Fireblocks to Incorporate Canton Network, Introducing Privacy-Oriented Tokenization for Clients

Digital asset infrastructure company Fireblocks has revealed a new integration with the Canton Network, enhancing its compliant infrastructure solutions for tokenization, settlement, and institutional digital asset transactions.

This integration offers custody and operational assistance for Canton Coin (CC) on Fireblocks’ platform, providing financial institutions with a regulated and privacy-centric environment to start settling assets on Canton, utilizing Fireblocks’ enterprise-level policy controls and workflow automation.

Fireblocks, which safeguards over $5 trillion in digital asset transfers annually, stated that this initiative reinforces its role as a fundamental infrastructure layer for regulated digital finance.

Privacy-Enabled Settlement Tailored for Institutional Markets

Canton is an open blockchain network specifically designed for institutional finance, aimed at merging privacy, interoperability, and scalability while facilitating real-time synchronization across regulated markets.

“Canton was engineered to fulfill the privacy, compliance, and scalability needs of institutional finance,” remarked Melvis Langyintuo, Executive Director of the Canton Foundation. “The integration with Fireblocks enhances that vision by providing institutions a reliable, production-ready setting to start engaging with Canton Coin.”

Interest from conventional finance institutions has accelerated Canton’s growth as a favored network for regulated tokenization infrastructure, including tokenized securities, deposits, and settlement processes.

Fireblocks Trust Company Introduces Regulated Custody Support

Fireblocks indicated that custody for Canton Coin will be facilitated through Fireblocks Trust Company, a qualified custodian licensed by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS).

This trust structure offers institutional clients a regulatory-compliant custody framework tailored to meet the fiduciary and risk management standards anticipated by large financial entities.

The update also incorporates Fireblocks’ MPC security architecture and governance controls, enabling institutions to operate on Canton with the safeguards necessary for institutional-scale adoption.

A Pathway for Regulated Tokenization and Digital Instruments

Stephen Richardson, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Banking at Fireblocks, stated that institutions require infrastructure that aligns with conventional operational expectations.

“Institutions examining tokenized assets and regulated digital finance necessitate infrastructure that corresponds with their operational methods — confidentially, predictably, and with robust governance,” Richardson noted.

Growing Demand?

Chris Zuehlke, Partner at DRW and Global Co-Head of Cumberland, explains that Canton’s architecture is exceptionally suited for traditional finance users looking for compliant blockchain infrastructure.

“Canton is specifically crafted for regulated markets and provides the privacy, interoperability, and scalability that will be sought after by traditional finance users,” Zuehlke mentioned. “Fireblocks’ institutional-grade wallet offers the secure operational foundation necessary for engaging with Canton at scale.”
