SINGAPORE, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 1exchange, a leading regulated real-world asset (RWA) exchange for listing and trading RWA tokens, today announced that it has been approved as a validator on Canton, the only privacy-enabled public blockchain network purpose-built for capital markets. 1exchange will utilize the network’s privacy-preserving, interoperable blockchain infrastructure to support its future tokenization, listing and trading of real-world assets (RWA) with enhanced privacy and security.
As regulated institutional RWA markets continue to evolve, financial institutions increasingly require infrastructure that supports efficient transactions while meeting complex confidentiality, compliance and information-sharing requirements. Canton addresses these needs through its selective disclosure capabilities, enabling participants to share transaction data only with relevant and authorized parties while maintaining interoperability across the network. This provides a foundation for financial institutions to participate in connected RWA markets without compromising the controls expected in modern capital markets.
As a MAS-regulated Recognized Market Operator (RMO), 1exchange provides a regulated marketplace for the tokenization, listing, and secondary trading of real-world assets. By integrating with Canton, 1exchange enhances its tokenization capabilities with privacy-preserving infrastructure purpose-built for institutional assets, enabling issuers to better protect commercially sensitive information, including investor identities, ownership records, and transaction data throughout the asset lifecycle.
1exchange also aims to leverage Canton’s compliance and regulatory controls, including transfer restrictions and investor eligibility requirements, directly into its tokenization process, helping streamline the issuance of regulated digital assets while supporting institutional governance standards.
“The future of tokenization will be defined not only by the assets brought on-chain, but also by the quality of the market infrastructure supporting them,” said Sheena Lim, CEO of 1exchange. “Canton aligns closely with the needs of institutional capital markets. Through this integration, we look forward to exploring new opportunities for tokenized asset issuance and trading while continuing to build a regulated and trusted marketplace for tokenized securities.”
“We’re seeing a growing number of regulated institutions integrate tokenized assets into their existing workflows. These participants need the speed, liquidity, and composability of on-chain markets without compromising confidentiality, governance, or regulatory oversight,” said Yuval Rooz, CEO of Digital Asset and co-founder of Canton. “By joining Canton, 1exchange helps expand our presence in Asia and meet the growing regional demand for secure, interoperable digital asset infrastructures.”
Joining Canton places 1exchange alongside a growing ecosystem of leading global financial institutions and market infrastructure providers, collectively advancing the next generation of regulated digital capital markets.
