Mark Wendland, Chairman and CEO of Canton Strategic Holdings

“Tokenization creates more efficient access to equity markets for investors and greater transparency for issuers, and the SEC's Innovation Exemption has set up the framework to bring tokenized U.S. equities onshore”

“We are proud to be the first publicly traded company to work with TSV and Fairmint as they build a compliant platform for tokenized equities on the Canton Network, the only blockchain purpose-built for regulated financial infrastructure”

Ali Abrar, CEO of TSV LLC

“We were the first to formally notify the SEC of our intent to operate a tokenized securities venue, and we wanted our first listing to set the standard”

Ali Abrar, CEO of TSV LLC

“Thanks to the work we've done with Canton Strategic Holdings and Fairmint, investors on TSV trade shares that carry the same rights as the Company's stock. Using the Tradecraft protocol, approved participants can provide liquidity and trade at any hour, with every trade settling atomically on the Canton Network.”

Joris Delanoue, CEO and co-founder of Fairmint

“Bringing public-company shares onchain through the Canton Network opens a new chapter for equity markets”

Joris Delanoue, CEO and co-founder of Fairmint

“Since we founded the company, we've been building infrastructure for programmable equity, with official ownership records and transfer controls built into the same system. Our approach ensures tokenized shares carry the full rights of the company's stock, protecting investors while keeping the issuer in control. We look forward to working with Canton Strategic Holdings through our Onchain Transfer Agent services.”
