Crypto infrastructure company Fireblocks has added support for the Canton Network, allowing financial institutions to custody and settle assets on a privacy-enabled blockchain designed for regulated markets.
Fireblocks just plugged into Canton — and Wall Street's tokenization game just got real.
Fireblocks just dropped support for the Canton Network, letting banks and asset managers custody and settle assets on a privacy-first blockchain built for regulated markets. This isn't just another integration — it's a full-blown institutional settlement rail going live.
The move lets institutions custody Canton Coin (CC) through Fireblocks' NYDFS-chartered trust and use their existing enterprise controls for governed settlement. Translation: banks can now tokenize securities, deposits, and other regulated stuff with private settlement and strict compliance baked in.
Fireblocks isn't just a passenger here — they're running a Super Validator on Canton, meaning they're directly validating transactions and shaping governance. More Canton-based tokens and apps are coming soon, they say.
Context: Fireblocks secures over $5T in digital asset transfers annually, with $10T+ total to date. Over 2,400 orgs use their platform. This isn't a side project — it's core infrastructure going institutional.
Canton's institutional takeover is accelerating
Canton Network — the permissioned blockchain by Digital Asset — has been stacking institutional wins since late 2025:
- • October 2025: BitGo added Canton Coin custody, letting US banks and asset managers hold it via a qualified custodian.
- • November 2025: Franklin Templeton connected its Benji tokenization platform to Canton. Tokenized assets from Benji (including Franklin's onchain US gov money market fund) can now be used as collateral in Canton's Global Collateral Network.
- • December 2025: DTCC said it plans to tokenize a subset of US Treasury securities on Canton, with potential expansion to other assets.
- • Recently: Temple Digital Group launched a private institutional trading platform on Canton — 24/7 trading through a central limit order book with a non-custodial structure.
Canton Coin's price has responded to all this activity — up ~31% over the past three months, per CoinGecko.
