Report: Tokenization Firm Securitize Weighs $1B SPAC Deal With Cantor Fitzgerald

According to the report, discussions reportedly involve Cantor Equity Partners II Inc., a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that could value Securitize at more than $1 billion. The sources, who requested anonymity because the talks are private, said deliberations are ongoing and that Securitize could still opt to remain private.

Bloomberg’s reporters further said that representatives from both Securitize and Cantor declined to comment. Securitize, backed by major investors such as Blackrock, ARK Venture Fund, Morgan Stanley, and Nomura Holdings, specializes in tokenizing traditional assets, including S&P index funds and Blackrock’s tokenized fund BUIDL. The fund is the largest tokenized U.S. treasury fund by market cap, with $2.82 billion under the hood.

If completed, the deal would mark one of the first major public listings in the emerging market for real-world asset ( RWA) tokenization, highlighting Wall Street’s growing interest in using blockchain technology to bring conventional investments like U.S. bonds, stocks, commodities, and real estate onto digital ledgers.
