Ripple Custody Integrates Canton Network Support for Institutional Clients

Ripple Custody has announced the integration of the Canton Network into its platform, enabling institutions to hold and transfer Canton assets seamlessly. This update, part of Ripple Custody version 1.43 launched on October 5, 2026, introduces support for Canton Coin (CC), also known as Amulet, along with any CIP-56 tokens issued through the Digital Asset (DA) Registry.

The integration employs a bring-your-own-validator (BYOV) model, allowing clients to connect the custody platform to their own validators while retaining control over their signing keys. This ensures that Ripple does not hold the keys to clients' assets, maintaining a higher level of security.

Additional features in this release include pre-approvals for incoming assets and a two-step transfer process, enhancing transaction oversight. Clients will have a 24-hour window to review and sign prepared transactions before they expire.

Currently, Canton support is available only through the API, which means institutions must have the technical capability to integrate this feature. The lack of direct support for certain advanced functions limits the use cases for Canton assets on the platform, although the integration works with both on-premises and hybrid SaaS environments.

Canton is recognized for its appeal to regulated financial institutions, offering sub-transaction privacy and a unique “network of networks” structure. Major players like Goldman Sachs and BNY Mellon are already utilizing Canton infrastructure for tokenized assets, indicating the growing importance of this blockchain in regulated finance.
