Securitize is moving toward a public listing through a SPAC merger, valuing the company at approximately $1.25 billion. With backing from major investors and a sizeable PIPE financing round, the deal signals the growing maturity of token-based asset issuance.
The company has announced plans to merge with a SPAC vehicle, enabling it to list on the Nasdaq and accelerate its ambition to become a publicly traded leader in tokenized asset securities. The proposed valuation of around $1.25 billion reflects confidence in the firm’s role in bridging traditional finance and blockchain-based asset issuance. One key feature of the deal: the firm intends to tokenize its own equity, enabling shares to trade and transfer using blockchain rails—blurring the lines between conventional public equities and on-chain securities.
Existing investors — including some of the largest names in asset management and blockchain investment — are rolling their stakes into the combined entity, indicating alignment and long-term belief in the business model. The transaction also includes a significant additional investment round (via PIPE) to provide fresh capital and institutional support.
From a strategic perspective, the firm already supports issuance of billions in on-chain securities—covering private equity shares, credit instruments and real-estate tokens—and works with major financial institutions to tokenise assets. This gives the startup a strong footing as it enters the public markets.
Tokenization infrastructure goes public
However, listing via SPAC and navigating the regulatory, operational and scaling challenges of tokenised securities infrastructure are non-trivial. Integrating asset-token issuance, custody and secondary-market trading under public-company standards will test the firm’s capabilities.
Moreover, as blockchain-based securities become more regulated, the company will need to satisfy both traditional securities laws and newer tokenization frameworks. If executed well, the listing could mark a milestone for the tokenisation sector—moving it from niche to mainstream. In summary: the company’s move to go public is a clear sign that tokenised-asset infrastructure is gaining serious traction; now the key will be execution, adoption and regulatory clarity.
