NEW YORK — Securitize began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, July 2, 2026, under the ticker symbol SECZ. The listing followed a business combination with Cantor Equity Partners II and the simultaneous launch of tokenized shares of its common stock on the Solana and Avalanche blockchains.

The company raised $400 million from its public offering, with the deal valuing Securitize at $1.25 billion. Approximately 71 percent of the Special Purpose Acquisition Company's cash pool remained in the merger, rather than being withdrawn by investors. Securitize stock opened at $12.45, reached a midday high of $13.70, and closed at $12.30 on its first day of trading.

Securitize stated that the tokenized shares represent the same shares trading on the NYSE and are not a synthetic wrapper. Access to these tokenized shares is restricted to eligible U.S. investors who have completed identity verification checks. Blockchain data from RWA.xyz indicated roughly $295 million in tokenized SECZ shares at launch.

Brett Redfearn, President of Securitize, said the company would issue a tokenized version of its own stock as it began trading on the public market. "Today is a watershed event in the process of bringing traditional services on-chain," Redfearn said. "We're at a tipping point in tokenization."

Securitize was founded in 2017 by Carlos Domingo and Jamie Finn. The Miami-based company manages $3.4 billion in tokenized assets across 650 active institutional funds. It reported first-quarter revenue of $19.5 million, a 39% increase from the same period the previous year.

In 2024, BlackRock led a $47 million investment into Securitize. The companies collaborated to develop a tokenized money market fund known as BUIDL. Securitize has also partnered with the NYSE on a planned platform intended for trading tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds.
