French crypto platform Coinhouse adds Canton Coin

CantonNews (September 2, 2026): French crypto platform Coinhouse has added Canton Coin to its supported assets, allowing customers to buy CC with euros and hold, sell, or exchange it within Coinhouse accounts. Coinhouse announced the addition on September 1 alongside lending protocol Morpho; its updated 2026 asset list now includes both. Canton Coin is the native utility token of the Global Synchronizer, used to pay for network activity and forming part of the reward system for infrastructure operators. Coinhouse is authorised as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider under the European Union's MiCA framework, with authorisation issued by France's AMF under number A2026-013 and passporting rights across other EU jurisdictions. At launch, CC is available as an on-platform asset only—customers can buy, hold, sell, and exchange CC inside Coinhouse but cannot deposit from or withdraw to external wallets per Coinhouse transfer documentation. The addition places Canton Coin inside a MiCA-authorised European crypto service and gives customers a straightforward route to buy CC with euros.

arCCade confirms Canton Featured App status as early access nears

CantonNews (September 2, 2026): arCCade has confirmed its Featured App status on Canton Network and is preparing to invite its first users, with a public waitlist open and the first batch of access codes expected soon. The Canton Foundation Featured App board shows approved records for arCCade's validator and swap activity; under Canton's Featured App framework, the status makes an application eligible to receive app rewards for qualifying network activity. arCCade is a gamified trading terminal built around two experiences: Trade Wars gives players a virtual $10,000 portfolio using live prices across crypto, stocks, commodities, and foreign exchange—players stake CC to enter a round, choose assets, and follow portfolio performance, with the CC stake returned 1:1 when the round ends while performance contributes to XP and progression. Pixel Race offers an arcade format where players avoid obstacles and earn XP from scores. Both sit inside a non-custodial Canton setup using passkeys so users approve activity without handing control of keys to the platform. arCCade is also preparing a Game Launch Kit for developers—wallet integration, game templates, reward handling, and analytics—marked as coming soon.

DTCC tokenization service set for October commercial launch after July production trades

CantonNews (August 31, 2026): DTCC's DTC Tokenization Service is on track for commercial launch in October 2026 after production trades on July 15 served as the final operational stress test. More than 30 firms participated, exercising collateral pledge, securities lending, U.S. Treasury and repo DVP, equity DVP, equity DVD, equity token transfer, and CCP margin workflows across Canton Network and LFDT's Besu. The SEC issued a no-action letter on December 11, 2025 authorizing DTC to operate tokenization for assets held in custody on pre-approved blockchains for three years. The service runs on DTCC's ComposerX platform; the Industry Working Group now counts more than 50 firms—including BlackRock, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citi, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Schwab, State Street, Nasdaq, NYSE, Circle, Ondo, Ripple Prime, Fireblocks, BitGo, Tradeweb, and Virtu. DTCC cites $300 trillion in global high-quality liquid assets with only 10–11% used as collateral today; Digital Asset estimates tokenized workflows could drive 30–50% balance-sheet efficiency gains via real-time collateral mobility. DTCC President Brian Steele said the July showcase demonstrated real-time collateral mobility, liquidity and capital efficiency, reduced counterparty risk, and interoperability between traditional and digital ecosystems. Collateral AppChain go-live is also scheduled for Q4 2026.

Hanwha plans its first tokenized product on Canton

CantonNews / DigitalToday (August 31, 2026): Hanwha Investment & Securities is planning its first tokenized product issuance on Canton as it builds a blockchain-represented investment platform. Digital-asset platform head Lee Byung-chul outlined the strategy in an August 31 interview: the initial focus is professional investors, with funds and bonds among products covered by Hanwha's wider digital-asset strategy.

BitSafe CBTC goes live on Swap Monster across four Canton markets

CantonNews (August 30, 2026): BitSafe's CBTC—a 1:1 Bitcoin-backed token on Canton—is now live on Swap Monster across four markets: CBTC/CC, CBTC/USDCx, CBTC/EDELx, and CBTC/TRAKXRWA. Swap Monster uses private quotes rather than a public order book: users choose an asset and amount, request prices from eligible traders or selected counterparties, and accept or reject confidential quotes while assets remain in the trader's wallet until atomic bilateral settlement on Canton without Swap Monster taking custody. The platform targets institutional participants, currently requires an invitation code, and is offering zero trading fees during the campaign; only CBTC/CC trades are eligible for campaign rewards.

ZeroVaultID activates validator on Canton MainNet

CantonNews (August 29, 2026): ZeroVaultID—a New York–based compliance-technology firm—brought its validator online on Canton MainNet on August 28, announcing activation the following day. ZeroVaultID is building tools that let institutions share proof of compliance checks such as sanctions screening without exchanging customer identity files: the institution still makes the compliance decision while counterparties verify the result without receiving underlying documents. Its Passport product is designed to show a participant cleared a specific check; Cert Seal links that proof to settlement of a financial transaction. After DevNet tests, the team is selecting one partner for its first MainNet product deployment—starting with one financial instrument where ZeroVaultID compliance proof runs alongside the partner's existing controls without changing settlement workflows.
