Why it matters

The reverse merger converts Securitize from private to public status, giving it access to public capital markets and enabling shareholders to trade their stakes, while CEPT shareholders' economic interest reduces to 14.5% of the combined entity, and the new public vehicle operates Securitize's digital asset platform and tokenization business.
