AMINA Bank AG (“AMINA”), a Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA)-regulated crypto bank with global reach, becomes the first bank to support Canton Coin (CC), the native token of Canton Network, offering custody and trading services to its clients. Canton Network is a public, privacy-preserving blockchain built for capital markets.
Canton has gained significant institutional momentum in recent months, attracting TradFi and DeFi organizations, including the DTCC, Visa, and BitGo, that are building next-generation settlement, tokenisation, custody, and collateral workflows on the network. Canton is also developing an on-chain capital markets ecosystem that encompasses repo, lending, and wrapped asset flows — all under compliance and settlement constraints designed for regulated participants.
AMINA will help reduce friction for professional investors, Super Validators, and institutions running tokenisation and settlement workflows on Canton. Through a single FINMA-regulated institution, AMINA clients can custody and trade Canton Coin with the governance they expect from an institutional banking partner.
Myles Harrison, Chief Product Officer at AMINA, said: “Canton Network represents something we are seeing more broadly in digital assets: infrastructure that has been purpose-built for regulated institutions, not retrofitted. By making Canton Coin available for custody and trading, AMINA is providing clients, whether they are Super Validators or investors seeking exposure to Canton Network’s growth, with the regulated access they need to engage with this ecosystem. Making Canton Coin available is a deliberate step to ensure our clients have regulated access to the infrastructure underpinning institutional finance’s next chapter.”
Viv Diwakar, Head of the Canton Foundation, said: “Canton Network was designed to meet the needs of regulated financial institutions — privacy, compliance, and settlement finality built into the architecture. AMINA shares that philosophy. For Canton Network participants who need a compliant, supervised home for their Canton Coin holdings, AMINA provides that with the credibility and regulatory standing that the ecosystem demands.”
AMINA has established a proven track record of being first to bring strategically significant cryptocurrencies to its professional investor and institutional client base. The bank was the first globally to support Ripple USD (RLUSD) and the first to offer SUI trading and custody, both of which have since seen growing institutional uptake. As Canton Network’s ecosystem continues to develop, AMINA intends to deepen its participation in the network during the period ahead.
