Securitize, the tokenization infrastructure provider, has taken a major step toward going public — and its revenue trajectory gives the move momentum. In a registration statement filed with the SEC Wednesday, Securitize confirmed plans to merge with Cantor Fitzgerald-backed blank-check company Cantor Equity Partners II (CEPT). If the deal clears shareholder and regulatory hurdles, the combined company would list on Nasdaq under the ticker SECZ. Surging revenue Securitize told regulators it earned $55.6 million in revenue during the first nine months of 2025 — an eye‑popping 841% jump compared with the same period in 2024. For context, full-year revenue for 2024 was $18.8 million, more than double the prior year. Those gains underscore rapidly accelerating demand for tokenization services. What Securitize does Securitize builds the plumbing that converts traditional financial assets — U.S. Treasuries, funds, equities and similar instruments — into blockchain-based tokens that can be issued, traded and managed more efficiently. The company’s platform is positioned to help institutional players move conventional securities onto blockchain rails while preserving regulatory and compliance frameworks. Market and deal context The merger with CEPT still needs sign-off from shareholders and regulators. The potential listing comes as tokenization is gaining traction among global banks and asset managers; firms such as JPMorgan and BlackRock have been experimenting with or adding tokenized products. A report from Boston Consulting Group and Ripple projects the tokenized-asset market could expand to about $18.9 trillion by 2033. Market reaction The filing arrived against a weak market backdrop: many crypto-linked stocks slid 5%–10% amid pressure on bitcoin and tech names on Thursday. CEPT bucked that trend, trading about 4.4% higher late in the session. Why it matters Securitize’s revenue jump and pending SPAC tie-up reflect broader institutional interest in tokenization as a way to modernize securities issuance and clearing. If the Nasdaq listing goes through, Securitize would be one of the higher-profile pure-play tokenization companies to hit public markets, potentially accelerating adoption among incumbents and investors watching the convergence of traditional finance and blockchain.
