June 2026 has been incredible for the @CantonNetwork@CantonFdn ecosystem. Here is just a selection of some of the biggest $CC developments from recent days...
(1) $355M For Canton’s Developer: @DigitalAsset raised an impressive $355 million in a funding round announced on June 11. The round saw participation from investing titans like @a16z, @Polychain, and @Coinbase Ventures, as well as what felt like half of Wall Street.
(2) Canton Beats Aave and Uniswap!: According to data on DefiLlama, @CantonNetwork has generated around $59M million in fees over the past month. This means it is currently outpacing the likes of @Aave, @Uniswap, and even @Solana.
(3) Canton Coin ETF on The Way?: Grayscale filed an S-1 with the @SECGov in early June to launch an ETF product that will track $CC and hold it directly. For context, @Grayscale already offers spot ETF products for @Ripple’s $XRP, @Chainlink $LINK, @Avax $AVAX, and several others including $BTC and $ETH.
(4) Kraken Going All-In on Canton: Leading CEX @Krakenfx has announced the “first step in broader support for the Canton ecosystem” by revealing deposits and withdrawals of @Circle’s $USDCx stablecoin on Canton. It promises that more assets will follow.
(5) Cashen Supports CIP-0116: @Cashen_cc went live with some 400 million $CC available to delegate to Featured Apps that require it in the wake of the recently approved CIP-0116.
What are we missing...?
Tokenised Stable Mobile Money Just Went Live in Five Key African Countries
@YiksiExchange has listed several tokenised stable coins via @CantonNetwork, each backed 1:1 with USD. The move will bring never before seen cross-border use cases to users in Somalia, Kenya, Uganda, Botswana, and Tanzania.
The development follows Yiksi’s decision to list Canton’s native $CC on its platform in May, reflecting an even deeper commitment to both the @CantonFdn ecosystem, and providing entirely new financial utility to citizens in some of Africa’s biggest economies.
Africa is coming onchain. Be ready.

@bloomstarbms naa i dont think so, its been reduced in terms of capabilities compared to mythos 5, also it has so much censorship, if you ask it something weird it sends the prompt to Opus 4.8 and uses it to respond

Introducing Concordia.
Cantor8, alongside @Edenaofficial, chose Africa Day 2026 to unveil 'Concordia' - a connective layer that allows different regulated digital money systems to communicate seamlessly while maintaining compliance with national regulations.
At the heart of Concordia, is an ambition to solve one of the most persistent challenges in modern finance, and in one of the world's most promising economic areas: Interoperability.
The launch is an expansion of Cantor8's previously announced plans to bring some of Africa's leading mobile money systems onto @CantonNetwork rails.
