DTCC to pilot tokenization trading this month with Wall Street’s biggest names
The world's largest securities depository is digitizing $114 trillion in custodied assets, starting with the most liquid corners of the market
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) is set to begin limited production trading of tokenized real-world assets this month ahead of the planned October launch of its tokenization platform, developed in collaboration with more than 50 global financial firms.
The Depository Trust Company’s tokenization service will allow securities held in custody to be represented on blockchain networks while maintaining the same investor protections and legal ownership rights as conventional assets.
The initiative has attracted participation from firms including BlackRock, Bank of America, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Nasdaq, Circle, Robinhood and Kraken.
The service rollout follows a no-action letter from the US Securities and Exchange Commission received in December 2025 authorizing a defined tokenization offering for eligible assets, including Russell 1000 stocks, major ETFs and US Treasuries.
The company said it will continue working with industry participants before the planned October commercial launch.
