Subscribe to our newsletter

BNP Paribas and HSBC have become the newest members of The Canton Foundation, strengthening the growing institutional support for the Canton Network. Their participation follows the recent additions of Goldman Sachs, Hong Kong FMI Services Limited and Moody’s Ratings, underscoring the increasing strategic role of the network in the future of global financial infrastructure.

The Canton Network aims to enable tokenised finance through decentralised technology that safeguards data privacy, operational control and interoperability. Its Global Synchronizer provides the core infrastructure for connecting digital assets across permissioned blockchains, under the decentralised governance of a community of banks, fintechs and service providers.

With over 30 members now onboard, including Broadridge, Tradeweb and Digital Asset, the Canton Foundation continues to build a collaborative ecosystem. The inclusion of BNP Paribas and HSBC represents another step towards aligning global capital markets through a secure and scalable decentralised framework.
