Crypto infrastructure provider Fireblocks has integrated the Canton Network, enabling financial institutions to custody and settle assets on a privacy-focused blockchain built for regulated markets.
The integration supports governed settlement of Canton Coin (CC) via Fireblocks’ platform and its New York Department of Financial Services–chartered trust entity. The service targets banks, custodians and asset managers evaluating tokenized securities, deposits and other regulated instruments that require private settlement and strict controls.
Through Fireblocks, institutions can custody Canton Coin and apply the platform’s enterprise policy controls and workflow automation when settling on the Canton Network. Fireblocks also operates a Super Validator on Canton, giving it a direct role in transaction validation and network governance. The company said it expects to add support for additional Canton-based tokens and applications over time.
Fireblocks reports securing more than $5 trillion in digital asset transfers annually and supporting over $10 trillion in total transfers to date, with more than 2,400 organizations using its platform.
Institutional adoption of Canton has been building through late 2025 and early 2026. In October, digital asset custodian BitGo added support for Canton Coin, enabling U.S. banks and asset managers to custody the token through a qualified custodian. About a month later, Franklin Templeton connected its Benji tokenization platform to Canton, allowing tokenized assets issued via Benji — including an on-chain U.S. government money market fund — to be used for collateral and liquidity within Canton’s Global Collateral Network. In December, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) announced plans to mint a subset of U.S. Treasury securities on Canton, with potential expansion to other assets. More recently, Temple Digital Group launched a private institutional trading platform on Canton that offers continuous, 24/7 trading through a central limit order book with a non-custodial structure.
Canton’s native token, Canton Coin, has risen alongside network activity, gaining about 31% over the past three months, according to CoinGecko data.
