Major financial institutions, including Goldman Sachs, BNY Mellon and Cboe Global Markets, have completed a large-scale pilot test using blockchain technology.
<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-03-12/goldman-bny-mellon-test-canton-network-blockchain-platform" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">According</a> to a March 12 Bloomberg report, institutional investors executed over 350 simulated transactions via distributed ledger technology in areas such as tokenized assets, fund registry, digital cash, repo, securities lending and margin management on the Canton network, which was launched in May 2023 by startup Digital Asset Holdings. The pilot test included 15 asset managers, 13 banks, four custodians, three exchanges and the stablecoin issuer Paxos Trust.
In its announcement the same day, the Canton Network <a href="https://www.canton.network/pilot-press-release" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">said</a> that 155 participants from 45 major organizations have since demonstrated settlement across 22 permissioned blockchains connected to its ledger. The firm stated:&nbsp;
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “Over a four-day period, participants were invited to try 22 dApps comprising five fund registries, five cash registries, three bond registries, three trading, four margin, and two financing apps, to exchange tokenized securities, money market funds, and deposits across applications.”
</blockquote>
The Canton Network is a privacy-enabled interoperable blockchain network <a href="https://www.canton.network/press-release" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">designed</a> for institutional investors. In part, the blockchain allows financial institutions to move regulated assets, data and cash between each other in real time.&nbsp;
“With the Canton Network, a digital bond and a digital payment can be composed across two separate applications into a single atomic transaction, guaranteeing simultaneous exchange without operational risk,” according to a press release from Canton. It added, “Likewise, a digital asset could be used in a collateralized financial transaction via connection to a repo or leveraged loan application.”
Current participants of the Canton Network include Deloitte, Deutsche Börse, Microsoft, Moody’s and S&amp;P Global.&nbsp;
Over the past year, tokenization has garnered significant interest from institutional investors and celebrities alike. On Feb. 7, the Hong Kong subsidiary of Swiss multinational bank UBS&nbsp;<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ubs-hong-kong-tokenizes-warrants-ethereum-osl">tokenized an options call warrant</a> of Chinese smartphone giant Xiaomi’s stock on Ethereum together with local crypto exchange OSL. A few weeks later, Argentine soccer legend Lionel Messi <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/volatility-hits-planet-token-lionel-messi-partnership-rwa">announced the release</a> of a tokenized product in partnership with Join The Planet, an environmental nonprofit organization behind the PLANET token.&nbsp;
