Securitize, a leading real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform, has made moves to go public. According to a report, Securitize will collaborate with Cantor Equity Partners II, Inc., a blank-check firm owned by Cantor Fitzgerald.
The details of the partnership are still guarded, but talks are ongoing on how to make the deal happen. Meanwhile, following the report, shares of the firm surged by 12.5% as a positive reaction to the move.
Notably, Securitize, which oversees $4.62 billion in tokenized RWA, is aiming for a $1 billion valuation. Its partner, Cantor Equity, which is listed on Nasdaq as CEPT, has already raised $240 million in its initial public offering (IPO). The firm has also gone ahead to deposit said amount into its trust along with a $5.8 million sponsor placement.
Securitize is renowned in the crypto world for supporting BlackRock’s tokenized fund, BUIDL. The company has also raised funds from Blockchain Capital, Morgan Stanley Tactical Value, Coinbase Ventures, and many other VC firms.
Worth mentioning is that if successful, the $1 billion valuation could make the entity a massive force in the sector. Currently, Securitize’s numbers show that in the last 30 days, its monthly transfer volume soared by 925.71% to $1.67 billion with 71 active addresses.
Real-world asset tokenization is gaining traction in crypto and is touted for its utility in blockchains. In September 2025, the market cap of the sector climbed to a new all-time high (ATH) of approximately $76 billion from $67 billion.
There has been a significant adoption of tokenization protocols not just by institutions but by governments as well. This is targeted at modernizing traditional finance as digital assets’ integration continues to grow.
Interestingly, BlackRock is pushing to democratize finance by exploring ways to tokenize its ETF. This might further increase adoption as it adds authenticity to the tokenization trend.
As the broader crypto community anticipates finalization of the deal between Securitize and Cantor Equity Partners II Inc., market observers predict increased impact once sealed.
At the time of press, none of the representatives for either Securitize or Cantor Equity agreed to comment on the deal.
