New York, Wednesday, June 25th, 2025 – Kaiko, the global digital assets data provider, today announced a strategic partnership with Cumberland’s Denex to build critical data applications on the Canton Network.
This collaboration addresses the data infrastructure needed to connect traditional finance with blockchain technology, making tokenized assets on-chain applications a practical reality.
Building on the momentum behind Canton’s institutional adoption and Kaiko’s recent elevation to Super Validator on the network, this partnership leverages Cumberland’s deep market expertise and Kaiko’s institutional-grade data infrastructure to create the foundation for next-generation financial applications.
“Data is the foundational element of financial markets, making this an exciting project that we believe will significantly expedite institutional adoption,” said Chris Zuehlke, Global Head of Cumberland and Partner at DRW. “Partnering with Kaiko was a natural fit, as we share a mutual commitment to delivering practical applications that meet genuine market demands.”
This collaboration aims to bridge traditional and digital finance infrastructure by bringing Kaiko’s comprehensive market data capabilities to the network:
Making Canton activity and market data available to consumers off-chain.
Bringing off-chain and other-chain data onto Canton.
Empowering third parties to bring data to the network.
Improving network utility through direct integration with real-world financial applications
By making high-quality, auditable data accessible across both on-chain and off-chain systems, the partnership will enable institutional market participants to integrate blockchain technology into their existing workflows seamlessly.
“Our partnership with Cumberland represents a significant step in our commitment to the Canton Network ecosystem,” said Ambre Soubiran, CEO of Kaiko. “By combining their market expertise with our institutional-grade data infrastructure, we’re developing solutions that will be transformative for Canton with critical data-related value propositions for financial institutions.”
The first data applications are launching by the end of summer 2025, leveraging existing Denex modules to deliver fast, functional solutions that address real institutional needs.
Denex, launched in 2024 by Cumberland, provides purpose-built tools to facilitate efficient integrations with the Canton Network. Kaiko will expand these capabilities throughout the coming year, building a comprehensive data layer that supports the growing ecosystem of institutional applications on Canton.
The partnership represents a crucial infrastructure development as the Canton Network continues its rapid growth, with nearly 400 ecosystem participants, including global leaders in both traditional and decentralized finance.
