Canton has wrapped up another strong week. 🌐
Institutional finance, tokenization, stablecoin infrastructure, and live applications continue to converge rapidly across the Canton ecosystem.
A major commercial launch is approaching: Following live production trades conducted on Canton in July,
@The_DTCC's tokenization service is preparing for its commercial launch in October.
Institutional momentum continues: Virtu Financial, M1X Global, and Tradeweb completed the first fully onchain sovereign repo transaction using the Marshall Islands' USDM1 digital sovereign bond as collateral. The transaction settled atomically on Canton in under 10 minutes.
Vanguard and Wellington Management also completed their first tokenized collateral trades on Canton, using tokenized money market fund shares through
@Nasdaq Calypso.
On the onchain cash front:
@worldlibertyfi's USD1 stablecoin, with more than $4 billion in circulation, is now live natively on Canton. Issued by BitGo Bank & Trust, USD1 can support settlement, collateral, and lending activity across the network.

Canton Strategic Holdings also reported 3.71 billion
