According to official news, Securitize has announced that the company has achieved a tokenization scale of over $5 billion in real-world assets (RWA), claiming to be the first tokenization platform to reach this milestone.Securitize stated that the demand from institutional investors for tokenized assets is growing at an unprecedented rate and reaffirmed its strategic positioning of "Tokenize the World."

According to Cointelegraph, data from RWA.xyz shows that in the past month, the transfer volume of tokenized stocks increased by 105% to $8.41 billion, and the distributed value grew by 43% to $2.16 billion, with the number of holders increasing by 17% to over 409,000.The growth was mainly driven by leading platforms. Among them, Figure's distributed asset value increased by 935% in the past 30 days, Securitize grew by 332%, and xStocks increased by about 62%. In terms of distributed value, Ondo ranked first with approximately $846 million, followed by Stocks, Securitize, and Figure at approximately $708 million, $306 million, and $239 million, respectively.The report stated that tokenized stocks outperformed other RWA sub-segments. During the same period, the distributed asset value of tokenized U.S. Treasuries, the largest asset class, remained flat, while the overall tokenized RWA market grew by only about 4% to $33.5 billion. Over the past year, the tokenized stock market has increased from approximately $37.8 million to $2.16 billion, a growth of about 471%.

According to CoinDesk, New York Stock Exchange-listed company Securitize (SECZ) plans to utilize over $400 million in funds to expand its institutional tokenization platform through the acquisition of complementary businesses, rather than acquiring competitors. Securitize previously went public through a merger with a SPAC under Cantor, retaining about 70% of trust funds, with total fundraising exceeding $400 million.Since its establishment in 2017, the company has issued approximately $4.4 billion in tokenized assets, including BlackRock's $2.2 billion U.S. Treasury money market fund BUIDL and nearly $300 million in Securitize's own tokenized stock, making it one of the largest issuers of tokenized assets currently. CEO Carlos Domingo stated that he is optimistic about the opportunities for stocks and ETFs to be tokenized, noting that even if only 2% of the global equity market, valued at around $140 trillion, is tokenized, it could create a tokenized market of approximately $30 trillion.

According to BBX data, last week the largest listed company in Asia, the BTC reserve party, announced record quarterly coin purchase data, and the world's largest RWA tokenization platform officially landed on the New York Stock Exchange. The core dynamics are as follows:Metaplanet Inc. (TSE: 3350) officially disclosed its Bitcoin accumulation data for Q2 2026 on July 1: throughout the quarter, it purchased 2,823 BTC at an average price of approximately $78,872 (35.4886 billion yen), totaling about $225 million. As of June 30, the total holding increased to 43,000 BTC, with a total cost of about $4.09 billion (overall average price of $95,209). The uniqueness lies in the fact that the company's specialized Bitcoin options trading business generated operating income of $10.95 million in Q2, which, when directly offset against the coin purchase cost, resulted in an effective net purchase average of approximately $75,032 per coin (although still at a discount compared to the current market price of about $61,000, it saves about 4.8% compared to the nominal average of $78,872); the total options income for H1 2026 was $29.2 million, with trailing 12-month options income of $70.7 million; Q2 BTC Yield (holding amount/effective diluted shares ratio) increased by 6.6% year-on-year; the source of funds for this quarter's coin purchases was credit lines, ordinary bond issuance, and options income, without using equity dilution methods. The company also disclosed that it has reached an agreement to acquire the licensed Japanese Type 1 securities firm Siiibo Securities, which will be included in the "Project Nova" strategic expansion plan.Securitize Corp. (NYSE: $SECZ) officially completed its SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners II ($CEPT) at the beginning of July and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange, becoming the world's first NYSE-listed company with tokenized asset infrastructure as its core business. According to CoinDesk, on its first day of listing on the NYSE, the company tokenized $295 million of its own $SECZ stock and simultaneously deployed it on the Solana and Avalanche blockchains, marking the largest issuer-led tokenized public stock release to date. Securitize uses its own stock as a tokenization case to counter third-party synthetic token solutions (i.e., derivative structures without direct ownership) offered by competitors. The company previously managed over $4 billion in tokenized assets and established deep partnerships with NYSE, BlackRock, Computershare, Jump Trading, etc., with Q1 2026 revenue of $19.5 million; after the listing of $SECZ, it will serve as a valuation benchmark anchor for the RWA tokenization track, forming a strong triad in the on-chain asset securitization field alongside Coinbase (Base chain) and Galaxy Digital (institutional RWA lending).

Tokenization infrastructure company Securitize has officially listed on the New York Stock Exchange, with the trading code SECZ. On its first day of trading, the stock price rose by more than 16% at one point and is currently trading around $12.74, with a market capitalization of approximately $1.886 billion.Earlier reports indicated that Securitize's merger with Cantor Equity Partners II (CEPT) SPAC is expected to raise about $400 million. Securitize claims it has obtained regulatory licenses related to digital securities infrastructure in both the United States and the European Union, managing on-chain physical assets exceeding $4 billion.

According to CoinDesk, tokenization infrastructure provider Securitize has received shareholder approval to merge with Cantor Equity Partners II (CEPT) SPAC, with the transaction expected to be completed on Wednesday. The merged company will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday under the stock ticker SECZ. CEPT's stock price surged by 20% at one point during trading on Monday.

