Canton Coin powers Canton Network, an ecosystem supported by some of the world's leading financial institutions, including JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Nasdaq, Deloitte and Moody’s. It is the first interoperable blockchain that ensures privacy and regulatory compliance.
The technology allows adhering financial systems to connect securely, allowing assets, data and liquidity to move freely between different applications, while maintaining the confidentiality and control requirements necessary for regulated markets. In practice, it allows transactions to be synchronized across different platforms — for example by linking tokenized securities to payment systems — while ensuring scalability and compliance at the same time.
With the launch of the CANTN ETP, 21shares takes another step in its mission to make institutional-level blockchain innovation accessible through transparent and regulated instruments.
Peter Fernandez, Head of Investment Management Operations at 21shares, comments:
Canton represents one of the most advanced projects to unite traditional finance with blockchain technology. As members of the Network, we have closely followed its evolution towards real financial interoperability. For us, the Canton Network ETP was a natural step: it allows investors to benefit from a technology that could redefine the functioning of global markets.
21shares has joined the Canton Network as a validator, consolidating its digital vocation and directly contributing to the network infrastructure. By managing its own node, the company actively participates in the operations of the blockchain and in collaboration with other members, ensuring a smooth integration with the Global Synchronizer and with the expanding dApp ecosystem.
Andres Valencia, EVP of Investment Management at 21shares, adds:
As a validator, we can contribute closely to the institutional adoption of the blockchain. With a dedicated ETP, we have combined this technical commitment with the opportunity for investors to access one of the most innovative projects in the sector.
According to Georg Schneider, Global Head of RWA at Digital Asset:
Canton is accelerating the adoption of blockchain in the institutional world, offering secure and compliant interoperability, as well as the privacy necessary for financial markets. With 21shares' ETP, investors can now also participate in this transformation. The entry of 21shares into the Network as a validator further strengthens a reliable institutional framework, showing how consolidated financial infrastructures and digital innovation are converging to redesign capital markets.
With over 50 ETPs listed in Europe and about 10 billion dollars of assets managed globally, 21shares continues to lead the sector by offering regulated, transparent and accessible products to invest in the ever-evolving world of digital assets.
