Securitize, a blockchain firm focused on tokenizing traditional investments, is reportedly in talks to go public through a merger with Cantor Equity Partners II Inc., a SPAC backed by Cantor Fitzgerald. The potential deal could value Securitize at over $1 billion, highlighting significant progress in the real-world asset tokenization sector. Securitize, which counts BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, and ARK Venture Fund among its backers, operates a regulated platform that tokenizes assets such as S&P indices and U.S. Treasuries. The platform also supports BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, managing over $2.8 billion in tokenized assets. If successful, the merger would position Securitize as a public leader in integrating traditional capital markets with blockchain technology. Talks are ongoing, with no official comments from either party.
