Cardano Native Tokens supported on Fireblocks for institutional custody

Iagon: Iagon operates a decentralized physical infrastructure network on Cardano for storage and computing services, utilizing its native IAG token for payments and incentives. It previously contributed technical infrastructure, including nodes and APIs, to enable Cardano operations through Fireblocks' raw signing capabilities. These efforts laid groundwork for expanded native token and asset support. Emurgo: Emurgo is a co-founding entity of the Cardano blockchain focused on driving commercialization, asset tokenization, and ecosystem growth through strategic partnerships. It participated in the Pentad to advance key integrations, including the native Fireblocks connection for Cardano. This work supports broader institutional access to Cardano's token economy. Cardano: Cardano is a public blockchain platform emphasizing scalable infrastructure, decentralized governance, and sustainable development for digital assets and applications. Native tokens on Cardano are issued and managed directly at the ledger level alongside ADA. The platform's native token support enables seamless integration into institutional custody systems such as Fireblocks without requiring custom smart contract handling. Fireblocks: Fireblocks provides an enterprise-grade platform for securing, transferring, and managing digital assets with advanced policy controls and multi-party computation. It serves banks, exchanges, payment firms, and fintechs seeking compliant infrastructure for multiple blockchains. The addition of Cardano Native Token support allows these institutions to custody, send, and receive CNTs using existing workflows and approval processes. F. Gregaard: Frederik Gregaard serves as CEO of the Cardano Foundation, leading efforts to advance Cardano as public digital infrastructure and foster institutional adoption. He has emphasized that asset adoption occurs through trusted platforms rather than in isolation. His statements highlight how Fireblocks integration removes practical barriers for issuers of stablecoins and tokenized assets on Cardano. Adoption Pathway: Institutions gain access to Cardano-issued assets through established custody rails rather than standalone onboarding processes. Ecosystem Expansion: Additional DeFi and ecosystem integrations involving Fireblocks and Cardano are planned for the coming year. Institutional Infrastructure: Cardano native tokens integrate directly into Fireblocks' existing policy engine and approval workflows used by thousands of financial institutions.
