We Bring Equity Onchain





















Hi Akyra, May I suggest looking at this through a non 'crypto-maxxi' lens & with a non 'pump&dump' short-term vision to offer retails a perspective over several years! TradFi is still running on infrastructure from the 60s, a lot of it still on mainframes, some moved to cloud. I talked about this in my keynote at @blockworksDAS earlier this week (youtube.com/watch?v=j_QFck… ) @CantonNetwork is not here to compete with L1/L2/L3/Lx, and their utility tokens. It competes with AWS, Google Cloud, & Azure to make legacy financial infrastructure evolve ! Is it decentralized enough? Public enough? Permissionless enough? You can see the glass half empty, but many others see it half full. And they're right. Think about the infrastructure arc: before the cloud, infra was pure CapEx. The cloud turned it into OpEx, and that was a great move. Canton, via its Canton Coin ( $CC ), has the potential to turn it into a profit center, or at least significantly lower the cost center. You can critique the tokenomics, the structure, the players ; but it's fair to recognize what that shift represents. Align the biggest financial institutions with the right incentives to move off cloud & to the blockchain. Who else has made that possible ? Been fed with PRs for years but we have to recognize that @digitalasset 's team made it & are all-in here. And what makes me most bullish isn't the CC that my company earned & holds (we are not the giants you point but we got coins for being active, for our utility), it's the interoperability Canton enables, because once TradFi moves onto Canton, the bridge to more decentralized ecosystems becomes much easier. I'll have a lot more to share on interoperability soon. To make an elephant dance, you don't whip it ; you give it a reason to move. To make TradFi drop its systems, you need the right tokenomics, trust & team. Once the financial world has a settlement layer that's onchain, mindsets shift, interoperability is unlocked & composability follows. That's when you can start building decentralized finance at scale.


Private markets are behaving like public markets, without public-market infrastructure. Liquidity is accelerating on top of broken infrastructure. Secondaries are scaling. Tender offers are becoming normal. Banks are building distribution for private securities. But the system of record hasn’t moved. Ownership still lives offchain, with fragmented cap tables, manual compliance, and siloed records. The unlock: Move the cap table onchain. Make ownership, transfers, and compliance part of the infrastructure. This is what we’ve been building at @fairmint: • $1.5B+ in equity processed onchain • SEC-registered transfer agent since 2023 • Built on the Open Cap Table Protocol (OCP) with leading U.S. law firms Not reinventing the system. Upgrading it from within. That was my core point at @blockworksDAS yesterday. If you’re here today, come by Booth K29 and meet the team.
