Receipts Depositary Corporation (RDC), a digital asset depositary, has joined the Canton Network, a privacy-enabled blockchain ecosystem designed for institutional assets, as both a validator and a depositary receipts (DR) depositary.
As part of this initiative, RDC will leverage its expertise in issuing traditional and digital asset DRs to work towards introducing tokenised depositary receipts on the Canton Network.
This initiative intends to expand investment opportunities by combining the mobility and efficiency of tokenisation with the trusted regulatory and governance framework of depositary receipts, with the goal of enabling investors to move assets seamlessly and securely across jurisdictions.
As a validator, RDC will also contribute to the resilience, security, and governance of the Canton Network.
Bryant Kim, chief operating officer of Receipts Depositary Corporation, says: "By joining the Canton Network, we are working on extending the utility of depositary receipts into the digital era.
“Tokenised DRs intend to allow institutions and qualified investors to access a broader range of assets with the same regulatory protections they have trusted for decades, but now with the added benefits of blockchain interoperability, settlement efficiency, and programmability."
Georg Schneider, global head of RWA, digital asset, adds: “Receipts Depositary Corporation is a pioneer in bridging traditional finance with the digital asset economy. By introducing tokenised DRs, they are helping to bring crypto assets into traditional finance through a well-known, trusted financial instrument.
“This is exactly the type of interoperable, compliant, and institution-grade innovation that the Canton Network is designed to support — expanding access to global markets in a way that both TradFi and DeFi participants can embrace.”
