If you hold Canton Coin and have ever wanted to trade without selling it first, that gap just closed.
now lets you use
itself as collateral on every perpetual market on the exchange, from tokenized stocks and commodities to crypto. You keep the coin. You still get to trade.
That sounds small until you walk through what people had to do before.

Canton Network is a blockchain built for institutions that want shared records without putting every detail on a public screen.
, short for Canton Coin, is the networkโs own token. People hold it because they believe in that network, because they earn it, or because they want exposure to the ecosystem around it.
Until recently, holding and using were two different jobs. The coin could sit in a wallet, or it could be sold so the cash could go somewhere else. There was no clean third option.

A perpetual, or perp, is a contract that tracks the price of something else. It does not expire. If you think gold, Tesla, or a crypto asset is going up, you can go long. If you think it is going down, you can go short. You are not buying the asset itself. You are taking a position on its price.
Collateral is the deposit that backs that position. It is the money the exchange can draw on if the trade moves against you. On most crypto venues, that deposit has to be a stablecoin, a token designed to stay near one dollar. That is why holders were stuck. To trade, they first had to swap
into a stablecoin, and the moment they did, they no longer held the coin.

can now sit as collateral for stock, commodity, and crypto perps on Canborsa. One coin, three kinds of markets, no swap into a stablecoin first.
Canborsa is a Canton-first perpetual exchange. Its pitch is AllFi: stocks, commodities, and crypto in one place, with leverage of up to 30x on listed markets, and access from more than one chain.
On October 1, 2026, the team opened
as collateral for real world asset markets and crypto markets, not just one pair. Real world assets here means things like tokenized stocks and commodities. Crypto means the usual coin markets. The official line was simple: you can now trade any perp just by holding Canton Coin in your wallet.
The old path was swap, then trade, then hope
did not run while you were out of it. The new path is hold
, pick it as collateral when you open the trade, and take the position. No forced sale. No extra step through a stablecoin.

Three things change at once.
First, the coin is no longer idle capital. It can back a trade while it stays in your position as the asset you still own.
Second, you do not have to give up your
exposure to express a view on something else. A holder who wants a long on gold, or a hedge on a stock perp, can do that without dumping the bag that got them there.
Third, a short is no longer an exit. Before, protecting against a drop in
often meant selling it. Now the coin can sit as collateral while a short on a market works as a hedge. Gains and losses on the trade are still real. The underlying hold does not have to be unwound just to open it.
That is the whole shift: from sell-to-use, to hold-and-use.

Hold
, pick it as collateral, then go long or short. The coin stays in the position while the trade is open.
You keep
in the wallet Canborsa uses. You open a market, a stock perp, a commodity perp, or a crypto perp. When the ticket asks for collateral, you select
instead of a stablecoin. Then you choose long or short and size the position.
Your
is the margin. It is not swapped away first. If the trade works, the profit sits on top of a hold you never left. If it does not, leverage still cuts the other way, and collateral can be reduced. The feature removes a step. It does not remove risk.

The top 10 traders by volume over 14 days share a 5,000
pool. The board ranks trades, not posts.
Canborsa marked the launch with a 14-day trading competition. The top 10 traders by volume share a pool of 5,000
. Volume is the value of trades, not the number of posts or likes. The people who actually trade the most over those two weeks split the pool.
It is a reason to try the new collateral path while it is new, not a promise that every account wins.

Each day, one trader who clears $1,000 in volume is drawn at random and receives 250
. You do not have to finish in the top 10 to be in the draw.
There is a second, smaller prize running beside the leaderboard. Every day, one trader is drawn at random from everyone who has done more than $1,000 in volume that day, and that trader receives 250
.
You do not have to finish in the top 10 to be in this draw. You do have to clear the $1,000 volume line. Canborsa has already paid it out: on October 3, 2026, the team named โor3573โ as the first daily winner and said a new winner would be picked each day for the rest of the 14-day window.

The exchange also added quests that pay Canborsa Points, often called Canbo points, for using
as collateral. From the teamโs own list:
Trade any perp with
as collateral, and you earn 2,500 points.
Reach $500 in volume while using
, and you earn 1,500 points.
Spread the word about
collateral, and you earn 250 points.
For the first 7 days, Launch Week doubles the trading rate to 500 points per $100 traded.
Points are not the same thing as the 5,000
prize pool. They are the exchangeโs activity score, stacked for onchain trading and related actions, and they feed a leaderboard. The prize pool and the daily 250
draws are paid in the coin. The quests are how the points program marks this launch.

Collateral is a deposit, not free money. Leverage makes a winning trade larger and a losing trade larger. A position that uses
as margin can lose part of that
if the market moves against you.
The coinโs own price can move while it is posted. You are keeping exposure, which is the point, and that exposure can rise or fall on its own.
None of this is a recommendation to trade. It is a description of a tool that did not exist for
holders in this form before this launch.
๐ช๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ง๐ข ๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ง
The path Canborsa set for this launch is here:
Hold
. Pick it as collateral. Trade the perp. If the volume is there, the 14-day board and the daily draw are both live. If you only want to see the flow, the quest list is the smaller on-ramp: one trade with
as collateral is already a scored action.
did not ask holders to leave the coin behind to use the exchange. That is the part worth understanding, whether you trade the competition or not.
