JUST IN: Zenith has joined the DTC Digital Assets Solutions Industry Working Group as a participating member, alongside 100+ firms including @BlackRock, @jpmorgan, @GoldmanSachs, @Citi, @Nasdaq, and @NYSE. @The_DTCC's subsidiary, the Depository Trust Company (DTC), is the custodian behind $114 trillion in U.S. securities. The working group is building and testing the infrastructure to bring that market on-chain, with a full launch targeted for October 2026. Zenith joins as a @CantonNetwork Tier-1 Super Validator and developer of an Ethereum-compatible execution environment for Canton, contributing its perspective on blockchain infrastructure and application development alongside other market participants. In June, Zenith joined Japan's JGB repo working group targeting the $1.6 trillion JGB repo market. Today's announcement is the U.S. counterpart. The conviction is the same on both sides of the Pacific. Zth.

The institutional tokenization conversation in Asia is moving faster than most people outside the region realize.

Shared state is the piece that makes private finance work at institutional scale. Several parties transacting against the same position, none of them seeing the whole of it, while compliance screening runs before execution and specific records can be disclosed afterwards at the institution's choosing. @TACEO_IO's Merces is live on mainnet today, and Zenith is part of the integration, bringing private shared state to Canton's EVM environment for developers building on Zenith. Full announcement: core.taceo.io/articles/merce… Zth.

.@The_DTCC's Tokenization Service is moving toward its October launch. DTC-custodied securities are already in live production trades. 50+ vendors are preparing to build applications around those assets on Canton. Zenith is at the table for it. Earlier this month, Zenith joined the DTC Digital Assets Solutions Industry Working Group alongside 100+ firms including BlackRock, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citi, Nasdaq, and NYSE, contributing to the work bringing $114 trillion in U.S. securities on-chain. Zenith is the EVM and SVM extension for @CantonNetwork, the infrastructure that connects Ethereum's developer ecosystem to the institutional assets Canton is bringing into production. In practice, that means a tokenized Treasury can be used as collateral in a Canton workflow while application logic executes on Zenith EVM, with both legs settling atomically in the same transaction. With the Zenith EVM Testnet arriving soon, developers can start building the applications that sit on top of this infrastructure. Zth.

Zenith Founder & CEO Teemu Päivinen sat down with CB Herald for a wide-ranging interview on what Zenith is building and where institutional blockchain is heading. A few things worth knowing before you do: > "We're not adding a new chain to the landscape. We're connecting two ecosystems that had been solving the same problems in isolation, under one venue." > Zenith isn't an L2 or a bridge. Both models settle value off-chain and reconcile later, that's where the risk creeps in. Zenith EVM extends Canton's own protocol, every transaction finalized on Canton directly. > Institutions keep their full privacy model. Zenith adds choice, exposing only the specific EVM surface you want, while everything else stays private. > The biggest immediate opportunity for Ethereum developers: collateral. Trillions in tokenized treasuries and deposits that sit idle because moving them into a programmable position has historically meant settlement risk. Zenith removes that. With the Zenith EVM Testnet coming soon, this is the right place to understand the full picture before you build: cbherald.com/bridging-wall-s… Zth.

Tuning in live in a few minutes. @HeslinKim is joining @CantonFdn and @CumberlandSays to talk through what's actually live on Canton right now and what gets built next. Zth.

June 2026: Zenith joins @progmat_en's Tokenized JGB working group alongside MUFG, Mizuho, BlackRock Japan, and State Street, targeting same-day settlement for Japan's $1.6 trillion JGB repo market. September 2026: Zenith joins @The_DTCC's Depository Trust Company (DTC) Digital Assets Solutions Industry Working Group alongside @BlackRock, @jpmorgan, @GoldmanSachs, @Citi, @Nasdaq, and @NYSE, building the tokenization service for $114 trillion in U.S. securities. Three months apart. Two of the largest tokenization initiatives running on @CantonNetwork. Two of the most consequential fixed income and securities markets in the world moving on-chain. The regulatory bodies differ, but the infrastructure underneath is the same, and Zenith is contributing to both. Check the full announcement: zenith.network/resources/blo… Zth.

Zenith Co-founder & CBO, @HeslinKim is joining @CantonFdn and @CumberlandSays on an X Space this Wednesday, a conversation about what's actually live on Canton right now and what gets built next. Wednesday September 23, 9 AM UTC. Worth tuning in if you want to hear the current state of Canton's institutional ecosystem directly from the people building inside it. Set a reminder and join live. Zth.

