The tokenization platform leader earned Florida's top entrepreneurial honor as Securitize crosses $4 billion in tokenized assets and eyes a public listing

Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO of Securitize, took home the EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2026 award for Florida on June 12. Securitize now reports over $4 billion in tokenized assets and more than 580,000 investor accounts.

From tokenized VC fund to BlackRock partner #

Domingo and co-founder Jamie Finn launched SPiCE VC, one of the first tokenized venture capital funds, before founding Securitize in 2017. Securitize has since grown into the largest blockchain-based transfer agent in the US.

In 2026, Securitize announced key partnerships with BlackRock, the New York Stock Exchange, and Computershare. Securitize also posted 39% year-over-year revenue growth in Q1 2026.

The SPAC, the listing, and the $5 trillion thesis #

Securitize is advancing toward a public listing through a SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners II. Domingo estimates that tokenized equities and ETFs could unlock a $5 trillion market opportunity, a significant leap from the current tokenization market size of approximately $30 billion.

Regulatory tailwinds are real #

Recent regulatory updates include bank guidance on tokenized securities and FINRA approvals that support expanded onchain securities trading.

What this means for investors #

If the merger with Cantor Equity Partners II closes successfully, it would give public market investors direct exposure to tokenization infrastructure at scale. Securitize’s combination of regulatory compliance, institutional partnerships, $4 billion in tokenized assets, and 580,000 investor accounts positions it as the largest-scale operator in the tokenization infrastructure space.
