New York, USA, July 25, 2025
T-RIZE Group, a Canadian fintech company focused on institutional-grade asset tokenization, has announced an expanded partnership with the Canton Network, which will see it play a larger role as a validator node operator and active contributor to real-world asset issuance on this privacy-first blockchain designed for regulated financial institutions.
This news follows Digital Asset’s $135 million fundraising round spearheaded by a group of major financial institutions, including Goldman Sachs, Citadel Securities, Tradeweb, DRW, BNP Paribas, DTCC, Circle Ventures, Paxos, and Polychain Capital.
The funding strengthens the Canton Network’s position as the reliable foundation for scalable institutional digital marketplaces.
Why Canton Network’s Role is Crucial
The Canton Network, developed by Digital Asset and governed by the Global Synchronizer Foundation (GSF) of the Linux Foundation, is specifically designed to meet the demands of global financial institutions. It enables privacy-preserving, interoperable transactions while adhering to regulatory requirements.
Canton, with over $4 trillion in tokenized assets and more than $2 trillion in monthly transaction volume, integrates banks, custodians, and institutional market players on a single network. As an active GSF member, T-RIZE receives more access to the institutional-grade infrastructure utilized by the world’s largest financial institutions.
T-RIZE will use this connection to provide tokenized solutions, including structured financial products, sustainable investment instruments, tokenized real estate, AI Energy Offset Reserve Notes, and digital equity assets, all of which are designed for compliance, scalability, and institutional participation. The business will also use federated learning models to improve risk analytics while protecting sensitive institutional data.
T-Rize’s Role
T-RIZE is not only a node operator and governance member in Canton’s ecosystem, but it is also a key driver of tokenization use cases across the network. The business is now putting out tokenized products that make regulated asset classes more accessible to financial institutions.
These offers are intended to broaden access to historically illiquid private markets while increasing liquidity, transparency, and capital efficiency for asset managers and institutional investors.
The RIZE utility coin serves as the foundation for this infrastructure. It is used to access tokenization services, facilitate transactions on the T-RIZE platform, and participate in ecosystem governance activities. RIZE is crucial for aligning ecosystem incentives, linking tokenized assets to institutional infrastructure, and promoting the development of privacy-first financial solutions.
“Canton has set the benchmark for regulated digital finance, supported by many of the world’s most respected financial and trading institutions,” stated Madani Boukalba, CEO of T-RIZE Group. “Our deepened integration allows us to deliver secure, scalable, and sustainable tokenized assets to the market—offering institutions a new way to interact with private markets through compliant blockchain infrastructure.”
