Channeling $350 billion in daily repo volume across 165 channels
Canton’s core crypto infrastructure, built by Digital Asset on the DAML smart contract language, already handles significant institutional volume. Broadridge’s distributed repo platform processes between $300 billion and $400 billion in daily U.S. Treasury repo transactions through Canton, making it an operating infrastructure, not a proof of concept.

The Canton chain, supported by Goldman Sachs, calls on LayerZeroThe LayerZero integration now sits on top of these rails. Bryan Pellegrino, CEO of LayerZero Labs, defined the division of labor precisely: “Canton has already built the rails of traditional finance, processing over $350 billion in daily U.S. Treasury repo volume. LayerZero’s job is to ensure these assets are available in all global markets, across blockchains.”
The distinction is technically important. LayerZero does not operate like a traditional bridge, it is designed to make any token or application natively compatible with any blockchain, avoiding the custody risk that has plagued previous cross-chain solutions. For Canton’s compliance-focused participants, this architecture matters as much as the connectivity itself.
The tests have already involved Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, DRW, QCP, Liberty City Ventures and Tradeweb, the same institutions that underwrote Digital Asset’s $135 million funding round in June 2025, led by DRW Venture Capital and Tradeweb Markets with participation from Circle Ventures and Citadel Securities.
