Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings has rebranded its subsidiary SBI Security Solutions as SBI Digital Practice, effective June 22, 2026, sharpening its focus on institutional blockchain infrastructure.
The renamed unit will concentrate on building financial infrastructure on the Canton Network, offering services that span implementation support, regulatory compliance, and cross-border transaction systems. SBI already holds a privileged position within that ecosystem, with SBI Digital Asset Holdings serving as a founding partner of the Canton Network and acting as a super validator and GSF member.
The Canton Network is gaining significant traction among institutional players. The network currently counts over 700 participating institutions, including Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, Broadridge, Franklin Templeton, and Euroclear, with assets managed on the blockchain exceeding $6 trillion.With DTCC adopting the Canton Network for the digital securitization of U.S. Treasuries, broader expansion is expected in the second half of 2026.
The move into Canton does not signal a retreat from SBI's existing Ripple partnerships. The company has been clear that the two strategies are complementary, with the restructuring signalling that SBI's institutional blockchain strategy extends beyond the Ripple network to its own platforms.
SBI Ripple Asia, the joint venture SBI Holdings co-founded with Ripple in 2016 to expand RippleNet-based cross-border payments across Asia-Pacific, will continue its work on the $XRP Ledger. The venture launched a token issuance platform on the XRP Ledger in April 2026 to enable businesses to create compliant digital tokens.
Taken together, the restructuring reflects a strategy of building exposure across multiple institutional-grade blockchain networks rather than concentrating on a single protocol. SBI's deepening Canton involvement is expected to promote its expansion into real-world asset tokenization and digital asset trading infrastructure.
