The Canton Network is the first privacy-enabled, interoperable blockchain designed for institutional finance. It allows previously siloed financial systems to connect securely, enabling assets, data, and cash to move seamlessly across applications while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. In practice, this means institutions can synchronize financial transactions across different platforms – for example, linking tokenized securities with payment systems – while retaining the privacy, control, and scalability demanded by capital markets.
By launching the Canton Network ETP, 21shares extends its mission to make institutional-grade blockchain innovation accessible to investors through transparent and regulated products.
“Canton represents one of the most significant efforts yet to bring traditional finance and blockchain technology together,” said Peter Fernandez, Head of Investment Management Operations at 21shares. “As a participant in the network, we’ve seen firsthand the progress being made toward real-world financial interoperability. The Canton Network ETP is a natural next step – allowing investors to gain exposure to a technology that could redefine how global markets operate.”
21shares recently joined the Canton Network as a validator, reinforcing its crypto-native leadership and long-term commitment to blockchain infrastructure. By running its own validator node on the Canton Network, 21Shares takes an active role in the network operations and coordination with other participants on the network. This enables seamless integration with the Global Synchronizer and a growing ecosystem of decentralized applications (dApps).
“Our role as a validator allows us to contribute to the foundation of institutional blockchain adoption,” added Andres Valencia, EVP of Investment Management at 21shares. “Launching the Canton Network ETP bridges that technical engagement with investor access – bringing one of the most forward-looking blockchain projects to the public markets.”
