Canton shares go 24/7 as blockchain trading lands Nov. 2 🧾

Canton Strategic Holdings, a Nasdaq-listed company formerly known as biotechnology firm Tharimmune, plans to begin trading tokenized common shares on the Canton Network as soon as Nov. 2. The shares are expected to carry the same shareholder rights as the company’s Nasdaq-listed stock.

The company announced on Thursday that it is partnering with TSV LLC, a trading venue for tokenized securities, and Fairmint, a US Securities and Exchange Commission-registered transfer agent. Tokenized trading will be available around the clock through an automated market maker, with transactions settling immediately on the Canton Network. Fairmint will maintain ownership records and oversee compliance with share transfer requirements.

The announcement follows the SEC’s September innovation exemption, which the companies said provides a regulatory path for trading tokenized US stocks on domestic platforms. The Nasdaq-traded issue, under the ticker CNTN, currently trades an average daily volume of 757,704 shares, according to Yahoo Finance data. At last look, the stock was up more than 4.5% on the day, trading at roughly $2.13 apiece, with a market cap of $170 million.

Canton Strategic Holdings shifted its focus to digital assets in November 2025 after raising $545 million to build a business around Canton Coin. It changed its name in February and now holds the cryptocurrency, helps operate the Canton Network, and invests in projects built on the blockchain. Despite its name, Canton Strategic Holdings is not the company behind the Canton Network, which was developed by Digital Asset. It has ties to the Canton Foundation through its investments and participation in network governance.
