In our latest Developer Showcase, David Reis (BrBPO) explains how Kubernetes and contributions to Hyperledger Fabric tooling can reduce friction in private and permissioned DLT deployment and lower barriers for public-sector adoption.

Europe's institutional giants are officially joining forces on-chain! 🇪🇺🏦 Ten major European financial institutions have launched Regulated Layer One (RL1), an equal-governance blockchain cooperative designed specifically for tokenized assets, digital money, and capital market settlement. The latest KuCoin blog breaks down the launch of this massive institutional utility: 🏛️ A Jointly Governed Utility: Headquartered in Luxembourg, RL1 gives founding members like ABN AMRO, DekaBank, and Natixis CIB equal voting rights to prevent single-entity network dominance. 📈 Proven Transaction Record: Built on SWIAT's DLT infrastructure, the network goes live having already processed over €700 million across 50+ live transactions. 🔗 Ending Market Fragmentation: Moving beyond isolated bank pilots, RL1 creates a neutral, shared ledger to scale institutional tokenization and support broader European Central Bank digital finance initiatives. 🎯 Targeting Real-World Assets: The permissioned architecture is strictly optimized for capital markets—enabling immediate bond tokenization, RWA settlement, and near-real-time collateral mobility. The transition from experimental blockchain pilots to scalable, integrated capital market infrastructure has officially begun. Read the full breakdown here:

Most financial instruments are already digital. That part isn't new. Darko Hajdukovic (Head of Digital Markets Infrastructure, LSEG) on Tokenized with our hosts Simon Taylor and Cuy Sheffield said: "The new thing here isn't that it's digitally represented. It is that you can now do things which you couldn't do before." Round the clock settlement and activity on public chains are the kind of things that becomes possible once DIGIT and the LSE move onto shared DLT infrastructure. Everything discussed here, DIGIT included, is subject to regulatory approval. 🎙️ Listen to the latest episode on

Meet the Developer Behind Canton Network Itself. You've likely caught the @Bloomberg headline saying that @digitalasset is raising ~$300 million at a $2 billion valuation in a round expected to be led by legendary VC @a16z. But few truly understand DA's incredible history, journey and positioning... What is Digital Asset? DA was founded way back in 2014, just five years after $BTC itself, by experienced founders in @YuvalRooz, @wesarn_real and @ShaulKfir. The company is the driving force behind the Daml smart contract language - a purpose-built language that is key to the features that make @CantonNetwork so appealing to regulated institutions and sectors. Today, DA has representation in New York, London, and Hong Kong (the list goes on) and it remains one of, if not the leader when it comes to institutional-grade DLT and blockchain technology. In the 2026 era, and as Canton matures alongside the @CantonFdn, DA remains a vital bridge between traditional finance and the digital financial future, having partnered with the likes of Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, Euroclear, and countless others. At Cantor8, we support DA's fundraising process and look forward to the benefits it can bring to the $CC ecosystem at large...
