Securitize, the blockchain firm known for tokenizing traditional investments, is reportedly in advanced discussions to go public through a merger with a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) backed by Cantor Fitzgerald LP, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The proposed merger with Cantor Equity Partners II Inc. could value Securitize at over $1 billion, the sources said, noting that talks remain ongoing and the company could still choose to remain private. Representatives for both Securitize and Cantor Fitzgerald declined to comment on the reports.
Founded in 2017, Securitize has become one of the leading platforms bringing real-world assets (RWAs) onto blockchains. The firm allows investors to gain tokenized exposure to traditional markets, including S&amp;P indices, corporate debt, and real estate, bridging conventional finance with digital infrastructure.
The company has raised funds from major Wall Street names such as BlackRock Inc. and Morgan Stanley, signaling growing institutional confidence in tokenization as a long-term financial innovation. Among its flagship offerings is BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, a tokenized money market product issued via Securitize’s platform.
The move comes amid a surge in interest around tokenized assets, which many analysts describe as one of the most practical and scalable blockchain applications. Financial giants like JPMorgan, Franklin Templeton, and BlackRock have been exploring similar initiatives to integrate blockchain rails into traditional asset markets.
If finalized, the SPAC merger would mark one of the first major public listings in the asset tokenization space, potentially setting a precedent for other blockchain firms seeking entry into public markets.
