The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) announced a two-phase rollout for its tokenization service, aiming to integrate tokenized real-world securities into US capital market infrastructure. A pilot program for limited production trades is planned for July 2026, with a broader launch expected in October.
Tokenized assets will maintain the same entitlements, investor protections, and ownership rights as traditional securities. DTCC custodies over $114 trillion in assets.
Brian Steele, DTCC Managing Director, emphasized scaling where liquidity exists. Nadine Chakar, Global Head of Digital Assets, called tokenization a critical step toward a scalable, interoperable Web3 environment.
Industry Working Group participants include Anchorage Digital, Bank of America, BitGo Bank, BlackRock, and Ripple Prime, among over 50 other firms.
CEO Frank La Salla described the initiative as bridging TradFi and DeFi through structured dialogue.
