Canton Network is designed to support large-scale institutional settlements and regulated financial workflows.
Nasdaq’s participation will strengthen the network as an infrastructure built for compliant, enterprise-grade finance rather than retail-driven speculation.
Market participants noted that Cantion’s price action reflects growing confidence in CC’s institutional adoption narrative.
Some high-profile investors have recently committed to the Canton blockchain, with BitGo serving as the custodian.
The Canton Network positions itself as a backbone infrastructure for real-world tokenized assets, particularly U.S. Treasuries and other regulated financial instruments.

Canton ETF under development
Bitwise has filed for a multi-asset crypto ETF that includes Canton (CC), a move that puts the network on the radar of institutional investors.
While regulatory approval is not guaranteed, the filing adds weight to the network’s use as a regulated on-chain financial infrastructure.
On-chain data also supports recent price momentum. Canton processed more than 500,000 transactions in the past 24 hours, while the monthly transaction volume exceeded 15 million.
Active addresses have increased significantly since mid-December, indicating higher real usage than purely speculative trading activity.
At the same time, the network fundamentals are further strengthened by Canton’s token burning mechanism, which directly ties usage to supply reduction.
More than 450 million CC tokens have been burned so far this year, introducing a deflationary dynamic that intensifies as network activity grows.
