Securitize, a digital asset platform for tokenizing real-world assets, and Cantor Equity Partners II (Nasdaq: CEPT), a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) sponsored by an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald, revealed that on November 12, 2025, Securitize Holdings, Inc. (Pubco), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Securitize, confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The filing was anticipated, as it had been previously reported that a SPAC deal was in the works to take Securitize public.
Upon completion of the suggested transaction, the combined entity will be renamed Securitize Corp. and will trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “SECZ.”
Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Securitize, said that the confidential submission of their S-4 marks a key milestone toward bringing tokenization to the public markets.
Domingo added that for 8 years, they’ve built the regulatory infrastructure, tech, and partnerships to enable the so-called next-gen of finance and they’re now eager to take this next step with Cantor as they “work to make regulated, onchain finance accessible to institutions and investors.”
The completion of the transaction described now remains “subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of CEPT shareholders and the effectiveness of the registration statement.”
As covered, Securitize is tokenizing the world with $4B+ AUM (as of Oct 2025) through tokenized funds and equities in partnership with top-tier asset managers, such “as Apollo, BlackRock, Hamilton Lane, KKR, VanEck and others.”
Securitize, via its subsidiaries, is a SEC-registered broker dealer, digital transfer agent, fund administrator and “operator of a SEC-regulated Alternative Trading System (ATS).”
As noted in the update, Cantor Equity Partners II, Inc. is a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of “effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.”
CEPT is led by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Brandon Lutnick and sponsored by “an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald. ”
As mentioned in the announcement, Cantor Fitzgerald, with more than 14,000 employees, is a financial services and real estate services holding company.
Its group of companies reportedly provides a range of products, such as investment banking, asset and investment management, capital markets, prime services, research, digital assets, data, financial and commodities brokerage, trade execution, clearing, settlement, advisory, financial tech, custodial, commercial real estate advisory and servicing.
