Canton Network (CC)

🔥@CantonNetwork raised $355M: RWA continues to be the story attracting money into crypto 📌Digital Asset, the company behind Canton Network, just raised $355M in a funding round led by a16z crypto. Other participants include HSBC, BNP Paribas, ABN Amro, SBI Group, SoFi, Apollo, ADIA, Tradeweb, Broadridge, CME Ventures, S&P Global, Coinbase Ventures, Polychain, Citadel Securities and Optiver. 📌Looking at the investor list, Canton is pulling major traditional financial players into crypto: banks, funds, exchanges, market makers, custodians, and crypto VCs. 📌Canton differs from current L1s that still sell the decentralized dream. Digital Asset says Canton now has over 700 ecosystem members, aiming to bring assets, applications, and managed workflows on-chain. 📌The biggest piece is DTCC. At the end of 2025, DTCC and Digital Asset will announce a partnership to tokenize a portion of U.S. Treasury bonds held at DTC on the Canton Network. The plan is to run an MVP in a controlled production environment in early 2026, then scale up based on customer demand. 📌Broadridge has deployed the Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR) platform on Canton, processing roughly $280 B of repo volume per day on average. This is why Broadridge plays a major role in the mint/burn activities of the $CC token – which is tied to the level of usage of the Canton network. 📌It cannot be denied that Canton has product‑market fit within institutional finance infrastructure. If DTCC rolls it out strongly, Canton could evolve from a repo‑servicing network into the tokenization infrastructure layer of the U.S. capital market. 📌If nothing changes, RWA will remain a big trend in the coming season.

🚨UPDATE: @Grayscale Investments has filed with the U.S. SEC to launch a spot Canton Coin ETF, offering regulated exposure to CC for traditional investors. https://t.co/9nCE6imntL

Trying to catch the exact bottom is how retail stays poor. $BTC dumped hard, alts bled twice as much. Apathy deeper than the January lows. The cycles warned us early. ~3 months of bear left if so - painful, boring, fake rebounds on repeat. But this is exactly when the best altcoins fall back to prices euphoria erased. I'm not catching knives. I'm filling a basket. 7 alts I'm buying on discount: 1. @CantonNetwork ($CC) - Institutions are already using Canton, not just “watching” it. It generated serious fees recently and sits directly in the RWA / tokenized finance trend. If this sector keeps growing, $CC is one of the names that can benefit first. 2. @chainlink ($LINK) - Chainlink is not exciting, but it is hard to remove from the institutional crypto stack. RWA projects need oracles, reserves data, CCIP and price feeds. If tokenized assets keep expanding, $LINK keeps getting pulled into that flow. 3. @Mantle_Official ($MNT) - Mantle is backed by Bybit, has a huge treasury and keeps expanding into the main directions of crypto: ETH yield, tokenized assets, banking, and ecosystem products. It dumped with the market, but the structure behind it didn’t disappear. 4. @opentensor ($TAO) - AI is not going away because prices dumped. Bittensor has subnets generating revenue, signing customers and building real AI infrastructure. If AI rotation comes back, $TAO is still one of the first names people look at. 5. @aave ($AAVE) - Aave is one of the few DeFi protocols that actually works as a business. People borrow, lend, pay interest, and the protocol keeps making money in every market. That’s the kind of asset I’d rather buy when everyone is scared. 6. @AskVenice ($VVV) - Venice is not just another AI token. Alibaba Cloud is using Venice models for its AI product push, which means a multi-billion dollar Chinese company is actually touching the tech. That makes $VVV more interesting than most AI coins. 7. @HyperliquidX ($HYPE) - Hyperliquid almost flipped Solana in valuation and became one of the strongest products in crypto. It has real users, massive volume, and huge revenue. If the market recovers, $HYPE is hard to ignore.

Another one that “fell from heaven”

Grayscale just filed for a spot ETF on Canton ($CC). Why does that matter? On June 5, Grayscale officially submitted an S-1 filing to the SEC to launch the Grayscale Canton ETF — the first spot ETF designed to directly hold $CC tokens. What makes this interesting is that Canton Network is still a relatively new project (I covered it in a research post back in Dec 2025), yet it’s now attracting attention from one of the biggest names in crypto asset management. 1️⃣ Canton’s strength: institutional RWA infrastructure • Canton was built specifically for financial institutions, with a focus on tokenization, privacy, and interoperability with traditional financial systems. • It is one of the few blockchains seeing meaningful real-world institutional adoption. • DTCC has conducted U.S. Treasury bond tokenization pilots on Canton. • HSBC, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, BNY Mellon, and dozens of other financial institutions are part of the ecosystem. → Canton’s share of the RWA repo (repurchase agreement) market has reached $371B, representing 93% market share. 2️⃣ No pre-mine. No VC allocation. • The network operates under a Burn-Mint Equilibrium model. • Network usage fees are burned. • New issuance is allocated only to participants creating real value within the ecosystem. → This ties the value of $CC more directly to network usage rather than pure speculation — a structure many institutional investors tend to favor when evaluating long-term opportunities. 3️⃣ Why Grayscale is making this move After Bitcoin ETFs, Ethereum ETFs, and more recently a Hyperliquid ETF filing, Grayscale appears to be expanding into sectors it believes could define the next cycle: • Tokenization • Real-world assets (RWA) • Privacy • Institutional infrastructure That said, the filing also highlights key risks: • Approximately 89% of circulating supply is held by the top 100 wallets. • Regulatory uncertainty remains. • Price volatility remains. • Network-level technical challenges remain. If approved by the SEC, Canton could become one of the first RWA-focused projects with a direct gateway to institutional capital from Wall Street. What’s your take: is Canton becoming one of the most important RWA bets of this cycle, or is the market getting ahead of itself?

I NEVER post bullish predictions EVER… but this is possible in my honest opinion and so I have to agree. I personally think Canton will reach top 10 it’s only 3 spots away. And honestly it’s peanuts 🥜 People faded canton at $0.6 cents Don’t fade it at $0.16 🌊 https://t.co/X1aiEukIrZ
