Singapore, August 4, 2026 — FOMO Pay, a leading payment institution in the Asia-Pacific region, today announced it has officially joined Canton and been approved as a network "Validator," becoming one of the first regulated payment institutions in Asia to achieve this qualification, thereby joining the ecosystem comprised of institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Nasdaq, BNY Mellon, Visa, and BNP Paribas.
A high-barrier network vetted by top global financial institutions
Canton is an institutional-grade blockchain network launched in 2023 by more than 30 global financial institutions and market infrastructure providers, including Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, and Deutsche Börse Group. Since then, institutions such as DTCC and Visa have joined as validation nodes, and Goldman Sachs, BNY Mellon, and others have deployed core business applications on the network. To become a validation node, entities must pass compliance, risk management, and technical capability reviews conducted by its governing body.
Compliance reputation receives further international recognition
This approval as a Canton validation node is another authoritative recognition of FOMO Pay’s market trust and compliance reputation as a regulated payment institution in Asia. As a validation node, FOMO Pay will operate a dedicated node on Canton, enjoying a private, institutional-grade access gateway to conduct secure and efficient transactions with authorized counterparties.
Payment Network Upgrade: From Traditional Banks to Mainstream Blockchain
The company also plans to leverage this to expand its B2B payment and settlement services, further enriching its multi-chain payment network. This approval marks another upgrade to FOMO Pay’s institutional-grade payment infrastructure. Currently, the company has connected payment flows between traditional banking channels and major blockchain networks, with a service network covering Southeast Asia, the Greater Bay Area, and the Middle East and North Africa.
Compliant multi-chain network, moving toward omnichannel payments
Rose Wang, Head of FOMO Pay’s Digital Payments Business, said: “Obtaining approval as a validation node reflects our philosophy of building payment infrastructure that is not confined to a single blockchain or payment channel, but rather strategically positioned around the multi-network ecosystem increasingly relied upon by financial institutions. As Asia’s leading payment network with regulatory licenses in multiple markets, FOMO Pay is building a compliant bridge between traditional finance and institutional-grade blockchain. Canton is a natural extension of this vision.”
This milestone further strengthens FOMO Pay’s compliant, multi-chain, multi-channel, and multi-currency payment network. As institutional adoption of blockchain financial infrastructure continues to accelerate, FOMO Pay is steadily expanding its channels, pathways, and regional corridors for fund and value transfer, moving progressively toward a unified, compliant network that meets all payment and settlement needs.
