Connected Projects

Euroclear sits at the apex of Canton Network governance as one of two co-chairs of the Canton Foundation, sharing that role with DTCC. The two organizations represent the largest pools of traditional post-trade settlement infrastructure in Europe and the United States respectively, and their joint stewardship signals that Canton is positioned as institutional-grade financial infrastructure rather than a retail-facing chain. Operationally, Euroclear was a lead participant in the June-July 2024 Canton tokenization pilot organized by Digital Asset, which brought together 27 market participants running 14 Canton nodes and 11 distributed applications.
