TSV Plans to Begin Trading Tokenized CNTN Shares as Soon as Nov. 2

TSV LLC plans to begin trading tokenized shares of Canton Strategic Holdings (CNTN) as soon as Nov. 2, setting a near-term target for the proposed U.S. stock venue built on Canton Network.

The planned trading would use an issuer-led structure. Canton Strategic Holdings has engaged Fairmint, an SEC-registered on-chain transfer agent, to issue the tokens and maintain the official ownership records. That arrangement is designed to avoid the 30-day issuer objection period associated with third-party tokenization.

Fairmint’s role combines token issuance with official record-keeping for the shares. The model centers on the issuer’s own equity while assigning issuance and ownership records to its transfer agent.

Nov. 2 is the earliest planned start, and trading has not yet begun. TSV’s timing could put it ahead of a platform involving OKX and Intercontinental Exchange in pursuing the first U.S. tokenized stock trade under the SEC’s innovation-exemption framework.
