Decrypt reports that SEC staff view 
Canton Coin as a digital commodity and will not recommend enforcement action concerning how the token is minted. The reported position addresses the creation of Canton Coin, although the summary does not describe a formal approval by the full SEC or identify any accompanying conditions.
The development came roughly a week after DTCC launched a tokenization service that operates partly on the Canton Network. That timing connects the regulatory treatment of Canton Coin with an existing effort to use the network for tokenized financial services and institutional infrastructure.
Canton was trading at $0.102716 at the time of the report, gaining 3.60% over 24 hours and 6.73% over seven days. Its reported market capitalization stood at $4.11 billion, placing it among the larger digital assets covered by the live market dataset.
The wider crypto market was broadly higher, with total capitalization at $2.75 trillion and 
Bitcoin up 2.84% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index registered 50, or Neutral. The regulatory statement and Canton’s gains arrived against a positive but measured market backdrop, with the DTCC service and any further guidance from SEC or Canton entities serving as the next points to monitor.
Since this brief published about 15 hours ago, Canton (CC) has moved from ₹9.72$0.1027 to ₹9.80$0.1036 — +0.83%.
The chart plots CC's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 CC ≈ ₹10.96 (about $0.1036), up 4.5% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 11.8% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
