Canton The Historical Milestone! | XDC Building Real Infrastructure, XLM EURAU is LIVE!

Added: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]What is up, guys? This is indeed a historical milestone that Canton Network has achieved over here with HSBC. Look at this, guys. You will lose. Very excited to add HSBC payments to Canton Network. Soon, we will show what is possible when you have the right partners at the table. This and more about XDC and XLM will be shared in this video. Let's start with Canton Network.

[00:00:30]This one is a bombshell. HSBC through its global payments solutions business has successfully completed a pilot simulating the issuance, transfer, and atomic settlement of its tokenized deposit service on the Canton Network, a public network for regulated institutions with configurable privacy.

[00:00:53]Guys, the configurable privacy element of Canton Network was highlighted time and again. The reason people often said, the proponents, the advocates of Canton Network often said that this is why Canton is an attraction, a magnet point for the institutions. And it is proving correct.

[00:01:17]Those who were skeptical about it are now realizing what Canton is all about.

[00:01:22]This pilot marks the first time HSBC's TDS was issued and used on a public blockchain. During the controlled pilot with Canton enabled applications digital assets, HSBC simulated the transfer of tokenized deposits and the atom atomic settlement of tokenized deposits against other digital assets. Why are we saying that this is a historical milestone? Why Canton Network is a history maker? The reason is that, guys, this is now practical. A lot of projects have claimed theoretically that they have utility, they're working with institutions. There are a lot of them in the crypto market. But, Canton Network and the ones that we cover often, they they do not claim, they show they show through the partnerships. And when it comes to Canton Network, it goes a step further. It implements it in inside its infrastructure. The pilot represents a significant milestone in HSBC's tokenization journey, demonstrating tokenized deposits can be issued by HSBC and settled atomically with digital assets on the Canton Network. By the way, Manish Kohli, head of global payments solutions at HSBC said, and we quote, "This work highlights how tokenization is evolving within the banking sector and the infrastructure needed to support it at scale. Our focus is on building secure, interoperable capabilities that enable clients to move money more efficiently across different environments while maintaining the trust and regulatory standards expected of a global bank." Now, we understand that these institutions, a powerhouse like HSBC, they now realize that they need innovation. From this, we understand that they are finally at a at a point in time where it is make or break. Either they go obsolete, either they go down in history as those who did not innovate, or they transform and integrate into the new infrastructure that Canton Network and the likes are building. Yuval Roos, CEO of Digital Asset and co-founder of Canton Network said, and we quote, "Tokenized deposits are gaining traction across capital markets, corporate banking, and treasury. And Canton is quickly becoming a primary network for deployment, enabling tokenized deposits to move seamlessly across institutions and applications while maintaining privacy, control, and interoperability interoperability." We have to basically highlight and stress on these three words that Canton has Yuval has mentioned over here. Privacy, control, and interoperability, guys.

[00:04:38]By privacy, we mean customized privacy, we mean flexible privacy, we mean a privacy where the institutions are going to be getting a custom-based solution instead of something that is not controllable, it is uncontrollable. This brings us to control. This entire environment, it is controlled in a way, and control is pretty much different than centralized.

[00:05:05]It is controlled in a way where you get sensitive data secured, you get privacy intact, you get whatever you want, however you want, however the institutions desire. And you've got interoperability intact as well to connect various layers of blockchain with the legacy systems and and vice versa, guys. So, this is what Canton is bringing to the game, and it is all over the place. First time isn't just a headline, it is it is a signal according to Cyprus. For the first time, a global bank like HSBC issued and used tokenized deposits on a public blockchain. This is why Canton is the history maker. When the institutions say first time, what they're really showing is the tech is ready, the compliance is ready, the infrastructure is being built for scale.

[00:06:02]Projects like Canton are the ones that will take this industry forward to the next level.

[00:06:09]Memes cannot do that, guys. Look at this. JP Morgan will expand JPM Coin via Onyx onto Canton Network in 2026, which already settles $350 billion plus daily in US Treasury repo. I mean, this is huge, guys. What Canton is doing is unprecedented. The simulation included issuance, transfer, and atomic settlement of deposits against digital assets with interoperability across settlement rails extended coordinated settlement across cash and asset legs.

[00:06:47]Awesome, guys.

[00:06:48]Why why is it a big deal? Why is the Canton pilot HSBC's Canton pilot a big deal? According to Token over here, it might finally mark the end of all those bank POCs that never go anywhere. Bank have been experimenting with tokenization for years, and they've been stuck at the same stage. Nice demo, works internally, never scales. HSBC already has a tokenized deposit service.

[00:07:16]So, for a long time, it it it didn't work. And now, they tested issuing them on Canton and settling them against other digital assets in a shared environment. This changes the model. It is doing it in a system where data is not globally exposed. Counterparties only see what they should. Different applications can still interact, and regulatory constraints are preserved. And this is why Canton is different, guys. Canton flips that assumption. There is no global visibility by default. Each participant only sees what they are meant to see, and this is a subtle game-changer. Transactions are shared strictly on a need-to-know basis. Other chains like Ethereum and Solana cannot do that. This is why Canton is the history maker, guys.

