Private networks such as Canton are being used for settlement and transactions that institutions do not want exposed on public infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>That split is becoming more important as tokenised real-world assets grow. On-chain RWA holdings have passed US$26.4 billion (AU$38.8 billion), while moving assets between chains can add 2% to 5% in extra cost.<\/p>\n<p>Ethereum remains the main public venue, with more than US$15 billion (AU$22.1 billion) in tokenised assets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Canton has become a major private settlement network. It processed more than US$6 trillion (AU$8.82 trillion) in RWA value in 2025 and is now handling over US$350 billion (AU$514.5 billion) a day. Its users include JPMorgan, DTCC, Nasdaq, Goldman Sachs, SBI Holdings, BNY and Lloyds Bank.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">2025 was the year regulated finance moved on-chain, and Canton scaled with it.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s our year, wrapped \ud83c\udf81\ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Canton Network (@CantonNetwork) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CantonNetwork\/status\/2005972181101215889?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 30, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The latest step came on March 9, when Zenith launched as an execution layer for Canton.

The main problem is interoperability. The same asset can trade at price gaps of 1% to 3% across different chains. That means tokenisation is scaling, but the market still lacks a simple way to connect regulated private networks with deeper public liquidity.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, it\u2019s considered a leading sector in the crypto industry.
