Securitize tokenized over $265 million of its own stock through a SPAC with Cantor Equity Partners, while also pursuing a traditional listing. CEO Carlos Domingo believes the tokenized equity market is not yet ready to operate solely on-chain due to liquidity concerns.
“So you also did a SPAC with Cantor Equity Partners too, and you tokenized more than $265 million worth of your own stock. So why did you go both routes?”
“So I don't think that today the tokenized equity market is ready for just only be traded on chain. I don't think there is enough liquidity if you look at the size of a market, is very small between I think us and Figure and Superstate, which are the only ones that do in like real tokenization where the token does represent equity, it is around I don't know, $600 million or something like that.”
“So we thought let's do a traditional listing, let's list on the New York Stock Exchange in our case, but there at the same time put our shares on chain for people that want to trade them.”
