AMINA Becomes First FINMA-Regulated Bank to Support Canton Coin Custody and Trading

The move opens a regulated route for institutions to use Canton's capital‑markets blockchain.

Overview

  • Swiss crypto bank AMINA introduced regulated custody and trading for Canton Coin, becoming the first FINMA‑supervised lender to do so.
  • Institutional clients can now hold and trade Canton Coin on AMINA’s Swiss banking platform without using crypto‑native custodians or exchanges.
  • The integration gives regulated access to the Canton Network for tokenized assets, collateral management, repo activity, and settlement workflows.
  • Canton Network, built by Digital Asset, has backing from major firms including DTCC, Visa, BitGo, Goldman Sachs, and Citadel.
  • Recent ecosystem steps include BitGo expanding in April from custody to trading and on‑chain settlement and S&P Dow Jones Indices placing a US Treasury Index on Canton, while AMINA’s earlier Hong Kong and Austrian approvals broaden its cross‑border reach.
