ClearToken and Canton Network Partner to Launch Regulated Settlement Infrastructure

Subscribe to our newsletter

ClearToken, the FCA-authorised financial market infrastructure (FMI) provider, has partnered with Canton Network to deploy three Daml-based digital asset platforms: CT Register, CT Pay, and CT Settle. This collaboration integrates ClearToken’s regulatory status with Canton’s blockchain architecture to provide settlement for stablecoin FX and tokenised cash flows. The suite enables the tokenisation of fiat and securities, single-sided and Payment versus Payment (PvP) settlement to eliminate currency risk, and Delivery versus Payment (DvP) net settlement across cryptoassets and stablecoins.

The partnership addresses a significant gap in the $315 billion stablecoin market, which currently lacks the robust post-trade infrastructure found in traditional FX markets. By deploying on the Canton Network – an ecosystem including major institutions such as Goldman Sachs and the LSEG – ClearToken positions its services at the intersection of regulated finance and institutional blockchain. All platforms will be operated by entities within the ClearToken group that are either authorised by the FCA or supervised by the Bank of England.

Launched in December 2025, these services form a modular post-trade stack. While CT Pay and CT Settle are currently active, future expansions will include a central counterparty (CCP) clearing service, CT Clear, pending further regulatory authorisation. This integrated approach allows institutional participants to adopt specific modules independently or utilise the full end-to-end platform for programmable, auditable settlement workflows.
