Securitize (SECZ) plans to use its newly-strengthened balance sheet to pursue acquisitions and expand its tokenization business following its public listing on the New York Stock Exchange, CEO Carlos Domingo told CoinDesk in an interview published July 6, 2026.
The Strategic Vision
Securitize will not pursue rival acquisitions, according to Domingo. "They're not going to bring anything to me that I don't have in terms of tech," he said. Instead, the company is focused on businesses that complement its institutional tokenization offering, aiming to build a broader one-stop shop for customers across issuance, custody, transfer agency, and fund administration services.
The company retained roughly 70% of the SPAC trust from its merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, giving it fresh capital to fund its next phase of growth. Securitize's institutional client roster includes BlackRock, Apollo, KKR, Hamilton Lane, and VanEck.
Tokenized Assets Pipeline
Securitize has issued roughly $4.4 billion in tokenized assets, including BlackRock's $2.2 billion tokenized US Treasury money market fund BUIDL and nearly $300 million of tokenized Securitize shares, making it the largest tokenized asset issuer according to RWA.xyz data.
Earlier this year, NYSE parent Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) partnered with Securitize to develop infrastructure for tokenized equities. The company also teamed up with transfer agents Computershare and Continental to enable public companies to issue shares directly on blockchain rails — eliminating third-party wrapper structures that introduce settlement risk.
The Tokenized Equity Opportunity
Domingo highlighted tokenized equities and ETFs as one of the largest untapped opportunities for the sector. "Tokenized equities and ETFs is something we think moves the needle significantly," he said. "Even 2% moving onchain is already $3 trillion [market size]."
The broader tokenization market has grown rapidly as banks, asset managers, and exchanges embrace blockchain-based financial infrastructure. Tokenized real-world assets now exceed $32 billion across all platforms, per RWA.xyz. Citi has projected tokenized securities could grow into a $5.5 trillion market by 2030, while Boston Consulting Group and Ripple estimate the sector could reach $18.9 trillion by 2033.
DTCC, the backbone of US securities settlement overseeing more than $114 trillion in assets, recently unveiled plans to introduce a tokenized securities platform targeting an October 2026 launch — validating the infrastructure that companies like Securitize have been building for years.
