Canton Network: European Market Infrastructure
Canton Network's January 2026 expansion integrated major European market infrastructure providers—Euroclear, Euronext, LSEG—demonstrating genuine global capability.
Summary
European market infrastructure participation required Canton to support multi-currency settlement, European government bonds, and MiCA regulatory compliance.
What happened
Euroclear, Euronext, and LSEG integrated with Canton rather than building proprietary blockchain networks, recognizing shared infrastructure benefits.
