AUGUST 4TH, 2025 | NEW YORK

New York, NY – August 4, 2025 – Kaiko, the global leader in digital asset data and infrastructure services for enterprises, today announced the launch of the first data on-ramp service for the Canton Network. 

The data on-ramp is now fully operational, bringing both Kaiko’s and eligible third-party IP-owned data products directly onto Canton Mainnet. This provides institutional participants with secure, verifiable access to high-quality financial data for on-chain capital markets applications, a significant milestone in Canton’s evolution as the premier blockchain platform for regulated markets.

The initial feeds will enable participants to mark-to-market crypto assets and currencies used as collateral on Canton, leveraging Kaiko’s institutional-grade, regulated pricing data to address the critical need for reliable valuation in on-chain financial applications. More information and data samples are available at onchain.kaiko.com/canton.

Kaiko is already engaged as a design partner on several collateral management initiatives within the Canton Network, supporting collateral marking and valuation – essential building blocks for collateral mobility on-chain. These collaborations ensure that Kaiko’s data services align with the evolving needs of institutional participants.

Marking the first in a series of planned developments, Kaiko’s data on-ramp service implements a secure, verifiable method to write off-chain market data directly to Canton Mainnet, preserving source IP ownership, ensuring auditability, and supporting proper licensed use and compliance for data consumers. This CeDeFi infrastructure allows Canton participants to access the same trusted, transparent, and actionable financial data that has underpinned institutional decision-making for over a decade.

“Launching the first data on-ramp service on Canton represents a fundamental advancement in on-chain capital markets infrastructure,” said Ambre Soubiran, CEO of Kaiko. “We’re bringing institutional-grade data directly onto the blockchain, enabling sophisticated financial applications that require the highest standards of data quality and reliability.”

The data on-ramp service includes comprehensive documentation demonstrating data integrity and verifiability, ensuring that all data published to Canton meets regulatory and compliance standards. This transparency is crucial for regulated entities that must demonstrate the reliability and auditability of their data sources.

Having reliable, institutional-grade data available on-chain is a game-changer for regulated financial applications,” said Kelly Mathieson, Chief Business Development Officer at Digital Asset. “Kaiko’s data services lay a critical foundation for scalable, compliant capital markets activity on Canton. This milestone exemplifies how the network is evolving to support the next generation of financial infrastructure.”

This launch builds on Kaiko’s expanding role within the Canton Network ecosystem, following the company’s elevation to Super Validator status. As a primary infrastructure provider and design partner, Kaiko is delivering the foundational services that enable institutional adoption of on-chain capital markets.

“This data on-ramp service exemplifies our mission to be the foundation of the new digital finance economy,” added Ambre Soubiran. “By making our regulatory-compliant and auditable data available directly on Canton, we’re enabling institutions to leverage blockchain technology while maintaining the data standards required for regulated operations.”

The new service fulfills key commitments outlined in Kaiko’s roadmap, demonstrating the company’s dedication to delivering tangible value to the Canton Network. Additional data feeds and use cases are planned for rollout throughout August and beyond, based on participant demand and market requirements. Two core priorities drive this roadmap: enabling third parties to use Kaiko’s data on-ramp as-a-service for distributing their IP-owned data products on Canton, and continuing to develop and distribute Kaiko’s own customized data solutions through the on-ramp infrastructure.
