We advised Securitize on the transaction

Davis Polk advised Securitize Corp. on its business combination with Cantor Equity Partners II, Inc. (CEPT), through which Securitize became a publicly listed company. The business combination valued Securitize at approximately $1.25 billion. It resulted in cash proceeds to Securitize of approximately $400 million from CEPT’s trust account (with only 28.5% of CEPT’s public shareholders exercising their redemption rights) and the related PIPE financing. The business combination closed on July 1, 2026. The combined company was renamed Securitize Corp., and its common stock is expected to commence trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “SECZ” on July 2, 2026.

Securitize is the world’s leader in tokenizing real-world assets with more than $4 billion of assets under management (as of June 2026), bringing the world onchain through tokenized funds in partnership with top-tier asset managers, such as Apollo, BlackRock, BNY, Hamilton Lane, KKR, VanEck and others.

The Davis Polk corporate team included partners Derek Dostal, Lee Hochbaum, Joseph A. Hall and Daniel P. Gibbons, counsel Arisa Akashi Sin and F. Adam Abulawi and associates Muxuan (Muriel) Wang and Willa Lu. Partner Veronica M. Wissel provided executive compensation advice. Partner Kara L. Mungovan provided tax advice.
