Canton’s CC token emerged as the top gainer on the crypto market on Christmas Eve, rising more than 25% in 24 hours despite thin holiday liquidity and generally bearish sentiment. This rise has seen CC outperform major assets and privacy coins.
This move isn’t driven by retail hype or seasonal speculation. Instead, it reflects a growing institutional narrative around the tokenization of real world assets (RWA) and regulatory clarity, two themes that have gained traction through the end of the year.

Institutional Tokenization Drives Canton Token Rally
At the center of the gathering is canton networka privacy-enabled layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for regulated financial institutions.
Unlike public DeFi chains, Canton allows institutions to transact on-chain while keeping sensitive data private. This is a key requirement for banks, clearinghouses and asset management companies.

Therefore, price movements are very sensitive to developments at the infrastructure level.
Then the momentum picked up DTCC (Deposit Clearing Corporation) We confirmed the progress of tokenizing U.S. Treasury securities managed by DTC on the Canton Network.

This development marked one of the clearest regulatory approvals to date for on-chain US Treasuries.
As a result, the market has begun to reprice Canton as core infrastructure rather than a speculative blockchain project.
In early December, Canton also deepened its RWA stack through a partnership with RedStone, which has become a major oracle provider.
This integration enables real-time compliant price feeds for tokenized assets, bridging institutional markets and DeFi without compromising privacy.
These developments position Canton as a clearing layer for trillions of dollars of traditional financial assets.
Industry estimates suggest that more than $300 billion in transaction volume per day already flows through applications built on the network.
