Digital Asset lands $355M as a16z doubles down on Wall Street blockchain rails
Digital Asset raised $355M in an a16z‑led round at a $2B valuation, extending a Wall Street‑backed funding run as banks ramp up pilots on its Canton Network blockchain.
Digital Asset Holdings has raised $355 million in a new round led by Andreessen Horowitz’s crypto arm, highlighting Wall Street’s accelerating push into permissioned blockchain infrastructure.
A16z crypto contributed $100 million, alongside 7RIDGE, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, Citadel Securities and Optiver, in a deal that values Digital Asset at around $2 billion, according to a Thursday Bloomberg Law report citing people familiar with the matter.
The capital will be used to scale the Canton Network, developed and maintained by Digital Asset, designed for financial institutions to tokenize and settle traditional securities while keeping commercially sensitive data private.
