AMINA, a FINMA-regulated Swiss crypto bank, is the first bank to offer regulated trading and custody of Canton Coin, giving institutional clients compliant access to the Canton Network ecosystem built for capital markets.

AMINA Bank AG, a Swiss crypto bank regulated by FINMA, has become the first bank globally to offer regulated trading and custody for Canton Coin (CC), the native token of the Canton Network, a blockchain infrastructure focused on capital markets. Announced on May 6, 2026, the move allows AMINA’s institutional, corporate, and professional clients to hold and trade Canton Coin directly through a single Swiss banking counterparty, rather than relying on crypto-native exchanges or independent custodians. Canton Network is a public, privacy-preserving blockchain designed for regulated financial institutions, targeting use cases such as tokenized assets, settlement, collateral management, and repo markets. It is developed by Digital Asset and backed by major financial and technology players including DTCC, Goldman Sachs, Visa, Citadel Securities, and BitGo, and is positioned as a “network of networks” that can interconnect distinct financial applications while preserving regulatory and data-privacy requirements. Canton Coin functions as the network’s utility token and is used to pay for transaction fees and participate in the network’s economic activity; recent market data cited in coverage places its capitalization at around $5.7 billion. By integrating Canton Coin into a FINMA-regulated banking platform, AMINA lowers operational and compliance barriers for institutions that want exposure to Canton Network or to build tokenization and settlement workflows on it but are constrained by regulatory obligations around custody, governance, and counterparty risk. The bank frames the launch as part of a broader institutional shift toward tokenized finance and on-chain capital markets, giving both existing Canton Network participants (such as Super Validators) and new professional investors a compliant access point to the ecosystem. This development also follows earlier infrastructure steps such as BitGo’s expansion of Canton Coin services and S&P Dow Jones Indices bringing a U.S. Treasury benchmark onto Canton Network, underscoring a gradual convergence between traditional capital markets infrastructure and blockchain-based financial rails.
