The Canton (CC) token has cooled its uptrend this past week as traders took profits across the broader market.
However, CC remains over 40% up in the past month, and a rebranding of Tharimmune, Inc. (NASDAQ: THAR) into Canton Strategic Holdings looks likely to provide fresh upside momentum.
The token traded near $0.16 as several altcoins posted decent gains on the day.
Can the rebrand help catalyze Canton Coin (CC) price higher?
Tharimmune’s shift to Canton Strategic Holdings
Tharimmune is the first publicly traded company explicitly anchored in the Canton Network ecosystem.
Its rebrand to Canton Strategic Holdings completes the pivot from a biotech‑focused firm to a Canton‑centric digital‑asset treasury, a move that could strengthen institutional adoption and thus the token’s valuation.
Under the rebrand, Tharimmune will trade on NASDAQ under the new ticker CNTN, while maintaining its existing shareholder base and corporate structure.
According to a press release, the change will see capital deployed towards the acquisition of Canton Coin and the operation of a Super Validator on the Canton Network.
The company also plans to invest in applications that deepen institutional use of the privacy‑enabled blockchain across capital markets.
“Since launching our digital asset treasury strategy, we have continued to execute against a clear mandate to support institutional adoption of the Canton Network,” said Mark Wendland, chairman and chief executive officer of Tharimmune.
Canton price forecast amid institutional momentum
The digital treasury strategy momentum has dissipated amid investor jitters in a bearish crypto market.
While analysts say further bleeding will put these DATs under immense pressure, many are doubling down on positions amid buy-the-dip opportunities.
Amid this backdrop, Canton's price forecast leans bullish.
Adoption across tokenized securities, on-chain settlement, and institutional custody continues to accelerate, and Canton Network’s estimated $9 trillion in monthly transaction volume stands out.
Increased exposure and visibility will be key to Canton’s performance, with prices gaining momentum amid ecosystem growth, validator performance, and treasury holdings.
"From DTCC securing SEC consent for a pilot to tokenize US Treasury securities, to global enterprises implementing on-chain payroll, the utility of the Canton Network and its configurable privacy has quickly become the foundation for on-chain financial rails," Wendland added.
At current prices, CC is only 15% from its all-time high near $0.20 reached on February 3, 2026.
Prices are also 170% up since the all-time low of $0.05 reached on December 6, 2025.
Broader crypto market volatility that could extend bearish sentiment is a short-term risk for the altcoin.
In this case, a pullback below $0.15 risks a retest of support under $0.10.
On the upside, breaking to $0.20 could allow for a potential price explosion as price discovery takes hold.
Tharimmune will go live under the new ticker on Feb 18, 2026.
