We're still in the phase where people celebrate assets coming onchain.

The bigger moment will be when those assets start powering entirely new forms of credit, liquidity, and financial activity. That's when the scale of this opportunity becomes obvious.

As more financial assets become programmable, the addressable market for onchain finance expands beyond crypto-native assets and into global capital markets.

A perspective from @AkashGauravX on what comes after tokenization.

[Alpend @AlpendHQ]

Designed with purpose.

[Alpend @AlpendHQ]

Reading through CIP-0112, one theme that emerges across the proposed changes is a growing focus on settlement.

Traditional token standards tend to focus on ownership and transfers. CIP-0112 spends much more time on commitments, allocations, custody structures, and repeated settlement.

That feels like a subtle but important change in direction. As financial markets move onchain, the challenge isn't simply representing assets digitally. It's enabling the workflows that sit around those assets.

The standard is evolving accordingly.

[Canton Foundation @CantonFdn]

CIP-0112 has been approved: Canton Network Token Standard V2.

This is a major upgrade to the CIP-0056 token standard that governs how assets are issued, transferred, and settled across @CantonNetwork.

V2 introduces improvements across privacy, performance, and compatibility with traditional financial accounting.

What changes:

→ Privacy-enhanced batch settlement: Parties in a multi-leg trade only see their own legs, not the full settlement
→ Accountable holdings: The new Account model supports multi-tier custody chains, enabling traditional finance workflows on-chain
→ Committed allocations and iterated settlement: Assets can be locked to an app or protocol for prefunded trading, with settlement occurring repeatedly without re-authorization
→ Improved user flows: Traders authorize a settlement with a single signature through their wallet
→ EventLog for transaction parsing: Standardized event emission for wallets, exchanges, and apps
→ Full backwards compatibility with V1: Apps, assets, and wallets can upgrade independently

The V2 standard is designed to bridge TradFi settlement workflows and DeFi composability on the same infrastructure without splitting the on-chain ecosystem.

Approved June 12, 2026.

@0x_primee @CantonNetwork @cantontools It will be distributed once we have the full list of winners.

@elonmusk @s3xy_ch Wrong Canton, but we'll take it. 🤣

[Alpend @AlpendHQ]

@Binance_intern Intern took 'big picture thinking' too seriously.

[Alpend @AlpendHQ]

@HandlPay @CantonNetwork @LongViewCrypto Couldn't agree more. 🫡

[Alpend @AlpendHQ]

@CantonNetwork @LongViewCrypto The rails are institutional. The opportunity is universal.

[Canton Network @CantonNetwork]

Payment settlement, treasury collateral, repo financing.

The institutions building on Canton represent the markets that move capital, collateral, and liquidity at global scale.

@Alpendhq on @LongViewCrypto with what that means for the network.

[Alpend @AlpendHQ]

Community isn't a growth tactic.

It's what happens when enough people find value in the same mission.

[Alpend @AlpendHQ]

@YuvalRooz @CantonFdn @digitalasset Canton in the corridors of power. 👀

[Alpend @AlpendHQ]

@CantonFdn Governance by process, not by power.

[Alpend @AlpendHQ]

@CantonNetwork @TrenchWeb3 12 years to build. Impossible to replicate overnight. That's the moat.

[Alpend @AlpendHQ]

Assets are not the end state of a financial system.

They are the starting point.

The infrastructure built around them determines what they can be used for.

[Alpend @AlpendHQ]

@CoinMarketCap hi, i'm alpend.

[Alpend @AlpendHQ]

For most of crypto's history, growth meant bringing more crypto assets into onchain markets.

New tokens became collateral. Stablecoins became settlement assets. Entire lending, borrowing, and trading ecosystems were built around them.

What's emerging on @CantonNetwork points toward a different path.

Rather than building solely around crypto assets, the network is increasingly connecting to financial markets that already exist at global scale. Institutions such as @Visa, @The_DTCC, and @Broadridge are significant not because of their brand names, but because of the markets they support.

Payment settlement. Treasury collateral. Repo financing.

The opportunity expands beyond crypto assets to the infrastructure that supports how capital, collateral, and liquidity move across global financial markets.
