KBW2026 INSTITUTIONAL TOKENIZATION: @CantonNetwork & @apolloglobal

From enterprise blockchain to tokenized credit, @YuvalRooz (Co-founder & CEO, @digitalasset | Canton Network), and @cmoyall (Partner & Head of Digital Assets, Apollo) are taking the stage in Seoul for KBW2026 this fall.

Early Bird tickets are available now ⬇️

[Digital Asset @digitalasset]

Institutional adoption requires infrastructure that aligns with how regulated markets actually operate.

Privacy, compliance, and coordinated settlement are not optional features.

They are operational requirements.

[Digital Asset @digitalasset]

The addressable market for tokenized deposits is the core of the existing financial system, not a niche experiment.

The latest @rwa_io report examines what that scale means for payments, treasury management, and capital markets.

For institutions managing treasury and liquidity, tokenized deposits offer yield that stablecoins typically cannot.

Regulation is sharpening the distinction between the two models, making tokenized deposits a capital-efficient cash management layer.

Digital Asset's contribution to the latest @rwa_io report examines what that means for institutional cash management.

[RWA.io @rwa_io]

In the US, the future of digital money is becoming clearer:

Tokenized deposits can pay yield that stablecoins often can’t.

As highlighted in our latest report, regulation is creating a sharper divide between the two models.

In Daml, access control is defined at the contract level, not applied on top.

A detailed breakdown from @HackenClub of every core security pattern, how the mechanics work, where the risks are, and what to verify before mainnet.

Full analysis: https://t.co/3VegaYT4Ue

[Hacken🇺🇦 @hackenclub]

In most smart contract platforms, access control is something you add.

In Daml, it's something you define: signatories, observers, and controllers declared at the contract level, enforced by the @CantonNetwork runtime.

We broke down what that means for security 👇

.@MessariCrypto has published an independent report on @CantonNetwork, the infrastructure Digital Asset built for regulated financial markets.

Architecture, institutional adoption, tokenomics, and roadmap.

Read the most comprehensive report on Canton yet.

[Jake Koch-Gallup @immutablejacob]

the most in-depth and up-to-date @CantonNetwork report is live.

22 pages covering:
> technical architecture
> privacy model
> tokenomics
> governance
> institutional adoption
> the role of $CC

👉 https://t.co/97GhXpnLUP

let’s break down the key points:

1/ what is Canton Network?

Canton is a public network for interoperable, privacy-preserving financial applications.

unlike most blockchains, Canton does not rely on a single globally replicated state where every validator sees every transaction.

instead, each participant only sees the part of a transaction it is entitled to access.

Canton’s core differentiator -> configurable sub-transaction privacy with composability.

independent financial applications can interoperate atomically across shared infrastructure without exposing all transaction data to the entire network.

2/ what problem is Canton solving?

traditional financial infrastructure is fragmented.

collateral, cash, securities, repo, and settlement workflows often sit across separate ledgers, intermediaries, and operational systems.

that creates:
> reconciliation overhead
> delayed settlement
> operational risk
> trapped collateral
> inefficient capital movement

most blockchains solve interoperability by making everything globally visible.

most private systems preserve confidentiality but recreate isolated silos.

Canton is designed to solve both problems at once:
> synchronized shared infrastructure
> without full public transparency

3/ how does Canton actually work?

Canton separates transaction coordination
from transaction visibility.

validator nodes only store and validate the subset of state relevant to the parties they host.

the Global Synchronizer orders transactions and prevents conflicts, but transaction contents remain encrypted and selectively disclosed.

applications can interoperate atomically across the network while preserving confidentiality.

this is very different from monolithic blockchain architecture.

4/ why does sub-transaction privacy matter?

financial workflows often involve multiple parties that need to settle together, but should not see the same information.

in Canton, a transaction can settle atomically while each participant only sees the portion relevant to them.

issuers, counterparties, validators, and applications can coordinate without every party observing the full transaction graph.

this is the privacy/composability tradeoff Canton is trying to solve.

5/ who is building on Canton?

Canton already has a meaningful institutional and crypto-native footprint. examples include:
@Broadridge, @The_DTCC, @jpmorgan, @HSBC, @FTI_US, @Tradeweb, @Visa, @EuroclearGroup, @SocieteGenerale, @chainlink, @LayerZero_Core, @circle, @FireblocksHQ, @BitGo, @zerohashx, @tradecraftfi, & @temple_ny

key developments include:
> tokenized deposit pilots
> collateral mobility workflows
> synchronized repo settlement
> stablecoin and custody infrastructure

Broadridge DLR processes more than $8T in monthly repo volume on Canton infrastructure.

important note: much of Canton’s highest-value activity has historically occurred through private deployments or private synchronizers using the same underlying technology.

the next phase is the migration of these workflows toward shared public infrastructure coordinated through the Global Synchronizer.

6/ where does $CC fit in?

$CC is used for:
> transaction fees
> infrastructure incentives
> application rewards
> operation of the Global Synchronizer

fees are denominated in USD terms and settled in $CC.

Canton’s token model uses a burn-mint equilibrium tied to network usage.

higher activity increases $CC demand/fees, and $CC burn is linked to market price.

higher $CC price -> fewer $CC burned per tx
lower $CC price -> more $CC burned per tx

issuance is distributed across:
> Super Validators
> validators
> application providers
> users

over time, the reward model increasingly shifts toward applications generating real network activity.

7/ what is next on Canton’s roadmap?

Canton’s 2026 priorities are focused on institutional asset adoption, performance, usability, standards, and ecosystem participation.

key roadmap items include:

> DTCC’s tokenized U.S. Treasury MVP, targeted for H2 2026
> initial phases of JPM Coin integration
> continued expansion of collateral mobility and synchronized settlement workflows
> scaling improvements targeting thousands of TPS on the Global Synchronizer
> higher throughput across application-specific subnets
> migration toward Canton-native BFT consensus
> broader adoption of wallet interoperability standard CIP-0103
> continued development of token standard CIP-0112
> further simplification of validator onboarding

longer term, Canton is focused on:
> regulated digital cash
> tokenized collateral
> privacy-preserving DeFi
> public-party functionality
> public verifiability for private transactions
> expanded smart contract language support beyond Daml

the roadmap reinforces Canton’s broader strategic focus of building shared infrastructure for privacy-preserving institutional settlement and regulated asset movement.

Stablecoins and tokenized deposits are structurally different instruments.

Tokenized deposits are direct bank liabilities, issued within the regulated banking system and programmable for real-time settlement.

@CantonNetwork is where that infrastructure is being built at scale. Read the full @rwa_io report.

[RWA.io @rwa_io]

As per our latest research, not all digital dollars are the same.

Stablecoins and tokenized deposits may look similar on-chain, but they operate under very different rules.

[Digital Asset @digitalasset]

Digital Asset CEO @YuvalRooz, at the @MilkenInstitute on how tokenized finance is moving from pilot to production infrastructure.

The conversation focused on what it actually takes to get settlement, custody, and collateral mobility working at institutional scale.

[Digital Asset @digitalasset]

T+2 persists because asset and cash legs settle on separate systems.

When both execute on synchronized infrastructure, settlement windows shrink and funding costs fall.

[Digital Asset @digitalasset]

Infrastructure is defined by its participants.

With more than 1000 validators, @CantonNetwork operates as shared infrastructure for global institutional markets.
