Talos, the provider of institutional digital asset technology and data for trading and portfolio management, has recently announced it is operating as a Super Validator on the Canton Network, focused on supporting its mission of connecting institutions to the digital asset ecosystem. After its acquisition of Coin Metrics earlier in 2025, the combined entity serves as a Super Validator, and also provides data and network intelligence via its Canton app, and trading and settlement support via its tech and connectivity to liquidity providers.
The team that built Coin Metrics had been playing a key role in the Canton ecosystem since they joined as “a Super Validator in March 2025.” In July, they launched a network intelligence app that “made Canton Network and Canton Coin (CC) data and metrics available, supporting greater visibility into network activity.”
The Talos platform is connected with various liquidity sources, offering institutions with market access to digital assets.
Talos is committed to supporting the trading and settlement of Canton Coin, and is “connected to exchanges that offer spot (e.g., Bybit, Gate.io, Kucoin, Kraken and MEXC) as well as CC-USDT perpetual futures (e.g., Binance Futures, Bybit, Phemex and OKX), enabling day-one institutional market access.”
The Canton Network represents an evolution of the financial markets, bringing together “the privacy, control and compliance standards of traditional finance with the efficiency and composability of blockchain infrastructure.”
In its role as a Super Validator, Talos participates in the Global Synchronizer service that underpins the network’s “atomic, cross-domain transactions between financial apps while maintaining data privacy.”
Sydney Rice, Head of Network Data and Research at Talos has said that Canton is now shaping what the so-called next gen of financial market infrastructure will look like.
Rice added that their mission has been to “connect institutions to digital asset markets with the same performance, reliability and compliance they expect from traditional systems.”
As part of the Canton ecosystem, they are now helping to “ensure that future markets are built on those principles.”
