Fireblocks Integrates Canton Network for Institutional Settlements AllinCrypto February 9, 2026
In February, Fireblocks announced the integration of Canton Network, a privacy blockchain purpose-built for institutional finance.
The integration will allow for custody and settlement support for Canton’s native CC token, allowing banks, custodians, and financial institutions to operate on Canton via Fireblocks.
Fireblocks aims to lower barriers to adoption of Canton’s token for traditional financial firms that require risk controls and regulatory green lights before moving any DeFi assets on-chain.
What Fireblocks Means for Canton’s Growth
Fireblocks’ integration aims to strengthen Canton’s overall position as a leading privacy-focused blockchain for institutional use cases, coming out on top as one of the most used networks by institions seeking a private distributed ledger.
Canton Network itself was designed to balance confidentiality and interoperability, allowing regulated companies to transfer value and assets globally without exposing sensitive data. Other networks like Ripple’s XRP Ledger are adding privacy features like zero-knowledge proofs to compete with Canton’s native privacy, which had been in development for years.
With Fireblocks as an infrastructure partner, Canton Network is able to gain access to thousands of institutions already utilizing Fireblocks for custody services and tokenization.
Stephen Richardson, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Banking at Fireblocks:
“Institutions exploring tokenized assets and regulated digital finance need infrastructure that aligns with how they operate confidentially, predictably, and with strong governance.
Integrating Canton gives our customers a clear path to build and scale private settlement and future tokenization use cases on a network architected for institutional requirements.”
As private settlements, tokenization, and on-chain privacy demands become more of a narrative in 2026, infrastructure partnerships like this suggest Canton Network may become a core settlement layer for institutions, where privacy and compliance are essential.
The question of privacy leaves many investors asking where public distributed ledgers fit in an ever-evolving crypto industry.
