Securitize lands on CNBC and Statista’s top fintech list weeks after going public
The tokenization firm's back-to-back wins signal that Wall Street's interest in real-world asset tokenization is no longer theoretical
Securitize, the digital asset firm that tokenizes real-world assets for institutional clients, was named one of 40 companies in the digital assets segment of the CNBC and Statista 2026 fintech list. The recognition arrives just weeks after the company went public through a SPAC merger, raising $400 million in the process.
What the list actually means
The CNBC/Statista annual fintech report evaluates roughly 3,500 companies using a range of KPIs and performance metrics. Out of that enormous pool, 500 firms make the cut across various categories. Securitize landed in the digital assets segment, one of 40 companies selected for that specific category.
Securitize also appears on the Forbes 2026 Fintech 50 list, specifically in the blockchain and digital assets segment. Forbes noted $425 million in funding metrics for the firm.
The SPAC debut and what it signals
On July 2, 2026, Securitize completed its public listing through a merger with Cantor Equity Partners II, a special purpose acquisition company. The deal raised $400 million, and shares rose 3% on their first day of trading.
BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is among Securitize’s investors.
What this means for investors
Securitize’s dual recognition on the CNBC/Statista and Forbes lists, combined with its successful public listing, creates an interesting case study for anyone tracking the convergence of traditional finance and blockchain technology.
The company now trades publicly, which means retail and institutional investors alike can take a direct position in the tokenization thesis without having to navigate crypto exchanges or venture capital minimums.
