Tel Aviv, Israel, March 31st, 2026, Chainwire Playnance is bringing one of the world’s largest entertainment markets fully on-chain at scale, expanding its ecosystem into global sports and esports. Through its integration with SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, a leading global iGaming technology provider offering sportsbook and online casino solutions, Playnance will now provide access to more than 2.5 million live sports and esports events annually through its network of partnership platforms, spanning all major leagues, including the NBA, Premier League, LaLiga, as well as global esports tournaments, and a wide range of regional and niche sports events worldwide. The experience will go live next week on PlayW3 and expand across additional platforms within the Playnance ecosystem, enabling seamless, real-time, gasless on-chain participation across thousands of events every single day. Millions of users will engage live, predict outcomes, and play across thousands of events daily, all on-chain. Fully integrated into a decentralized, non-custodial infrastructure, Playnance is delivering continuous, high-frequency engagement tied directly to real-world activity. Pini Peter, CEO of Playnance, said: “At Playnance, we’re leading the next major shift by bringing the entire world of entertainment on-chain. With this expansion, we are extending our ecosystem even further by adding the global sports and esports markets to the wide range of on-chain experiences we already offer. With live events watched by billions worldwide, real-time participation, and true ownership powered by $GCOIN, we are setting a new standard for digital entertainment at scale. Our ambition is to lead and redefine the global entertainment industry by bringing it fully on-chain through a decentralized foundation. This is just the beginning.” In line with Playnance’s staking model across other categories, this expansion includes a dedicated sports staking program, where users can lock $GCOIN to the sports ecosystem and receive protocol-based rewards for their on-chain activity. This expansion positions Playnance within a $150+ billion global sports and esports betting market. By bringing familiar, real-time experiences on-chain, the platform lowers the barrier for mainstream users and accelerates the transition from Web2 to Web3 at scale. “Our integration with Playnance represents a new standard for how gaming infrastructure can operate on blockchain. Leveraging Playnance’s blockchain, we’re able to bring real-time sports and esports experiences fully on-chain, combining high-frequency real-world data with decentralized execution.” Said Aleksandr Kamenetskyi, Head of Sportsbook at SOFTSWISS. “This allows us to push the boundaries of on-chain gaming while unlocking a level of scale, transparency, and performance that simply hasn’t existed before in this category.” The move builds on strong momentum across the Playnance ecosystem, which processes more than 2 million on-chain transactions daily. With more than 10,000 social casino games and millions of AI-powered prediction markets, Playnance delivers a unified digital entertainment ecosystem at a scale and diversity not seen before, all powered by $GCOIN. Early demand has already been demonstrated through the rapid uptake of its staking program, with over 1.4 billion $GCOIN staked shortly after launch. With this expansion, Playnance enters a new phase focused on scaling global adoption, bringing more real-world content on-chain, increasing real-time participation, and significantly expanding $GCOIN’s utility across a rapidly growing on-chain entertainment ecosystem.

Transak Enables Fiat Access to Canton Network, Expanding Institutional Access to On-Chain Finance...
Miami, Florida, March 31st, 2026, Chainwire
The integration creates a direct fiat bridge to the Canton Network, the privacy-preserving blockchain gaining widespread adoption among Wall Street institutions.
Transak, the regulated payments infrastructure provider, today announced its integration with the Canton Network, the only public, permissionless blockchain with configurable privacy built for institutional finance.
The integration expands fiat-based access to the Canton Network’s native utility token, Canton Coin (CC). Users and institutions can now acquire Canton Coin directly through Transak integrated wallets and applications using credit cards, bank transfers, and a wide range of local payment methods. By providing seamless on-ramps to the network, the integration removes one of the last friction points between traditional finance and Canton’s rapidly expanding ecosystem.
Bringing a Seamless On-Ramp to Canton’s $8 Trillion Network
Canton Network is rapidly becoming core infrastructure for institutional on-chain finance. Built by Digital Asset, the network allows institutions to move on-chain without exposing sensitive positions, counterparties, or transaction activity on a fully transparent public chain. Canton now supports more than $8 trillion in tokenized real-world assets, with major institutions using the network for live financial activity.
Canton Coin is used to pay transaction fees on the network, and now that Canton Coin is listed on Transak, wallets and applications connected to Canton can offer direct access to Canton Coin through familiar payment methods, including cards, bank transfers, and local payment rails..
“Canton represents exactly the kind of infrastructure we built Transak to serve,” said Sami Start, Founder and CEO of Transak. “We’re making sure the on-ramp infrastructure is ready for institutions to run live financial workflows on a blockchain”
Expanding Enterprise Access to Private On-Chain Finance
The integration is designed to support the needs of financial institutions and enterprises entering on-chain markets, while making it simpler for wallets, fintech applications, and other ecosystem platforms to embed compliant fiat access directly into their products.
“Canton is moving capital markets and enterprise finance on-chain, and this integration adds deeper payment infrastructure and regulatory coverage, helping further adoption as the network scales,” said Melvis Langyintuo, Executive Director, Canton Foundation.
Supporting Canton’s Synchronized Finance Model
Canton’s architecture is designed for synchronized finance, where assets, data, and contractual logic move together in real time across institutions. For that model to work in practice, payments need to move just as seamlessly.
By embedding compliant fiat access directly into the payment flow, Transak helps bring network access more in line with Canton’s real-time design, making it easier for institutions, fintechs, and treasury platforms to access Canton’s privacy-preserving rails, without introducing the delays and operational friction that traditional fiat infrastructure can create.
