Built on THE Canton Network
Settlement Financing & Lending
SF&L dApp on Canton
The Challenge
Margin calls arrive 24/7. Intraday financing doesn't.
The Solution
Pledge collateral. Draw financing. Repay same day.
Traditional credit lines don't operate around the clock. DeFi protocols lack the privacy and custody controls institutions require. Exchange credit only works within a single venue.
The gap is clear: firms need intraday financing that is continuous, custody-integrated, privacy-preserving, and settles atomically. Nothing in the market does all four.
BridgePort's Settlement Financing dApp on Canton lets firms draw USDC instantly against CBTC collateral – and repay the same day. All assets remain in institutional custody. Only authorised parties see transaction details.

Credit Line Drawn

Canton & BridgePort
As institutional participation grows, margin stress – not trading – becomes the primary constraint on scale. Without real-time settlement and intra-day financing, firms are forced to over-collateralise, hold excess balances, or reduce activity precisely when markets are most active. The next phase of institutional crypto requires settlement workflows that operate continuously, with clear risk controls and capital efficiency.
BridgePort on Canton makes it possible to execute these institutional settlement workflows on-chain – for the first time.
