Have you ever wondered why transferring money between banks is so slow and expensive? Frankly speaking, traditional finance is like a series of information islands, with institutions not trusting each other, so everything has to go through complicated clearing and settlement processes. The idea behind Canton Network is very interesting—it has built a "high-speed channel with privacy protection," allowing major banks to securely tokenize and trade real assets like stocks, bonds, and government bonds on the blockchain. What's the key? Only the trading parties can see the transaction details; others cannot peek, which is a real necessity for institutions.

The network's native token $CC is the "fuel" that keeps the system running. You need it to pay transaction fees, and you also rely on it to earn rewards for participating in node operations. The project emphasizes that the value of this token comes purely from real usage, not hype or speculative concepts.

Why are so many people optimistic about it now? First, the RWA (Real World Asset on-chain) track is really booming. Traditional financial assets like stocks, bonds, and real estate total hundreds of trillions of dollars, and market forecasts suggest that by 2030, on-chain assets could surpass $10 trillion. Canton is perfectly positioned at this trend, currently conducting pilot projects with large assets like U.S. Treasury bonds.

Second, the financial institutions backing it are major players. Goldman Sachs, DTCC (the core clearing and settlement system in the U.S.), Morgan Stanley, Nasdaq—these Wall Street giants are involved. 2026 will be a watershed year, as the DTCC's government bond tokenization pilot is set to go live in the first half of the year, meaning real business volume is coming.

The most unique aspect? No pre-mined tokens, and no tokens allocated in advance to teams or investors. All $CC must be earned through actual contributions—running nodes, developing applications, or trading on the network. Recently, its price has increased by 18%, which seems to be driven not by hype but by news from institutions and increasing real-world demand. This "use to earn" logic is actually more solid than projects that rely solely on marketing hype.
