Cantex lists Edel SPYe and QQQe index-linked tokens for Canton trading

CantonNews (September 26, 2026): Cantex opened trading in Edel-issued SPYe and QQQe—Canton tokens linked to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100—with listings dated September 22 giving users another venue for major U.S. index exposure. Listing terms identify both instruments as debt products where holders receive index exposure rather than direct ETF share ownership; full Cantex access remains invitation-only. Edel backs each Canton token with one unit of a corresponding third-party tokenized asset held in reserve, and verified institutional participants can redeem through Edel in USDCx. Edel's roadmap lists U.S. blue-chip singles next, then global equities and smaller companies.

Next Finance Tech receives additional Canton MainNet validator allocation

CantonNews (September 22, 2026): Japan-based Next Finance Tech appears in the Canton Foundation's September 21 allocation notice for one additional MainNet validator node, awarded by Tokenomics Working Group voting representatives with capacity and network-health assessments guiding the process. The notice does not specify activation timing or confirm an extra node is live. Next Finance Tech joined Canton as a validator in August 2025 with experience on Ethereum and other chains, citing stable operations and helping Japanese financial institutions engage blockchain finance; the Coincheck Group subsidiary provides node, staking, digital-asset management, and consulting services domestically and overseas.

Canborsa adds partial closing for perpetual positions on Canton markets

CantonNews (September 22, 2026): Canborsa enabled partial position closing on September 21, letting traders reduce perpetual exposure by percentage or fixed amount while keeping the remainder open. Existing take-profit and stop-loss instructions stay attached to the residual position. The feature applies across Canborsa perpetuals spanning crypto and synthetic markets linked to stocks, commodities, and indices—contracts that track price without expiry rather than delivering underlying shares. Canborsa supports Canton alongside other networks with Canton Coin among its trading markets.

Cantex reports $3 million total value locked and opens liquidity-partner applications

CantonNews (September 22, 2026): Cantex announced $3 million in total value locked across its Canton trading platform in a September 21 milestone update. TVL snapshots assets held in pools that back token exchange and on-ledger settlement, distinct from cumulative trading volume. The same notice invites institutions and eligible accredited individuals to apply as liquidity partners subject to approval, identity checks, and qualification limits—partners earn a share of trading fees in their pools with returns tied to activity and fee structure while bearing pool market risk.

Float applies for Canton Featured App status as Slay Money swap rail scales

CantonNews (September 21, 2026): SwapSo, the team behind Slay Money, applied for Featured App status for Float—a swap service that routes more than 2,000 supported crypto assets into Canton Coin and back out via quotes from three exchange partners, with the best quote selected by default. The application was published September 20 after Float processed its first real customer order on Canton MainNet on September 7. Users supply a Canton party ID and pay a per-order address to buy CC, or send CC to Float to receive another asset at a destination address; Slay Money is the first embedded partner and other wallets can integrate via iframe or API. Documentation proposes a 0.2% partner commission paid in CC. The Featured App request seeks rewards for one outbound CC transfer per completed customer order, excluding refunds and treasury movements; SwapSo plans to use rewards for partner incentives, lower fees, and more wallet integrations if approved.

Console Wallet adds per-account traffic balances for self-funded Canton network fees

CantonNews (September 20, 2026): Console launched individual traffic-fee balances so Canton participants can fund their own network usage in Canton Coin or top up another participant's balance from Console Wallet. Traffic is charged per kilobyte on Canton's shared infrastructure; when many parties share a node, costs otherwise fall on the operator unless usage is billed separately. Console's traffic-balance page connects the wallet extension, shows the balance tied to the user's Canton account, and supports paying into someone else's balance so one party can cover another's fees. Top-ups are signed in the wallet— the page never receives private keys. The UX complements the September 17 forum announcement that per-party traffic accounts are live network-wide with CC top-up at consolewallet.io/traffic-topup.

Loop Fee Balance goes live on Canton MainNet for prepaid transaction costs

CantonNews (September 20, 2026): Loop's Fee Balance is live on Canton MainNet—a separate prepaid balance from other holdings that covers network transaction fees as users approve activity in Loop. Browser apps and WalletConnect flows receive fee-balance prompts from Loop without app changes. Loop notes that topping up the balance is itself a transaction, so if the balance falls too low to cover that step an account may need operator support before more funds can be added. Server-side submitters can use Loop's updated developer tools to estimate fees and top up before proceeding, including an optional reserve; Five North published a MainNet integration guide for the rollout.

Alpend and BitSafe add bonus Canton Coin rewards for CBTC lenders

CantonNews (September 20, 2026): Alpend partnered with BitSafe to pay bonus Canton Coin on top of lending yield for CBTC supplied to Alpend's pooled money market. CBTC is BitSafe's Bitcoin representation on Canton for use in Canton applications; borrowers pay interest on collateralized loans while depositors earn market-driven supply yield. Incentive capacity is limited by pool supply caps and Alpend remains in early access—existing users reach the CBTC market in the Alpend app while new users join via the waitlist. The program stacks CC rewards on CBTC lending without changing the underlying asset supplied to the pool.

Cancore launches MCP connection for AI-assisted trades reviewed in-wallet

CantonNews (September 20, 2026): Cancore released AI-assisted trading via MCP (Model Context Protocol), letting users describe a trade in plain language in Claude or compatible assistants while keeping signing in Cancore Wallet. A natural-language request—such as swapping a set amount of Canton Coin for CBTC—becomes a wallet proposal showing assets, size, and live exchange rate; the user approves, edits, or declines, and execution requires a wallet signature with the rate re-checked at approval (trades halt if price moves beyond the permitted band). Cancore's documentation states assistants may propose actions and check outcomes but cannot sign or access private keys; live quotes come from the wallet. Pending requests expire after 15 minutes and MCP access can be revoked in wallet settings; docs also cover transfers and cross-chain orders.

Ekiden passes $1 million MainNet volume as invite-only launch cuts fees and raises leverage caps

CantonNews (September 20, 2026): Ekiden's invite-only Canton MainNet crossed $1 million in trading volume with 15,978 trades in its September 17 milestone update. The CLOB derivatives exchange introduced a temporary fee tier for closed-launch participants—0.02% maker and 0.035% taker—while Ekiden covers Canton settlement costs at zero during the offer; the lower tier previously required $10 million in rolling 30-day volume. A September 18 update raised maximum leverage to 20x on Bitcoin, Ether, and HYPE markets and 10x on Canton Coin, with documentation noting higher leverage increases liquidation risk. Access remained invite-only at the milestone; the promotional fees apply to closed MainNet users rather than a public fee schedule.
