SBI Holdings has renamed its wholly owned subsidiary SBI Security Solutions Co., Ltd. to SBI Digital Practice Co., Ltd. as part of a broader push into on-chain finance through the Canton Network. The new unit will focus on blockchain solutions for the financial industry, including compliance-related services and cross-border payments.

SBI Holdings said the name change took effect on June 22, 2026, and was accompanied by a new management structure centered on services for the Canton Network, a blockchain designed for regulated financial institutions. The move reflects SBI’s vision of an “on-chain finance” industry built around blockchain-based financial products, securities and transactions rather than traditional systems.

Unlike public blockchains aimed primarily at retail users, Canton Network is designed for regulated entities that require privacy, regulatory compliance and interoperability while still benefiting from distributed ledger technology. That positioning helps explain why SBI is organizing a dedicated business line around the network: the target users are banks, asset managers and other institutions that need blockchain tools to fit existing operational and compliance frameworks.

SBI Launches Dedicated Canton Network Business

Under the new structure, SBI Digital Practice will provide a full suite of services for participating banks, asset managers and other financial firms implementing Canton Network. Those services will include planning and development of blockchain infrastructure, construction of financial applications, implementation support and the design of transaction systems that could support cross-border and multi-currency settlements.

SBI has already been contributing to the network as a Super Validator, one of the key participants responsible for validating transactions and helping ensure they are processed correctly. The company has also worked to encourage institutional participation and expand the network’s ecosystem.

The new subsidiary is expected to serve as SBI’s core platform for helping financial institutions adopt blockchain technology while meeting the regulatory requirements of different jurisdictions. That makes the unit relevant not only to SBI’s own blockchain strategy, but also to the broader shift among financial firms toward tokenization and digital asset infrastructure that can operate within institutional controls.

Canton Network Expands Institutional Reach

SBI said Canton Network has grown into one of the largest blockchain ecosystems serving traditional finance. According to the company, more than 600 organizations are now members of the network, including Goldman Sachs, Royal Bank of Scotland, BNP Paribas, Franklin Templeton, Broadridge and Euroclear.

SBI also said that more than $6 trillion in assets are managed across the blockchain, as more institutions adopt tokenized financial products.

In another major development for the network, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) selected Canton Network to support digital securitization of U.S. Treasury securities. SBI described that decision as another sign of blockchain’s growing integration into core traditional finance workflows.

SBI said demand for institutional blockchain use is expected to keep increasing as market participants expand tokenization initiatives across financial and investment services. The company added that the new business unit does not replace its existing blockchain projects, but instead extends its broader activities in payments, tokenization, stablecoins and blockchain-based financial services.
