BitGo expands institutional custody support to Canton Network

BitGo has added custody support for Canton Network, allowing institutional investors to tap into the crypto infrastructure providers’ solution for secure holding and management of the native Canton token.

BitGo announced its support that brings qualified custody for the Canton Coin token to institutions on Oct. 29, noting that the move means the platform is now the first U.S.-based qualified custodian for CC. The move comes not long after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission allowed BitGo, Ripple and Coinbase to become qualified custodians.

Canton, a public blockchain designed for institutional-grade privacy, boasts over $6 trillion in on-chain assets, and close to $280 billion in daily repo. The platform’s more than 600 validators sees Canton become not just a thriving ecosystem but also a huge player in the tokenized assets and stablecoin settlements space.

The Canton Network’s privacy-first architecture connects digital assets and traditional finance, with 24/7 settlement, collateral mobility, and institutional control.

Offering its solution to the benefit of users on this network is the goal, Chen Fang, the  company’s chief revenue officer, said.

“BitGo is committed to supporting the institutional adoption of digital asset networks and providing meaningful utility enabled by Canton. This underscores our dedication to providing institutional-grade security and services for emerging ecosystems,” Fang noted.

BitGo to offer institutional insurance

BitGo’s support will cut across a range of services, including self-custody deposits, withdrawals, token standard integration and stablecoins.

The integration also brings Go Network compatibility, trading and liquidity access. 

“This represents a significant step towards institutional adoption of CC and support for the broader Canton ecosystem,” said Melvis Langyintuo, executive director of the Canton Foundation.

According to details, the integration with Canton offers regulated, cold-storage custody solutions as well as insurance protection worth up to $250 million.