$114 trillion. That is the value of securities in Depository Trust Company (DTC)'s custody: equities, ETFs, and Treasuries now moving toward tokenization through @The_DTCC's Tokenization Service. Zenith has joined the DTC Digital Assets Solutions Industry Working Group alongside more than 100 firms including @BlackRock, @jpmorgan, @GoldmanSachs, @Citi, @Nasdaq, and @NYSE. The group provides input and perspectives on the design and testing of a tokenization service covering Russell 1000 stocks, major ETFs, and U.S. Treasuries. In July, DTCC successfully converted DTC-held assets into tokens used in real production trades ahead of the October 2026 launch. Zenith participates as @CantonNetwork's Ethereum-compatible execution environment, contributing its perspective on blockchain infrastructure and application development as the U.S. securities market moves on-chain. Full announcement: zenith.network/resources/blo… Zth.

"As a member of the Digital Assets Solutions Working Group, Zenith looks forward to contributing its perspective on blockchain infrastructure and application development while collaborating with other market participants to support the advancement of tokenization, interoperability, and digital market innovation." Zenith Co-Founder and CBO @HeslinKim on joining the DTC Digital Assets Solutions Industry Working Group, a group of more than 100 firms including @BlackRock, @jpmorgan, @GoldmanSachs, @Citi, @Nasdaq, and @NYSE providing input as @The_DTCC's Tokenization Service evolves toward its October 2026 launch. DTC provides custody for approximately $114 trillion in U.S. securities. The tokenization infrastructure being built here is not a pilot. It is the foundation for how U.S. equities, ETFs, and Treasuries move on-chain. Full announcement: zenith.network/resources/blo… Zth.

DTC's Digital Assets Solutions Industry Working Group spans banks, asset managers, exchanges, custodians, and infrastructure providers. Zenith has joined, contributing a Canton Tier-1 Super Validator's perspective on execution and application development to the group's work.

At the Canton Summit, @digitalasset co-founder @YuvalRooz pointed to the combined scale of U.S. equities and Treasuries - close to $70 trillion - as a reason to rethink the scale at which on-chain financial infrastructure is measured. Around 50 vendors are already preparing to build applications on Canton Network as @The_DTCC's Tokenization Service moves into production. Zenith is building for exactly this moment. Institutional assets arriving on Canton at U.S. securities market scale, with EVM and SVM execution that lets the Ethereum and Solana developer ecosystems build natively around those assets. Atomic composability with Canton workflows, no bridges, inside Canton's consensus. We wrote the full breakdown of how this fits together. Worth 5 minutes before DTCC's October launch. Zth.

Excited to be in this room. The DTC Digital Assets Solutions Industry Working Group now includes 100+ firms - @BlackRock, @jpmorgan, @GoldmanSachs, @Citi, @Nasdaq, @NYSE, and now Zenith - contributing to a tokenization service that @The_DTCC already demonstrated works in live production trades in July. Zenith contributes as the EVM and soon SVM extension of @CantonNetwork Mainnet consensus, bringing Ethereum's developer ecosystem natively onto the rails where $114 trillion in U.S. securities is moving on-chain this October. Zth.

Zenith just joined the Depository Trust Company (DTC) Digital Assets Solutions Industry Working Group, more than 100 firms from across traditional finance and digital markets providing input as DTCC's Tokenization Service evolves. The names in that room: @BlackRock, @jpmorgan, @GoldmanSachs, @Citi, @Nasdaq, @NYSE, and @digitalasset. The assets in scope: Russell 1000 stocks, major ETFs, and U.S. Treasuries. The custody value behind it: approximately $114 trillion. In July, @The_DTCC successfully converted DTC-held assets into tokens used in real production trades. The October 2026 launch is on track. Zenith joins as EVM and SVM extension of Canton's Mainnet consensus, contributing its perspective on how that infrastructure connects to Ethereum's developer ecosystem. 31,800+ active Solidity developers and 76 million deployed smart contracts represent the tooling and primitives that institutional tokenization will eventually need to compose with. Zenith is what makes that composability possible on @CantonNetwork, without rewrites or bridges. Dive into the full announcement: zenith.network/resources/blo… Zth.
