Tokenized Treasuries are the next form of financial infrastructure. 🏦

Every repo trade, every margin call, every collateral pledge; Treasuries are the collateral that keeps global finance moving. But they are slow, settlement is T+1 or T+2, and they cannot move on weekends. Those limitations have a real cost at institutional scale.

Tokenized Treasuries fix that. A digital representation of a US Treasury that settles atomically, moves 24/7, and can be posted as collateral, financed, or reused in real time, without changing its legal status or custody structure.

@CantonNetwork is where this is actually happening. Here is what is live:

→ @Broadridge DLR: $280B in daily Treasury repo, $5.9T+ monthly. 20 of 24 US primary dealers. Live since 2021.

→ @The_DTCC ComposerX: DTC-custodied US Treasuries coming on-chain. SEC No-Action Letter granted. MVP targeted H1 2026. First time assets from a $99T custody pool will be available on any blockchain.

→ Working Group live transactions: @BankofAmerica, @Citadel, @CumberlandSays, @The_DTCC , @Tradeweb and others have completed four rounds of live on-chain Treasury financing on Canton, starting with a Saturday repo in July 2025 and expanding to UK Gilts and European Government Bonds by February 2026.

And the list keeps growing...
