Overview

  • DRW Venture Capital and Tradeweb Markets led the $135 million strategic round alongside Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, Citadel Securities and other global finance firms.
  • Digital Asset will use the proceeds to integrate additional bonds, commodities and money market funds onto the Canton Network.
  • Canton’s architecture combines a public, permissionless blockchain with configurable privacy controls that let issuers set asset-specific confidentiality.
  • Since going open-source, the network has grown to support trillions of dollars in tokenized bonds, repos, mortgages, alternative funds and more.
  • Institutional investors and service providers—including Circle Ventures, DTCC, Virtu Financial and Paxos—have expanded their participation to bolster Canton’s infrastructure.
