Trust Foundation and Clearing Company (DTCC) says its tokenization process is now operational as a bridge between TradFi and digital assets. The official launch of DTCC Tokenization is planned for October 2026. It is important for DTCC to prepare for the future, as multiple platforms currently provide tokenization services and DTCC aims to maintain its business as a key market infrastructure for the global financial services industry.
DTCC says tokenized transactions were processed today (July 15), laying the groundwork for the DTCC Tokenization service. More than 30 companies participated in the test. HyperLedger Besu (DTCC’s private network) and Canton were used for digital transformations. DTCC aims to support users’ multi-chain selection.
Various transactions were executed, including treasury/repo delivery-to-payment (DVP) transactions, equity DVP transactions, stock delivery-to-delivery (DVD) transactions, equity token transfers, and central counterparty (CCP) margin workflows.
Frank LaSallaDTCC President and CEO said the testing is indicative that his company applies the same corporate rigor in handling digital assets that it already has.
DTCC benefits from its massive scale and market frictions. In 2025, DTCC’s subsidiaries executed securities transactions worth $4.7 quadrillion. Its size and existing regulatory moat will help DTCC protect its business. Meanwhile, multiple companies want to compete and gain market share from the firm.
