BOOSTRY and Digital Asset Partner to Advance On-Chain Financial Services via Canton Network

BOOSTRY and Digital Asset Holdings have announced a strategic collaboration aimed at accelerating the adoption of on-chain finance and digital capital markets both in Japan and internationally.

As the initial initiative of this alliance, the two companies are co-developing a multi-chain enterprise wallet service, which BOOSTRY plans to launch within 2026.

Driving Enterprise Infrastructure for Tokenized Assets

The announcement comes as institutional adoption of blockchain technology gathers momentum across settlement, collateral management, and capital raising. As institutions manage an expanding array of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs)—ranging from security tokens and stablecoins to crypto assets—demand has intensified for secure, compliant wallet infrastructure capable of operating across disparate blockchain networks.

Under the partnership, the companies will integrate Digital Asset’s Canton Network expertise with BOOSTRY’s established market footprint in Japan. Canton Network—developed by Digital Asset for regulated financial institutions—currently processes over $9 trillion in monthly asset flows and stands as a leading venue for tokenized U.S. Treasuries. Meanwhile, BOOSTRY brings institutional domain experience through its core product suite, including its institutional wallet platform "E-Wallet," security token administration platform "E-Prime," and the consortium blockchain network "ibet for Fin".

Phased Rollout and Platform Roadmap

The upcoming enterprise wallet is designed as a unified institutional gateway to store, manage, and settle digital assets while interfacing directly with legacy financial systems and exchange infrastructure.

Initial Phase: Focuses primarily on integration with the Canton Network to provide enterprise-grade privacy and governance.
Future Expansion: Aims to progressively support security tokens, stablecoins, and cryptocurrencies under varying regulatory regimes.
System Integration: Intends to connect with BOOSTRY’s existing product ecosystem (E-Wallet, E-Prime, and ibet for Fin) to deliver an end-to-end platform for asset issuance, management, transfer, and settlement.

By prioritizing interoperability, compliance, and privacy, both firms aim to facilitate broader integration among global financial institutions and market infrastructure operators.
