AMINA Bank AG, a Swiss regulated digital asset bank supervised by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), has become the first bank to support Canton Coin (CC), the native token of the Canton Network, by offering custody and trading services to its clients.
A major step toward institutional blockchain finance
This milestone represents a significant move in bridging traditional banking with blockchain infrastructure, as Canton Network continues to position itself as a privacy-enabled public blockchain designed specifically for capital markets.
The network is built to support advanced financial workflows, including settlement, tokenization, collateral management, and custody, all within a regulated and compliance-focused environment tailored for institutional participants.
Growing institutional momentum for Canton Network
Canton Network has recently gained strong traction among financial institutions and fintech players, attracting major organizations from both traditional finance and decentralized finance, including DTCC, Visa, and BitGo.
These participants are actively developing next-generation workflows for settlement, lending, repurchase agreements, and wrapped asset transactions on the network, all designed to operate within regulatory and compliance frameworks.
AMINA Bank enables regulated access to Canton Coin
Through this initiative, AMINA Bank reduces barriers for institutional investors, validators, and financial institutions engaging with tokenization and settlement workflows on Canton Network.
By providing custody and trading of Canton Coin within a fully regulated Swiss banking framework, AMINA enables clients to interact with the ecosystem under institutional-grade governance and compliance standards.
Leadership perspective on regulated digital infrastructure
Myles Harrison, Chief Product Officer at AMINA Bank, stated that Canton Network reflects a broader shift toward blockchain infrastructure designed specifically for regulated institutions rather than retrofitted solutions.
He emphasized that offering Canton Coin custody and trading ensures clients have regulated access to infrastructure that will support the next phase of institutional finance.
Shared vision for compliant digital ecosystems
Viv Diwakar, Head of Canton Foundation, noted that Canton Network is built with privacy, compliance, and settlement finality at its core to meet the requirements of regulated financial institutions.
He added that AMINA shares this philosophy by providing a trusted and compliant banking gateway for participants holding Canton Coin within the ecosystem.
Proven track record in digital asset innovation
AMINA Bank has established itself as a pioneer in institutional digital asset banking, previously becoming the first global bank to support Ripple USD (RLUSD) and the first to offer custody and trading for SUI tokens.
Both assets have since experienced increased institutional adoption, reinforcing AMINA’s role as an early mover in regulated crypto banking services.
Global expansion and regulatory footprint
AMINA Bank operates under multiple regulatory frameworks, including Switzerland’s FINMA, Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), and Austria’s FMA under MiCAR.
This multi-jurisdictional presence strengthens its ability to deliver regulated digital asset services across global markets as institutional demand for blockchain-based financial infrastructure continues to grow.
