[Crypto World] The company Digital Asset recently secured several major investments—Bank of New York Mellon, iCapital, Nasdaq, and S&P Global have all participated. Behind this round of funding lies a signal: institutional players are accelerating their entry into Canton Network.

So what’s the story behind Canton? Simply put, it’s a public Layer-1 chain that anyone can use, with flexible privacy and compliance features. It currently supports over $6 trillion in on-chain assets, covering use cases like bonds and stocks—traditional financial instruments—with more than 600 institutions participating.

Executives from the investors mentioned that Canton has done a good job building a foundational infrastructure that is interoperable and privacy-protecting. The ambition behind this infrastructure is clear—to truly connect traditional finance and decentralized finance.

Mellon and Nasdaq have both entered the game. Are they trying to institutionalize on-chain assets... But as for that 6 trillion figure, we really need to take a closer look at how exactly it's calculated.
