1exchange, a leading regulated exchange for real-world asset (RWA) tokens, has announced its approval as a validator on Canton, a privacy-enabled public blockchain network designed for capital markets. This collaboration aims to bolster 1exchange’s capabilities in tokenising, listing, and trading RWAs with enhanced privacy and security measures.
Canton’s infrastructure allows financial institutions to conduct efficient transactions whilst adhering to confidentiality and compliance requirements. Its selective disclosure capabilities enable participants to share transaction data only with authorised parties, maintaining interoperability across the network. This feature is crucial for financial institutions seeking to engage in connected RWA markets without compromising on modern capital market controls.
As a Recognised Market Operator (RMO) regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), 1exchange provides a marketplace for the tokenisation and secondary trading of RWAs. By integrating with Canton, 1exchange enhances its ability to protect sensitive information, such as investor identities and transaction data, throughout the asset lifecycle. The integration also aims to streamline the issuance of regulated digital assets by incorporating Canton’s compliance and regulatory controls directly into the tokenisation process.
Sheena Lim, CEO of 1exchange, stated, “The future of tokenisation will be defined not only by the assets brought on-chain but also by the quality of the market infrastructure supporting them. Canton aligns closely with the needs of institutional capital markets.”
Yuval Rooz, CEO of Digital Asset and co-founder of Canton, added, “By joining Canton, 1exchange helps expand our presence in Asia and meet the growing regional demand for secure, interoperable digital asset infrastructures.”
This partnership places 1exchange among a growing ecosystem of global financial institutions advancing the next generation of regulated digital capital markets.
