ClearToken, a digital financial market infrastructure (FMI) provider, and Canton Network have formed a strategic partnership.
Under the collaboration, ClearToken will deploy three digital asset modelling language (Daml)-based digital asset platforms (DAPs) directly on the Canton Network: ‘CT Register’, ‘CT Pay’, and ‘CT Settle’.
The firms say the partnership delivers the first FMI-calibre settlement infrastructure for stablecoin FX and tokenised cash flows on a privacy-enabled institutional blockchain, combining ClearToken’s technology and UK FCA licence, with Canton's atomic composability architecture.
Spanning tokenisation, payments, settlement and clearing, the service forms an end-to-end post-trade stack that institutions can adopt independently or as an integrated platform.
All services will be operated by FCA-authorised or Bank of England-supervised entities within the ClearToken group.
Benjamin Santos-Stephens, CEO of ClearToken, remarks: “CT Register, CT Pay, and CT Settle deployed on Canton give institutions the regulated end-to-end settlement stack they need to unlock tokenisation, by providing PvP payment certainty and Delivery Versus Payment (DvP) finality of settlement across every form of digital money.”
“We also continue to pursue Bank of England authorisation to launch our fourth core offering, CT Clear. CT Clear will be our clearing service, designed to reduce counterparty risk by interposing a trusted intermediary between trading counterparties.”
Yuval Rooz, CEO, Digital Asset, adds: “ClearToken’s rollout on Canton will help bring institutional-grade controls to tokenised cash and stablecoin FX.
“What stands out is the combination of FCA-authorised market infrastructure with Canton’s privacy-preserving interoperability, enabling firms to move from issuance through payment and settlement with stronger certainty around finality and risk. It’s a practical blueprint for how regulated markets can adopt tokenisation at scale.”
Mark Williamson, chief commercial officer of ClearToken, adds: “For the first time, a Canton participant can tokenise an asset, settle a cross-currency payment atomically via PvP, and complete DvP settlement all within one regulated environment spanning fiat, tokenised deposits, stablecoins and crypto. That breadth is unique in the market.”
