New offerings enable secure self-custody and transfer of privacy-enabled digital assets for individuals and institutions
Paris, France, August 19, 2026 – Ledger™, the global leader in digital asset security for individuals and institutions, today announced support for Canton Coin and the broader ecosystem of privacy-enabled digital assets on Canton Network.
Canton is designed for institutional onchain finance, processing more than $9 trillion in real-world assets onchain each month. Ledger’s integration provides Canton institutional users the opportunity to securely hold, manage, and transfer privacy-enabled digital assets using Ledger products.
“Canton plus Ledger puts institutional-grade privacy and market access for digital assets in your control,’’ said Sebastien Badault, VP of Enterprise at Ledger. “It opens up access to Canton via Ledger’s secure wallet and institutional self-custody platform, backed by uncompromising security, so institutions and custodians can unlock even greater utility and scale for privacy-enabled digital assets, stablecoins and applications on the network.”
The launch makes Canton Coin, the utility token of Canton Network, available to hold and transfer on Ledger Wallet™ (desktop and mobile), a majority of Ledger signers, and Ledger Enterprise. Ledger users can securely create and manage Canton accounts to send and receive Canton-native assets using Ledger's hardware-secured products. Transactions on Canton are designed to preserve confidentiality without exposing activity on public block explorers.
Ledger Enterprise has extended its hardware-backed institutional wallet solution to the Canton Network with a tailored integration that leverages multiple validators for additional safeguards. Institutions gain Canton-specific features to apply HSM-backed governance and key management across their operations, covering use cases from digital payments to securities custody, with automated workflows and clear signing for full control and security.
‘’Canton was designed to give institutions and investors the benefits of a public blockchain without compromising privacy or control,’’ said Eric Saraniecki, Head of Network Strategy at Digital Asset, co-founder of the Canton Network. ‘’Integrating Ledger’s industry-leading hardware security brings another critical layer of trust to the Canton ecosystem. It enables users, from institutions to retail investors, to securely hold and transfer Canton Coin and other privacy-enabled assets while maintaining the confidentiality and interoperability that make Canton unique.’’
This integration demonstrates growing demand for an open network where institutions and investors can participate, build, and grow, while also maintaining privacy and independent control over assets, data, and applications. To learn more about the Canton and Ledger collaboration, read here.
