Tokenization has become a dominant narrative in digital assets—but what are the real benefits beyond the buzz? At the Out East Summit, this panel examined how tokenized assets can unlock faster settlement, deeper liquidity, and new forms of programmable finance—and what it will take to drive institutional-scale adoption.

Canton continues to deliver on its promise to make markets more efficient and accelerate the convergence of traditional and digital finance. Happy to be a partner in supporting this next project.
Leading liquidity providers B2C2, DRW, FalconX, and GSR join Flowdesk and QCP in building a collateral management application on the Canton Network. The on-chain solution will - among other things - increase collateral mobility and enable 24x7 margin cycles, automating settlement workflows while keeping details of the positions private.

Joined by a global coalition of institutions, we’re proud to announce that #DRWVC has co-led Digital Asset’s $135 million strategic funding round alongside Tradeweb Markets. This investment reflects our long-standing partnership with Digital Asset and reinforces our commitment to shaping the infrastructure to bring real-world assets onto blockchain. “Today, major players from crypto and traditional finance have joined Digital Asset on its mission to catalyze the next evolution in markets. Building on the work that we started a decade ago, we are at the inflection point of being able to use blockchain at scale in traditional markets. With trillions of dollars’ worth of real-world assets already leveraging the Canton blockchain, this next round of funding creates significant momentum for the company and cements Canton as the de facto protocol for global collateral mobility.” - Don Wilson, Founder & CEO, DRW Digital Asset is the creator of the Canton Network, the first public blockchain designed specifically for institutional finance, with privacy and compliance built in. This next phase of growth will expand Canton’s reach across asset classes like bonds, money-market funds, commodities, and repos, driving progress toward faster settlement, improved collateral mobility, and always-on markets.
