Talos Becomes a Super Validator on the Canton Network, Advancing the Future of Institutional Markets

Talos, the premier provider of institutional digital asset technology and data for trading and portfolio management, today announced it is operating as a Super Validator on the Canton Network, advancing its mission of connecting institutions to the digital asset ecosystem. Following its acquisition of Coin Metrics earlier this year, the combined entity not only serves as a Super Validator, but also provides data and network intelligence through its Canton application, and trading and settlement support through its technology and connectivity to liquidity providers. 

The team that built Coin Metrics had been playing an active role in the Canton ecosystem since they joined as a Super Validator in March 2025. In July, they launched a network intelligence app that made Canton Network and Canton Coin (CC) data and metrics available, supporting greater visibility into network activity. 

The Talos platform is connected with more than 60 liquidity sources, providing institutions with broad market access to digital assets. Talos is committed to supporting the trading and settlement of Canton Coin, and is already connected to exchanges that offer spot (e.g., Bybit, Gate.io, Kucoin, Kraken and MEXC) as well as CC-USDT perpetual futures (e.g., Binance Futures, Bybit, Phemex and OKX), enabling day-one institutional market access.* 

The Canton Network represents an evolution of the financial markets, bringing together the privacy, control and compliance standards of traditional finance with the efficiency and composability of blockchain infrastructure. In its role as a Super Validator, Talos actively participates in the Global Synchronizer service that underpins the network’s atomic, cross-domain transactions between financial applications while maintaining data privacy. 

“Canton is shaping what the next generation of financial market infrastructure will look like,” said Sydney Rice, Head of Network Data and Research at Talos. “Our mission has always been to connect institutions to digital asset markets with the same performance, reliability and compliance they expect from traditional systems. As part of the Canton ecosystem, we’re helping to ensure that future markets are built on those same principles."
