Canborsa has launched the beta of the first perpetual decentralized exchange for real-world assets on the Canton Network, offering 24/7 trading.
Canborsa has announced the beta launch of its trading platform, positioning itself as the first perpetual decentralized exchange (DEX) for real-world assets (RWA) built on the Canton Network [1]. The platform went live on May 29, 2026, allowing users to trade tokenized equities, commodities, and cryptocurrencies without intermediaries or Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements [1].
Key takeaways
Canborsa aims to bridge the gap between decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional markets by offering 24/7 access to assets typically restricted by market hours and brokerage accounts [1]. At launch, the beta supports perpetual contracts for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, tokenized equities including Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla, and commodities such as gold, silver, and oil [1][3]. The platform claims to offer up to 20x leverage on these markets, featuring limit orders, take profit, and stop loss tools [3]. Additionally, the interface supports swaps between crypto, stablecoins, and tokenized assets without intermediaries [1].

Traditional futures have a pre-specified delivery date and require rolling over contracts, whereas perpetual futures can be held indefinitely and use a funding mechanism to maintain price alignment.
The funding mechanism is used to periodically exchange payments between long and short holders to keep the perpetual contract price close to the underlying asset's price.

While perpetual futures markets primarily developed within the cryptocurrency sector, they are increasingly being used for pre-IPO stocks and were originally conceptualized for illiquid assets like real estate.
High-leverage trading can lead to rapid liquidations, and some platforms employ auto-deleveraging, where profitable traders may forfeit a portion of their gains to cover the losses of others during high volatility.
