Published

on

MPCH is a founding infrastructure provider for the Canton Network’s decentralized, interoperability backbone as it continues to lead the way in the responsible tokenization and atomic exchange of regulated real world assets.

NEW YORK, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — MPCH, the cutting-edge cryptographic storage solutions company that provides physical and digital security solutions for enterprises’ most sensitive digital assets, has joined the Canton Network, a privacy-enabled, interoperable blockchain network designed specifically for institutional assets. As one of the founding participants in the Canton Network’s decentralized interoperability backbone, MPCH will play an active role in supporting the operations, governance, and delivery of infrastructure and applications to the Canton Network via its Global Synchronizer, which launched today.

We are thrilled to join the Canton Network’s Global Synchronizer and Super Validator program. We recognize the transformative potential of the Canton Network in bridging the gap between privacy and interoperability within the institutional, blockchain ecosystem.

This launch marks a pivotal step towards unlocking the full potential of synchronized financial markets, providing first-of-its-kind connectivity for the tokenization and frictionless exchange of regulated financial assets and liabilities. For the first time, the capital markets ecosystem has a network that unifies production networks and participants already digitizing every part of the capital markets value chain, with infrastructure operators like MPCH enabling an organizationally neutral service that supports new connections and liquidity across these networks, assets, and value pools.

Miles Parry, MPCH CEO, shared “We are thrilled to join the Canton Network’s Global Synchronizer and Super Validator program. We recognize the transformative potential of the Canton Network in bridging the gap between privacy and interoperability within the institutional, blockchain ecosystem. As an infrastructure provider, this initiative not only aligns with our commitment to innovation but also enhances our ability to provide secure, efficient, and regulatory-compliant solutions to our clients.”

“We’ve taken a long-term strategic view on what was needed to enable truly synchronized global capital markets, and today marks a huge milestone,” said Yuval Rooz, CEO and Co-Founder of Digital Asset. “After testing the infrastructure for over a year and launching it in collaboration with industry-leading firms like MPCH, the Canton Network now has an industry-run connectivity backbone that benefits all participants, and provides transparent governance and incentives to support its growth.”

The Global Synchronizer is the first decentralized infrastructure for the Canton Network. To facilitate transparent and fair governance of the Global Synchronizer, the Linux Foundation has added the Global Synchronizer Foundation (GSF) as an official project. MPCH is also joining the GSF as a member to participate and collaborate in the ecosystem. Digital Asset, the original creators of the Canton blockchain protocol, has also open-sourced the core technology for decentralized Canton synchronization domains, maintained as Splice, a Hyperledger Lab. This makes the same core code implemented by the Global Synchronizer and Canton Coin openly available to other organizations to develop decentralized Canton synchronization infrastructure.

MPCH provides cryogenic cold storage integrated with ultra-secure, in-house developed Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs), customized Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) based on zero-trust and zero-knowledge architectures, and unique Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology for secure authentication and sharing.

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Sokin is the financial layer global business runs on. Businesses can transact, convert and hold money in 70+ currencies across 170+ countries. Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers. Businesses move more than $9 billion a year on licenses Sokin holds in 36+ countries and infrastructure Sokin owns. Founded in 2019, Sokin has raised over $100 million from investors including Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital and Prysm Capital.

About Chelsea Football Club

Chelsea Football Club is one of the biggest, most successful football clubs globally and our men’s team are reigning world champions, having won the four-yearly FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. Our women’s team, Chelsea Women, are also multiple trophy winners.

Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London’s most central football club, based at the iconic 40,000-capacity Stamford Bridge stadium. Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.

The Chelsea Women’s team have enjoyed a huge amount of success and in 2025 won the FA Women’s Super League for a sixth consecutive year and the eighth time overall. The Women’s FA Cup has been won on six occasions. We have also captured the FA Women’s League Cup four times as well as reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in 2021. In two seasons, 2020/21 and 2024/25, a domestic treble of trophies was secured.

The Chelsea Foundation boasts one of the most extensive community initiatives in sport, helping to improve the lives of children and young people all over the world.
