We are pleased to share that USIG Digital has joined the Canton Foundation’s Collateral Subcommittee, joining a group of financial institutions and digital asset companies contributing to the continued growth and adoption of the Canton Network. We are also pleased to lead the subcommittee’s workstream on Cross-Application Collateral Mobility.
The subcommittee provides a forum for members to identify and evaluate collateral-related use cases and develop recommendations around collateral workflows, data standards, operational processes, and risk considerations. The Cross-Application Collateral Mobility workstream will focus specifically on how common mechanisms can support collateral use across applications and greater capital efficiency across the network.
For USIG, taking a lead in building collateral mobility use cases is a natural extension of our goal to become the leading collateral coin across the Canton ecosystem.
Strengthening the On-Chain Ecosystem
The next stage of digital asset adoption will require more than putting traditional assets on a blockchain. Institutions need networks, assets, and operating frameworks built for the realities of wholesale financial markets, where governance, compliance, interoperability, and risk management are essential.
The Canton Network is designed to meet the needs of financial institutions and connects regulated assets and financial workflows across applications. As the network grows, so does the importance of developing common frameworks and approaches that can help assets move efficiently across applications.
The Need for Real-Time Collateral Mobility
Wholesale financial markets run on collateral. Repo markets alone account for trillions of dollars in daily activity, with collateral also underpinning derivatives margining, securities lending, bank liquidity, and treasury operations.
Despite its central role, collateral cannot always move when and where institutions need it. Settlement cycles, limited operating hours, and fragmented systems can require firms to post assets earlier or in greater amounts than necessary. The result is capital sitting idle when it could otherwise remain productive.
On-chain infrastructure creates an opportunity to rethink those constraints. Collateral that can move in real time could remain invested until it is needed, respond dynamically as exposures change, and move across financing activities without being bound by traditional operating windows.
For institutional markets, however, speed alone is not enough. Greater mobility must coexist with legal certainty, transparent ownership, appropriate controls, and regulatory compliance.
USIG Digital is building at that intersection. The USIG Collateral Coin™ is a tokenized debt security backed by U.S. Treasuries and designed for institutional wholesale markets. It is intended to bring traditional collateral on-chain while supporting real-time mobility, programmable workflows, and 24/7 transferability. Potential applications span repo financing, securities lending collateral, bank liquidity, and treasury operations, with derivatives margining representing a longer-term opportunity.
By participating in the Canton Foundation Collateral Subcommittee and leading the Cross-Application Collateral Mobility workstream, USIG will contribute its perspective as the Canton ecosystem evolves while continuing to build toward a more mobile and efficient model for institutional collateral.
