Meritz targets three areas on October 15

The memorandum of understanding covers the exploration of tokenizing domestic financial assets, examining Canton's privacy-enabled infrastructure for institutional transactions and assessing cross-border uses for tokenized sovereign debt, Bitcoin.com News reported on October 15, 2026. Tokenization means representing an asset digitally on a blockchain. The arrangement concerns potential applications rather than completed transactions or operating products, according to CryptoNews.

The proposed work places Korean financial assets within the country's developing framework for security token offerings. Meritz and the Canton Foundation also identified high-quality debt instruments as possible collateral in cross-border transactions, according to TradeTechEye.

These figures describe recorded network activity rather than maximum capacity.

It also described a DTCC pilot involving more than 30 firms across collateral pledging, securities lending, United States Treasury repo and equity token transfers, according to StockTitan. Canton Strategic Holdings scheduled a public webinar on October 21, 2026, to discuss the report.
