DTCC Turns Tokenization into Reality: U.S. Trades Successfully Processed Using DTC-Tokenized Assets
Firm validates that tokenization service can bridge TradFi and digital markets by tokenizing DTC-held securities for multiple on-chain trades
Event marks major milestone ahead of DTCC Tokenization Service launch in October 2026 and progresses the evolution of the financial digital ecosystem
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), the premier post-trade market infrastructure for the global financial services industry, today announced that it successfully converted assets held at The Depository Trust Company (DTC) into tokens that were then used in real production trades, a notable milestone that marks the largest tokenization production initiative in breadth of use cases, asset classes and number of participants.
The tokenized trades were processed on July 15 and marked a significant milestone that sets the stage for the DTCC Tokenization Service to launch in October 2026. More than 30 firms representing a cross-section of traditional financial institutions (TradFi) and digital market participants took part in the initiative, underscoring broad industry engagement, the capabilities of the DTCC Tokenization Service, DTCC’s critical role as a financial market infrastructure and the importance of interoperability. The digital conversions occurred on HyperLedger Besu (DTCC’s private network) and Canton (a public network). This is part of DTCC's multi-chain strategy to ensure resiliency, scalability and choice.
