Digital Asset has secured $135 million in funding led by DRW Venture Capital and Tradeweb Markets, with participation from key players in traditional finance and crypto.
Participants in the funding round included BNP Paribas, Circle Ventures, Citadel Securities, DTCC, Virtu Financial, and Paxos.
The funding reinforces Digital Asset's position in the intersection of capital markets and Web3 innovation.
Digital Asset's ecosystem centers around the Canton Network, a blockchain platform with configurable privacy for enterprise use.
Institutions like Goldman Sachs and BNY Mellon are already exploring tokenizing real-world assets on the Canton Network.
The funding milestone validates the vision of a privacy-enabled public blockchain for institutional adoption, according to CEO Yuval Rooz.
Canton supports various asset classes and will leverage the funding to onboard more institutions and tokenized products.
Digital Asset's focus on enterprise-grade privacy and compliance-ready infrastructure could drive mainstream financial integration of blockchain technology.
