OpenAssets, Digital Asset Team Up to Tokenize Capital Markets
OpenAssets is bringing its 'markets-in-a-box' platform to the Canton Network, letting institutions issue and manage tokenized assets via Digital Asset's DA Registry.
OpenAssets, a Pittsburgh-based digital asset infrastructure provider, announced a partnership with Digital Asset on Wednesday aimed at modernizing how institutions participate in capital markets through tokenization technology.
The collaboration centers on integrating OpenAssets' so-called "markets-in-a-box" platform with Canton, the blockchain network developed by Digital Asset. Through that integration, financial institutions will gain the ability to issue and manage their own tokenized assets using Digital Asset's DA Registry, a core component of the Canton ecosystem.

The arrangement positions OpenAssets as an on-ramp for institutions that want exposure to tokenized capital markets infrastructure without building proprietary systems from scratch. By leveraging an existing registry and network, participants can potentially reduce the technical and regulatory overhead typically associated with launching digital asset products.
The announcement reflects a broader trend of established financial market participants exploring permissioned blockchain networks as a path toward faster settlement, improved transparency, and programmable compliance — areas where legacy infrastructure has long faced criticism. Canton, which is designed specifically for financial services workflows, has attracted a growing roster of institutional partners seeking those capabilities.
The partnership was disclosed November 5, 2026. Continue reading at Cryptocurrency.
