Securitize, the tokenization specialist backed by BlackRock, moved a step closer to becoming a publicly traded company after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved a key filing tied to its planned merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). The deal now heads to a shareholder vote scheduled for June 29. If approved, the transaction is expected to close shortly thereafter, with the combined company trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker "SECZ."