According to PR Newswire, Securitize's business combination with SPAC Cantor Equity Partners II (NASDAQ: CEPT) is expected to raise approximately $400 million (including PIPE, not deducting related fees). After the merger is completed, the new company will be renamed Securitize Corp., and its common stock is scheduled to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker "SECZ" starting July 2.The CEPT shareholder meeting is scheduled for June 29 to vote on the transaction, with the current redemption rate being less than 30%. Securitize claims that it has obtained regulatory licenses related to digital securities infrastructure in both the United States and the European Union, managing on-chain physical assets worth over $4 billion.

According to The Block, investment bank Benchmark pointed out in its latest research report that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed to repeal Rule 611 and Rule 610(e) of Regulation NMS, which could become the "most decisive regulatory change" affecting the market structure of cryptocurrencies and tokenized assets in 2026.The proposal was announced on June 11 and aims to eliminate trading protection and quote constraint rules that have been in place for nearly 20 years in the U.S. stock market. The SEC stated that this move is intended to reduce trading costs and provide greater space for market competition and technological innovation.Benchmark's analysis believes that the current Rule 611 (order protection rule) requires trades to adhere to the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO), while Rule 610(e) restricts "locked/crossed quotes." These mechanisms are effective in traditional matching systems but create structural constraints for automated market maker (AMM) models in decentralized finance (DeFi).The report pointed out that if the relevant rules are repealed, it will significantly lower the compliance barriers for tokenized stocks and on-chain trading systems, making AMM-based trading models easier to access the U.S. capital market system.In terms of potential beneficiaries, Benchmark specifically mentioned Securitize, believing that it will benefit most directly as a provider of tokenized securities infrastructure, while Coinbase and Galaxy Digital will also benefit from the expansion of trading, market-making, and custody infrastructure. However, the report also emphasized that the rule adjustments do not address all core issues, such as the exchange registration system, custody and clearing framework, and the legal positioning of DeFi-native trading still needs further clarification.The industry generally expects that the subsequent "innovation exemption mechanism" will become a key supporting policy. The SEC has currently opened a 60-day public comment period on the proposal, and the market anticipates that the final vote may take place in early 2027.

According to The Block, Ethena Labs plans to allocate $250 million to Securitize's Tokenized AAA CLO Fund (STAC), which has been launched on Solana.STAC is issued by Securitize in collaboration with BNY Mellon, investing in dollar-denominated AAA-rated collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), currently managing approximately $102 million, with a 7-day annualized yield of about 2.42% and a management fee of 0.3%.Ethena's move aims to extend the collateral of USDe and USDtb from crypto-native positions to institutional-grade real-world assets, and to collaborate with institutions like Janus Henderson to include its AAA-rated CLO fund JAAA in the USDe reserve portfolio.

According to The Block, Benchmark maintains a "Buy" rating on the tokenized infrastructure company Securitize, with a target price of $16, based on its revenue expectation of approximately $178 million in 2027. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced that the merger registration statement of Securitize and Cantor Equity Partners II is effective, and shareholders will vote on June 29. If approved, the merged company is expected to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ.The report states that Securitize has a differentiated advantage with its compliance license system across the U.S. and Europe, including registration as a broker-dealer, alternative trading system, transfer agent, and fund service provider in the U.S., and holds trading and settlement licenses under the DLT Pilot regulatory framework in the European Union. Securitize currently manages approximately $3.4 billion in tokenized assets, and the size of its market segment has exceeded $30 billion.

According to CoinDesk, Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo stated that tokenized stocks could drive the RWA market from its current approximately $30 billion to $5 trillion. He pointed out that the global stock and ETF market is about $150 trillion, and even if only 2% to 3% is tokenized, it could approach $5 trillion. Domingo believes that tokenized stocks, rather than private credit or government bond products, will be the key driver of this growth.He distinguished "real" tokenized stocks from many offshore blockchain stock products, which rely on derivatives or synthetic structures rather than directly holding the underlying shares. He believes the long-term goal should be to provide blockchain-based securities with the same investor rights as traditional stocks, while enjoying instant settlement, 24/7 transferability, and deep integration with DeFi. Domingo insists that public blockchains, especially Ethereum, remain the preferred infrastructure for institutional tokenization.

According to a Securitize announcement, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced that its Form S-4 registration statement for the merger transaction with SPAC company Cantor Equity Partners II has officially become effective. This means that Securitize's listing process has made significant progress, and CEPT shareholders will hold a special meeting on June 29, 2026, to vote. If approved, the transaction is expected to be completed shortly thereafter.After the transaction is completed, the merged company is expected to operate under the name "Securitize Corp." and be listed on the New York Stock Exchange with the stock ticker "SECZ."

According to The Block, Securitize announced the launch of Hamilton Lane's Senior Credit Opportunities Fund (HLSCOPE) on the TRON blockchain through its compliant tokenization structure, becoming the first Securitize asset issued on TRON. HLSCOPE provides qualified investors with on-chain exposure to Hamilton Lane's opportunity senior credit perpetual fund, relying on TRON's over 383 million accounts, approximately 90 billion dollars in circulating stablecoins, and high-frequency settlement network.

The asset tokenization platform Securitize is advancing its business merger with the Nasdaq-listed SPAC Cantor Equity Partners II (CEPT) and plans to use this to list on Nasdaq. Securitize founder and CEO Carlos Domingo stated that the company has achieved profitability in the asset tokenization field by establishing partnerships with multiple financial institutions and will leverage the SPAC transaction to accelerate expansion, issuing and trading more assets in digital token form beyond stablecoins.

According to The Defiant, BlackRock has submitted a new tokenized fund filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and has once again chosen Securitize to provide infrastructure support. Previously, the first tokenized fund BUIDL launched in collaboration with Securitize was successfully issued in 2024, and its asset size has now reached approximately $2.3 billion.
