Titan launches its Canton testnet after opening its waitlist

CantonNews (October 1, 2026): Titan has launched its testnet on Canton, moving from a waitlist announcement to a working test environment. The October 1 release follows the exchange’s waitlist opening on September 24. Users can now visit the Titan testnet, whose trading app is presented as a perpetual futures exchange on Canton. Privacy is central to Titan’s approach. Its launch announcement focuses on private order books, the lists of buy and sell orders used to match trades. The testnet gives the project a place to put that approach in front of users before a production release. This is a testnet launch, not the opening of MainNet trading. The announcement does not provide a MainNet date, a confirmed production market list or details of rewards for taking part. Those remain separate from the test environment now available.

Canton opens MainNet vote for CantonBFT migration

CantonNews (October 1, 2026): Canton Super Validators are voting on a MainNet migration to CantonBFT, with the upgrade proposed for October 10 at 13:00 UTC. The vote concerns the Global Synchronizer, the shared infrastructure used to coordinate activity across Canton applications. It would set the timetable for the migration rather than carry out the change immediately. The live proposal had six votes in favour and none against when checked on October 1. Voting closes just before 11:00 UTC on October 8. If approved, the configuration scheduling the upgrade is targeted to take effect on October 9 at 11:00 UTC. The migration itself would follow on October 10 at 13:00 UTC. These are separate steps, so approval of the schedule would not mean the migration had already happened. The new synchronizer would use protocol version 35. The…

Yuval Rooz puts institutional use at the centre of Korea’s digital asset opportunity

CantonNews (October 1, 2026): Digital Asset CEO Yuval Rooz put financial institutions’ actual use of blockchain at the centre of his RealFi X Asia discussion in Seoul on October 1. His argument was that clear rules are necessary, but do not by themselves create a market. Japan provided his example: regulatory clarity preceded wider adoption, while involvement from large banks and Japan Securities Clearing Corporation in collateral management helped encourage other institutions to participate. For Korea, Rooz pointed to consumers already comfortable with digital assets, new financial technology and overseas equities. He expects that familiarity to support faster adoption if regulation and institutional participation advance together. That is his outlook, not an announced Korean deployment. He also urged a different measure of progress:…

Greywick plans Litecoin on Canton with cLTC

CantonNews (October 1, 2026): Greywick Digital is preparing to bring Litecoin to Canton as cLTC, with support from the Litecoin Foundation. The two organisations have signed a memorandum of understanding covering the planned asset. The agreement recognises cLTC as the version of Litecoin on Canton that the Foundation will support for institutional trading and other financial products, including proposed yield-bearing uses. The Litecoin Foundation has also confirmed its endorsement. Greywick is targeting a launch by the end of 2026. Work is underway on testnet, but cLTC will not go live until its reserve addresses, attestation format and launch sequence have been published. There is no exact launch date yet. The reserve disclosures matter because cLTC is an asset issued on Canton, not Litecoin moving natively on its original network.…

Ekiden adds gold and silver markets on Canton

CantonNews (October 1, 2026): Ekiden has added gold and silver markets on Canton, expanding its derivatives exchange into commodities for the first time. Gold trades as XAU/USDCx and silver as XAG/USDCx. The markets have their own risk settings and trading schedule. They open at 6 p.m. on Sunday and close at 5 p.m. on Friday, New York time, with a daily break from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday through Thursday. They are not round-the-clock weekend markets. Trading gold and silver earns a 2× XP multiplier throughout Ekiden’s closed MainNet phase. That is a points incentive, not a doubling of trading returns. Access remains controlled. Ekiden’s September MainNet launch began with the top 100 traders from its testnet leaderboard, with more participants due to be admitted in waves. The metals announcement does not announce unrestricted…

Edel passes $2 million in stock-token trading as staking plans take shape

CantonNews (October 1, 2026): Edel’s SPYe and QQQe tokens have passed $2 million in combined on-chain trading volume, up from $1 million two days earlier. The figure covers trading in both tokens together. It measures trading activity, not money deposited into Edel or the value of assets backing the tokens. SPYe tracks SPY and QQQe tracks QQQ, with both available on Cantex. Under Edel’s product structure, the tokens provide economic exposure through debt instruments issued by Titan Labs Limited. Holders do not directly own the underlying ETF shares or receive shareholder voting rights. Primary minting and redemption remain restricted to approved participants. Staking is the next planned addition. Edel’s October 1 update sets out Canton Coin yield, lower trading fees and reward multipliers for EDEL stakers, with tiers and participation…

LetsExchange closes its swap service after earlier Console Wallet integration

CantonNews (October 1, 2026): LetsExchange has ceased operations, ending a swap service previously integrated into Canton’s Console Wallet. New exchanges stopped on October 1 at 07:00 UTC. Exchanges created before that cutoff will continue to be processed. The closure guidance gives users until November 30 to contact support, with the support service due to end on December 1. Incomplete or unresolved exchanges will be handled individually. Affiliate partners have a separate deadline. They need a valid payout address in place by October 5, when remaining balances are due to be paid automatically. Accounts without a valid address will not receive that payout. The closure follows more than five years of operation. The statement cites the growing complexity of regulatory requirements and the cost of sustaining a global service as reasons…

Governance

Marex’s Canton Super Validator program moves to an implementation vote

CantonNews (October 1, 2026): Marex’s approved Canton Super Validator program has reached an implementation vote on MainNet. The proposal would add its hosted reward weight to the network configuration, following approval of the wider program in September. The live vote would raise MPC-Holding-Inc’s reward weight from 35 to 45 to accommodate Marex’s weight of 10. It had five votes in favour and none against when checked on October 1. Voting closes on October 6 at 05:10 UTC, with a target effective time of October 7 at 05:10 UTC. This is an implementation step, not a new vote on whether to approve the original program. CIP-0126 was approved on September 25, establishing a maximum earnable weight of 10 tied to milestones. The hosted arrangement does not release all of those rewards to Marex. Rewards initially accrue to an unclaimed…

Grofty brings its Canton app to Google Play

CantonNews (October 1, 2026): Grofty’s Canton app is available on Google Play, giving Android users a mobile way to manage accounts and keep track of their assets. The app brings together balances, transfers and transaction history. Users can manage multiple accounts, save recipients in an address book and switch between supported network environments. The Google Play listing describes email-based onboarding, biometric unlocking and encrypted local storage, with recovery information kept on the device. The developer presents it as a utility for managing accounts, not a service that holds users’ funds on its servers. The listed version, 1.0.2, adds more asset-exchange and network pairings, corrects default exchange-rate values and improves email verification. The store page shows a September 22 update, followed by Grofty’s public…

Ecosystem

Canborsa Expands Canton Coin Utility, Enabling $CC as Collateral Across All Markets

CantonNews (October 1, 2026): Canborsa, a crypto and RWA perpetual DEX, today announced that Canton Coin ($CC) can now be used as collateral across all markets on the platform. The update lets $CC holders open perpetual positions on any available market directly, without first converting into a stablecoin. Previously, traders holding $CC needed to swap into a stablecoin to post margin. With this change, $CC holders can use the token itself as trading capital while maintaining their underlying exposure, whether increasing a position or hedging against downside risk. $CC is the native token of Canton Network, the privacy-enabled blockchain built for institutional finance and used by firms including DTCC, Goldman Sachs, and Visa. By expanding $CC's role as collateral, Canborsa deepens the token's utility and strengthens its integration…
