Canton Network

Welcome back.

The London Stock Exchange Group has been named a super validator on the Canton Network, a move that signals deepening institutional commitment to regulated on-chain finance.

Mitch, what does this appointment mean for LSEG and the broader institutional landscape?

Thanks, Matthew.

And I want all in on Canton.

What do you think about that? Canton Network.

I think Canton is going places.

I think it'll be a $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $10 token.

it's 14 cents it was nine cents there you go you made five cents there you go sweet you bought it for nine you yeah i mean you get up that's like that's a nice

margin that's a nice increase right that's good i like those numbers yeah

it's it's and and that's and it is the native token of the uh of the network of the canton network privacy enabled interoperable blockchain built for institutional finance and regulated markets Um, institutional backing, you got major financial players and market operators using it for private ledgers.

And that's the whole thing.

So the RWA League table, this is the all section.

Canton Network is still... sitting way high up there at around $313 billion in total value on the network.

But Solana is putting up some gains here.

It is up 11% over the last 30 days.

Stellar is an interesting one that I saw.

There's a couple of mentions in the chat here about Stellar Network.

Stellar is something that might be absolutely ridiculous next year because we've already seen, you know, kind of Canton catch that limelight and the price didn't follow the limelight for Canton Network when the DTCC and kind of the Swift integrations were noted to be real.

The one thing that I want to emphasize when looking at all this different RWA information is that the world's financial sector is in a test bed for coming on chain right now.

Do you think that's possible?

no no first of all i anticipate that launch to go well they've been testing it they've done a lot of uh uh prototype testing so far uh this is being built on the canton network which i'm very familiar with and i write about it in my new book which has been developed over 10 years' time.

That layer one is robust and can handle this.

I expect this to go well.

We- the, the list is endless.

Canton Network, Ondo, the list is just growing and growing and growing.

Uh, and so this run-up right here in the face of where we saw, like, the producers manufacturing index contracting, we saw c- the copper to gold ratio contracting, we saw so many different things, and yet here we are finally, not only are all those, all those other signals breaking out, as Matthew Highland has highlighted, but we're also finally seeing this move right here.

Maybe you don't know what the hell I'm talking about.

Tokenized equities, perps on-chain, it's here to stay.

Edel is building this exact same platform on Canton Network, but it's private, which means that institutions are actually ready to use it.

It's an institutional chain.

yeah like canton is the institutional chain that is why the dtcc is working with them that's why there's a number of other big players involved like bank of america and all these other things so yeah this is why edel is so important especially when you look at the numbers that hyperliquid's doing yeah can you imagine when institutions are trading by this perps

He's the co-founder and CBO of Zenith.

Zenith is building an Ethereum compatible execution layer for the Canton network, bringing EVM and SVM environments into the ecosystem already trusted by some of the biggest names in global finance.

We're going to break down what Zenith is building, why Canton matters, how institutions can actually use DeFi infrastructure, and where it all goes next.

Heslin, really excited to have you on the podcast today.

So the rise and fall of... you know, where Web3 stands and institutionalization and corpo chains and everything that everyone's referencing now as, you know, kind of like a takeover of Web3.

This has all been occurring already tangentially to crypto for nearly a decade with hundreds of pilots, you know, the biggest institutions on board and all these different players.

already here right it's not something new that's happened and so the the the manifestation of canton network and the realization that these massive institutions are now at the door knocking on on crypto's doorstep it's not something that happened out of the blue canton network just didn't pop up out of nowhere the team of digital asset has been working for the better part of the last decade building out private DLT solutions.

DLT is distributed ledger technology.

I can go buy the token of the networks that are being utilized by the DTCC.

For example, the DTCC said they're using Canton Network, Chainlink, also Stellar Lumens, right? Those are all tokens that you can buy in the open market and you can buy when it's down and hold long-term or swing trade it.

So this is the opportunity.

So guys, again, make sure you check out that interview that was published on Monday.
