Key points

- The Division of Corporation Finance will not recommend enforcement action over CC issuance without securities registration under specific conditions.
- Canton Network enables banks and financial institutions to tokenize assets and settle transactions across different platforms.
- Network participants earn CC by operating infrastructure and applications, with the protocol determining token minting based on activity.
Why it matters

What's unclear
The no-action response is an SEC division position and not a binding legal ruling by the full Commission on the legal status of CC.
