Why it matters
Canton is privacy-enabled, which means real usage is often not visible externally.
Aggregated CBTC activity is a useful proxy for measurable Canton utility today, throughput and on-chain activity on the Bitcoin liquidity that venues, wallets, and partners build on.

The bottom line
This is how we connect BitSafe progress to Canton progress with proof, without exposing private counterparties. And the Bitcoin behind these numbers is secured differently from the wrapped BTC institutions already hold: CBTC's underlying Bitcoin sits in single-use Taproot lockboxes held under FROST threshold signatures across independent institutional attestors, settles on Canton, and is verified continuously by Chainlink Proof of Reserve, with Quantstamp-audited contracts and CIP-56 compliance.
