Benchmark starts Cantor Equity Partners II at Buy on Securitize potential

As previously reported, Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer initiated coverage of Cantor Equity Partners II (CEPT) with a Buy rating and $16 price target as Securitize prepares to go public via its merger with the SPAC. Securitize “stands at the epicenter of the most profound transformation in capital markets since the advent of electronic trading,” namely the tokenization of real-world assets, the analyst tells investors. The company already controls about 70% of the RWA tokenization market in the U.S. and is “uniquely positioned to capture a slice of a total addressable market,” the analyst added.
