Digital Asset Completes Second Round of Canton Network Transactions with Financial Consortium

Subscribe to our newsletter

Digital Asset, in collaboration with a consortium of leading financial institutions including Bank of America, Societe Generale, and Tradeweb, has successfully completed a second series of transactions on the Canton Network. This initiative builds upon the initial on-chain US Treasury financing pilot conducted in July. The latest activity involved five coordinated transactions, marking a significant step towards creating a scalable, continuous capital markets infrastructure. The working group has expanded to include new members such as Brale and M1X Global, alongside existing partners like Circle, Citadel Securities, and Virtu Financial.

This second round focused on the Canton Network’s Global Collateral Network, demonstrating critical advancements in digital asset utility. Key developments included the use of multiple stablecoins, specifically SBC and USDM1, to broaden liquidity sources. Notably, the transactions demonstrated the first instance of real-time collateral reuse, allowing tokenised Treasuries to be rehypothecated across counterparties immediately to address operational inefficiencies found in traditional markets. Future phases aim to further advance these capabilities, with a specific focus on enabling cross-border transactions.
