Canton Network eyes European and Asian government bonds after US Treasuries

  • —Tokenized US Treasuries have served as repo collateral on Canton since August 2026
  • —Cross-border repo using tokenized UK gilts ran on LSEG's platform in January 2026
  • —JGB digital-collateral proofs of concept began in April 2026 with MUFG, Mizuho and Nomura
  • —DTCC plans a Canton-based tokenization service in Q4 2026, starting with 25 securities
Why it matters: If DTCC and the Japanese pilots go live, Canton could become a core venue for round-the-clock on-chain repo in sovereign debt.
