The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, the post-trade infrastructure firm whose subsidiaries processed $4.7 quadrillion in securities transactions in 2025, plans to connect its tokenization service to the Stellar public blockchain. Both firms announced the deal Wednesday, with DTC-tokenized assets expected to go live on Stellar's network in the first half of 2027.

The partnership would allow DTC-custodied assets — real-world securities held at DTCC's depositary subsidiary, which provides custody and asset servicing for securities from over 150 countries valued at $114 trillion — to be tokenized and made available on the Stellar network, a public, configurable blockchain used across securities, payments, and remittance applications.

The deal is a significant step toward connecting the regulated core of U.S. capital markets to public blockchain infrastructure, and reinforces DTCC's stated strategy of building across multiple Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks.
