## Key points

- SEC staff views Canton Coin as a digital commodity.
- It will not recommend enforcement over programmatic minting.
- The letter relies on Canton’s claims and is not a legal conclusion.

## Summary

The SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance said it views Canton Coin as a “digital commodity” and will not recommend enforcement action over its programmatic minting. The staff’s position could give financial firms greater confidence in using the Canton Network, which recently became the platform for a new securities tokenisation service.

The SEC relied on Canton’s representations that the coin’s value comes from the network’s operation and supply and demand, and that the network has no central party. Canton launched without an initial coin offering or premine; tokens were initially earned by running network infrastructure and applications. The SEC stressed that its letter reflects only staff’s enforcement position, depends on the facts presented and is not a legal conclusion.
