DTCC said its DTC Tokenization Service is scheduled for commercial launch in October 2026, following production transactions completed on Canton Network on July 15 as a final operational stress test. More than 30 companies took part in those transactions, which covered collateral pledging, securities lending, U.S. Treasuries and repo DVP, equity DVP, equity DVD, tokenized equity transfers, and CCP margin workflows across Canton Network and LFDT’s Besu. The regulatory basis was established on Dec. 11, 2025, when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued a three-year no-action letter authorizing DTC to operate tokenization services for assets it holds in custody on pre-approved blockchains. The service is supported by DTCC’s ComposerX platform suite. DTCC also said the industry working group now includes more than 50 companies, naming firms such as BlackRock, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citi, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Schwab, State Street, Nasdaq, NYSE, Circle, Ondo, Ripple Prime, Fireblocks, BitGo, Tradeweb, and Virtu. According to DTCC data, global high-quality liquid assets total $300 trillion, with only 10% to 11% currently used as collateral.
