CantonNews (July 24, 2026): Nasdaq disclosed on its Q2 2026 earnings call a successful Canton Network tokenized collateral pilot—transmitting tokenized money market funds as collateral through Nasdaq Calypso alongside two leading asset managers. CEO Adena Friedman framed it as proof that Calypso, used by hundreds of firms for collateral management, could evolve into a network moving assets in tokenized form; she said participants left the pilot room calling it a victory (“The money moved”). Future monetization is planned via a new Calypso module upsell for collateral movement. The pilot sits within a broader Nasdaq tokenization push—working with DTCC on post-trade settlement of tokenized shares and with Kraken on tokenized equity issuance with instantaneous settlement (target early 2027). The disclosure accompanied record results: $1.5B net revenue (+15% YoY), index AUM surpassing $1T with $51B quarterly net inflows, and the June 12 SpaceX IPO described as the largest in history ($86B raised).
Arqitech, MPCH, Pixelplex, and sFOX complete live CC–USDC atomic swaps on Canton MainNet
GlobeNewswire / Arqitech (July 23, 2026): Arqitech, MPCH, Pixelplex, and sFOX executed multiple live non-custodial cross-chain atomic swaps on Canton MainNet, exchanging Canton Coin (CC) for USDC while each institution retained full control of its private signing keys via Arqitech’s Atomic Swap Protocol (ASP). The deployment demonstrates regulated institutions completing secure atomic cross-chain transactions without relinquishing custody—connecting Canton to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, and Solana liquidity through Arqitech’s multi-chain platform. sFOX CEO Javier Martinez said the milestone complements sFOX’s plan to list CC for public trading starting August 1, 2026. The ASP builds on Arqitech’s collaboration with Digital Asset on Canton Token Standard V2 (CIP-0112), approved by the Canton Foundation in June 2026; customer access opens in the coming weeks.
Canton Strategic Holdings sells Gravitas Life Sciences to sharpen Canton focus
CantonNews (July 23, 2026): Nasdaq-listed Canton Strategic Holdings (CNTN) sold its biotech R&D arm Gravitas Life Sciences to Gravitas Collective Corp. in a board-unanimous deal that closed July 17 and was announced six days later. Management frames the divestiture as aligning corporate structure with its operating strategy—leveraging Canton Coin to support Canton Network’s role in digitizing traditional financial markets—following the June 2026 launch of its locking-as-a-service for Super Validators and Featured Apps under CIP-0105/CIP-0116. With the unrelated biotech business separated, future milestones can be read directly through a Canton-centric lens, adding public-market visibility for a Super Validator and Canton Foundation member already holding billions of CC on its balance sheet.
