions and partnerships.

Securitize Strikes Back in tZERO Patent Dispute Ahead of NYSE Listing

As Securitize prepares to go public on the NYSE under ticker SECZ on July 2, it has taken a firm stand in its escalating legal battle with tZERO. On June 23, the company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware seeking a declaratory judgment that it does not infringe any of tZERO’s patents. 

Securitize described tZERO’s infringement claims as meritless and contrary to the collaborative spirit of the blockchain industry. However, tZERO publicly defended its intellectual property position on X by claiming patent protections remain a fundamental part of building a tokenization industry capable of attracting institutional capital. 

Success is not guaranteed 

Securitize’s upcoming NYSE listing under SECZ on July 2 could potentially boost visibility and capital access amid improving regulatory clarity and rising institutional interest in real-world assets (RWA). 

However, challenges remain. The company faces an ongoing patent dispute with rival tZERO, which could result in costly litigation or restrictions. As a former private company transitioning via SPAC, it must navigate integration risks, shareholder approval on June 29, and heightened public market scrutiny. 

Success is not guaranteed in a volatile crypto-adjacent market where competition is intensifying and regulatory outcomes remain uncertain. The listing will test whether tokenization’s promise can deliver sustainable value for public investors.
