Bithumb, one of South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has listed Canton ($CC) in its Korean Won (KRW) market, with trading going live at 14:00 KST on June 23. The listing gives South Korean retail investors direct fiat access to the native token of Canton Network, an institutional-grade blockchain built by Digital Asset for tokenizing and settling real-world assets.
Canton Coin is designed as a utility token tied to actual network usage rather than speculation. According to Canton Network, the token rewards app builders, users, and infrastructure operators, with a burn-and-mint model that links supply directly to network activity.
Canton Network has attracted a notable roster of institutional backers. Digital Asset raised $135 million in June 2025, in a round led by DRW Venture Capital and Tradeweb Markets, with participation from Goldman Sachs, Citadel Securities, DTCC, and BNP Paribas, among others. That was followed by a $355 million round led by a16z crypto, with further participation from HSBC, Broadridge, CME Ventures, and S&P Global, among others.
Digital Asset says it is working with more than 700 ecosystem participants to position Canton as core infrastructure for global finance. The network supports tokenized securities, settlement operations, and confidential smart contract execution, and is designed to allow institutions to operate on shared blockchain infrastructure while maintaining the privacy and compliance required in regulated markets.
The Bithumb listing brings Canton directly into one of Asia's most active crypto markets, where KRW-denominated trading pairs remain a key gateway for retail participation in digital assets.