[00:08:14]So, this is awesome. Let us now move on ahead to XDC. What is it all about? What is XDC doing? XDC doesn't position like a typical typical crypto. Makes sense given they're not really crypto. They are enterprise DLT for tokenized global trade, and their affiliation with key organization reflects that. So, trade leaders recognize the disruptions that DLT is already causing. We see it across finance with RWAs and payments. First, XDC Network was specializing in global trade finance. Now, it is expanding its scope to payments to other avenues as well. From starting out in Dubai Global Markets RegLab Sandbox to now being used by financial institutions worldwide to enable e-trade. XDC sits perfectly in the middle between all of that, guys, from trade finance to operate in harmony with all things DLT, tokenization, and more. We've got partnerships with EITFA, affiliations with Commodity Trading Club, AIMA, Consor, TFD Initiative, the Digital Economy Council of Australia. XDC Network is a mover, a trillion-dollar mover in this industry, guys. And it constantly is making progress. Let us now check this out. Look at this. This is a recap for the for the week.

[00:09:45]Look at this. XDC Network joins Commodity Trading Club.

[00:09:50]Silo V3 live on XDC Network. XDC Network goes live on Dfns. And over here XDC pulse has expanded this and you have to check this out 5-minutes long video to understand what has been happening and transpiring. We're going to be looking at a small bit from this to understand what XDC is doing guys.

[00:10:13]>> [music] >> Hello everyone and welcome to the March 2026 edition of XDC pulse. I'm Rebecca and this month we're covering DeFi growth, real world asset initiatives, and institutional progress across the XDC network. And I'm Benny. As always, nothing we share is financial advice.

[00:10:36]Our goal is to keep you informed on real progress happening across the XDC ecosystem. We've also received messages from the community regarding the current situation in the UAE and we would like to share that operations continue as normal with the team working remotely and staying aligned with Dubai time.

[00:10:57]While in-person engagements remain limited for the time being. A key highlight this month was the selection of startups for the XDC DeFi accelerator in partnership with Plug and Play. The selected projects are R2 Yield, Use Teller, Term Labs, Lantern Fi, Bonded Credit, Bulle Network, TallySwap, Super Lend, Hashfire, Neuro What AI, and Hawklish Capital. Together, this represent the next phase of DeFi growth on XDC. These teams were selected to support a clear vision focused on increasing DeFi total value locked and strengthening liquidity across the network and building essential DeFi infrastructure. Their participation represents a significant step toward creating a more scalable, efficient, and resilient DeFi ecosystem on XDC.

[00:11:55]Guys, from the looks of it XDC network is working on its DeFi ecosystem as well and this is really awesome. Uh it is trying its level best to innovate as much as possible.

[00:12:09]2026 in New York and the DC Blockchain Summit in Washington, DC. Engaging with policy makers, financial institutions, and industrial leaders on tokenization and digital asset infrastr- Uh this is also good guys. They need to to gain exposure. They need to connect with the like-minded financial players, actors, stakeholders, and so on. XDC Uh and in my opinion, XDC do is doing a wonderful job to build real world blockchain infrastructure for finance, trade, and tokenization.

[00:12:45]This brings us to XLM. Some hidden nuggets coming out of XLM. We're getting news the Vietnam government's getting further involved with DLT, Tokenizer with a bang always and they're doing so with US firms. Though, what is interesting here was there was only one public DLT mentioned and that was none other than Stellar network. Outside of Stellar, we see other key players such as Kraken and Polymorphic Capital listed, but as Tokenizer over here told us that Stellar is indeed one in one of a kind. We're already beginning to see Stellar expand into government related payment use cases. This is what we're talking about. There will be a time when governments will utilize the prowess and technology of projects like Stellar and the and the likes.

[00:13:39]More regulated EU adoption is coming to XLM. All Unities MiCA regulated stablecoin EURA EURA is now integrated into the Stellar ecosystem. This is now Stellar's fourth MiCA regulated stablecoin, but it goes deeper than that. We're already seeing use of EURA on Stellar by PwC.

[00:14:05]This is what we're talking about guys.

[00:14:07]Look at this. EURA is live on Stellar.

[00:14:11]This is the news.

[00:14:13]EURA is live on Stellar. All Unities stable is fully backed MiCA compliant euro stablecoin brings euro liquidity on chain, unlocking fast, low cost cross-border payments, and institutional grade settlement at scale. Uh Stellar knows no bounds. Stellar does not know any stop. It is constantly building, constantly evolving, and constantly consolidating its presence in the world of finance, in every sector, in every arena, and it includes every feature, including privacy. And a deep question goes, can privacy and transparency coexist? That is what we set out to explore with RektHQ in a partnership with Stellar.org. A really interesting video over here guys.

[00:15:03]Blockchain promised something [music] better than traditional finance.

[00:15:07]Trustless, borderless, free from middlemen.

[00:15:10]It delivered, [music] but with a huge trade-off. So, when a company makes a payment on chain, the details of the transactions themselves get exposed. Institutions [music] wanted it, but not like this. You have a big deal closing out and your competitors can actually see the deal you're closing.

[00:15:28]So, they walked [music] away, built walls, closed systems. I think that everyone has really gotten to the place to [music] understand that public open networks for blockchain have won. But what if that trade-off >> [music] >> was never necessary? So, privacy and transparency are absolutely possible together. A new architecture is emerging. You're transparent [music] at the base layer and you make it open at the base layer, but then you create configurable privacy at the application [music] layer. Meaning, if you as the asset issuer want to make sure that there [music] are certain things that you want to put around that asset that can remain private. Privacy enables blockchains to reach their full potential [music] and their full potential is all about equal world access to the financial system.

[00:16:13]>> [music] >> Can privacy and transparency coexist?

[00:16:17]Stellar is making them coexist, privacy and transparency. Anyways guys, what do you think about all of these projects?

[00:16:24]Can on XDC, Stellar, and others. Do you think that they are indeed the history makers? We believe they are. What do you think?
