Zenith Joins DTC Digital Assets Solutions Industry Working Group Focused on  Institutional Tokenization

Helsinki, Finland – 15 September 2026 

Zenith, the Ethereum-compatible execution layer for Canton Network, has joined the DTC Digital Assets Solutions Industry Working Group, a group of more than 100 firms from across traditional finance and digital markets that are helping shape industry readiness and provide input as the DTCC Tokenization Service continues to evolve.

As a Canton Network Tier-1 Super Validator and developer of Ethereum-compatible execution capabilities for Canton, Zenith brings experience in blockchain infrastructure and application development. Through its participation in the Working Group, Zenith will contribute its perspective alongside other market participants in discussions around tokenization and the future of digital financial market infrastructure.

DTCC’s subsidiary, the Depository Trust Company (DTC), provides custody and asset servicing for securities issues from more than 150 countries and territories valued at approximately $114 trillion. The working group has grown from an initial 50 firms to more than 100 banks, asset managers, exchanges, custodians, and digital asset infrastructure providers, including BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Citi, Nasdaq, NYSE, and Digital Asset, which are providing input and perspectives on the design and testing of a tokenization service covering Russell 1000 stocks, major ETFs, and U.S. Treasuries. In July, DTCC successfully converted assets held at DTC into tokens that were then used in real production trades, demonstrating the capabilities of the DTCC Tokenization Service and marking a significant milestone ahead of its targeted October 2026 launch.

Heslin Kim, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer at Zenith, said: "As a member of the Digital Assets Solutions Working Group, Zenith looks forward to contributing its perspective on blockchain infrastructure and application development while collaborating with other market participants to support the advancement of tokenization, interoperability, and digital market innovation.”
