Securitize to Go Public in $1.25 Billion SPAC Deal as Tokenized Asset Market Surges

Securitize, a leading platform for tokenizing real world assets and the technology provider behind BlackRock’s tokenized money market fund, is going public through a $1.25 billion SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners II. The deal would list the combined company, Securitize Corp., on the Nasdaq under the ticker SECZ as soon as January and generate $465 million in gross proceeds. The move comes as tokenized assets surge, with tokenized U.S. Treasurys now worth $8.6 billion and the broader RWA market reaching $35 billion. Securitize currently holds a 20 percent market share and has partnered with major financial firms including BlackRock, Apollo, and KKR. CEO Carlos Domingo believes tokenization will become the standard for the $400 trillion global asset market and says public market access will strengthen Securitize’s role in industry consolidation.

Metaplanet Secures $500 Million BTC Backed Credit Line and Launches 13 Percent Share Buyback to Boost Bitcoin Per Share Ratio

Metaplanet Inc., a major Japanese corporate holder of Bitcoin, secured a $500 million credit facility backed by its BTC reserves and launched a share buyback program covering up to 13 percent of its outstanding stock. The company’s market-to-net-asset value ratio recently fell below parity, prompting management to use financial engineering to increase liquidity and improve its Bitcoin-per-share positioning. Metaplanet currently holds more than 30,000 BTC and aims for 210,000 BTC by 2027. The credit line will support both repurchases and future Bitcoin accumulation without selling core reserves. Shares rose more than 2 percent following the announcement. The move reflects a growing trend where corporate Bitcoin treasuries leverage BTC-backed financing to expand holdings and enhance shareholder value. While potentially powerful, these strategies introduce greater exposure to price volatility and unknown loan terms that could increase risk if collateral values drop.

Polymarket Set for U S Return After Regulatory Reset With POLY Token and Airdrop Planned

Polymarket is preparing to reopen access to U.S. users before the end of November after resolving a 2022 CFTC enforcement case that pushed the company offshore. The relaunch follows Polymarket’s acquisition of QCX, a federally licensed derivatives exchange and clearinghouse, creating a regulatory pathway back into the American market. The prediction market space is rapidly expanding alongside sports betting, highlighted by new NHL licensing deals with both Polymarket and competitor Kalshi. The sector is attracting major investment and record trading volume, with Polymarket and Kalshi surpassing $6.3 billion in volume so far in October. Polymarket’s valuation is now near $9 billion following funding from Intercontinental Exchange. The company has opened a waitlist for U.S. users, and onchain odds suggest an 89 percent chance that its domestic relaunch happens before the end of 2025. Polymarket also confirmed plans for a POLY token and airdrop tied to platform activity, to be launched after the U.S. rollout.
