Bitwise Brings Canton Coin Exposure to Europe with BWCC ETP

Bitwise has launched the Bitwise Canton ETP on Deutsche Börse Xetra, giving European investors exchange-traded access to Canton Network's native token, CC. The product trades under the ticker BWCC and carries the ISIN DE000A4ARTH9.

In a Tuesday statement, Bitwise said BWCC tracks the Kaiko CANTO Reference Rate LDNLF index and carries a total expense ratio of 0.85% per year. The firm added that the ETP is fully backed by CC tokens held in cold storage (because apparently "not your keys" is fine as long as it's wrapped in an ETP wrapper).

Investors can buy or sell BWCC through traditional brokerage accounts without needing to set up a crypto wallet — a feature increasingly standard in institutional-grade crypto wrappers.

Canton Network is a privacy-enabled blockchain built for capital markets. Bitwise said the network was developed with participation from institutions including Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Börse, and Broadridge. The network is designed to let financial institutions issue, trade, and settle assets digitally while keeping sensitive transaction details private. Bitwise noted this differs from public blockchains where all activity is publicly visible — yes, Canton remembers what happens on-chain, even if nobody else does.

Bradley Duke, Managing Director and Head of Europe at Bitwise, said "The Bitwise Canton ETP is a timely addition to our growing suite of European crypto ETPs." He added that Canton combines privacy, interoperability, and programmability for institutional compliance needs.

The European listing comes weeks after 21Shares launched the 21Shares Canton Network ETF on Nasdaq under the ticker TCAN. TCAN gives U.S. investors exposure to Canton Coin through brokerage accounts rather than direct token custody. TCAN began with a 0.50% gross expense ratio and an inception date of May 7, 2026.

The same report said Canton targets institutional settlement, privacy, and tokenized markets, with participation from banks and technology firms. 21Shares noted institutions including Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, and Deutsche Bank had participated in Canton-related testing, validator activity, or governance work. 21Shares clarified those names should not be treated as endorsements of TCAN, Canton Coin, or the network — because banks occasionally do things without endorsing them. Presumably.

Canton has also gained attention from tokenization-focused investors. crypto.news recently reported that Canton price rallied after Societe Generale's SG-FORGE deployed its regulated euro and dollar stablecoins on Canton for institutional collateral and repo financing use cases. The same report said TC
