BlockBooster has joined the Canton Foundation as an official member, bringing an on-chain alternative asset management firm into Canton Network’s governance structure.
The firm announced the move on April 30. BlockBooster’s work spans yield strategies, private credit, private equity, and real-world asset tokenization.
The Canton Foundation is the independent governance body responsible for the operation, standards, and validator framework of the Canton Network. It is co-chaired by DTCC and Euroclear, with members including BNP Paribas, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, Broadridge, Tradeweb, Moody’s Ratings, Hong Kong FMI Services, and Digital Asset.
BlockBooster said it will participate in Foundation governance, committee work, and ecosystem development, with a focus on tokenized credit, fund tokenization, and asset management standards for real-world assets.
The firm cited Canton Network’s current scale at more than $6 trillion in tokenized real-world assets across more than 600 institutions. It also pointed to active deployments from DTCC, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, and Broadridge, including tokenized U.S. Treasuries, GS DAP, HSBC’s Tokenised Deposit Service, and Broadridge’s distributed ledger repo platform.
Samuel Gu, BlockBooster’s founder and CEO, said real-world asset tokenization has moved from experimentation into infrastructure, with institutional capital concentrating around a smaller number of venues. He said joining the Canton Foundation is a natural next step for BlockBooster as it continues building its on-chain asset management business across private credit, tokenized funds, and other real-world asset classes.
