Securitize Strengthens Industry Leadership
The IPO will solidify Securitize’s position as a leader in the tokenization space. Having facilitated over $4 billion in tokenized assets, the company is poised to attract further attention as a public entity.
Securitize offers a comprehensive ecosystem, integrating with major blockchains and financial institutions. It is distinguished as the first vertically-integrated tokenization provider registered with the SEC, with firms such as BlackRock and Apollo utilizing its services for fund tokenization.
“This is a pivotal moment for Securitize and the future of finance,” said Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO of Securitize. “Our mission has always been to democratize capital markets by making them more accessible, transparent, and efficient through tokenization. This marks a new chapter in how financial markets operate at internet speed and a new phase in our journey to bring the next generation of on-chain financing and tokenization to the world.”
Securitize’s public debut is expected to accelerate the adoption of tokenization in traditional financial markets. Brandon Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, stated:
“We believe that blockchain technology holds enormous potential to transform finance, and our partnership with Securitize underscores our confidence in tokenization as a fundamental force in the next era of capital markets.”
According to recent data, the market for real-world asset tokenization has surged by 135% in the past year, reaching a total value of $35 billion. Analysts at Citi predict that the market for risk-weighted tokenized assets could reach nearly $4 trillion by 2030.
