Overview
- Securitize appointed Brett Redfearn on Thursday as president and added him to its board, elevating a former SEC Division of Trading and Markets director.
- Redfearn will help scale the platform’s issuance, trading, and fund administration lines, with CEO Carlos Domingo highlighting his market-structure expertise.
- Securitize is preparing for a proposed public listing through a business combination with Cantor Equity Partners II, which remains subject to approvals.
