Skip to main contentNext-gen Capital markets will not “move on-chain” through retail-first token launches. They will move through institutional-grade workflows - issuance, administration, compliance controls, and atomic settlement- delivered with privacy by design and interoperability by default.
Founders end up running a perpetual administrative program instead of shipping product.
Today, even sophisticated tokenized-asset efforts suffer from the same structural issues:
- Fragmented operating stack: legal structuring, onboarding, compliance checks, registries, corporate actions, distribution, reporting, and settlement are stitched together across vendors and spreadsheets.
- Siloed workflows: each institution runs its own systems; coordination across firms is slow, bilateral, and expensive.
- Post-issuance pain dominates: liquidity provisioning, vesting/lockups, transfers, servicing, coupon/fee distribution, reconciliations, and audits consume more time than the initial “launch.”
Lumens is the OS that turns those workflows into composable building blocks on Canton. So issuers and service providers can launch and operate tokenized assets with dramatically lower operational overhead, without compromising confidentiality or control.
