DTCC launches DTCC Digital Assets Solutions. 31 March 2026 US Reporter: Hansa Tote Image: Kazi/stock.adobe.com Following regulatory authorisation in December, The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has launched a new business line - DTCC Digital Assets Solutions - to tokenise real world DTC custodied assets. According to DTCC, this step reflects growing client interest in tokenisation and builds upon the work of DTCC Digital Assets, which remains at the forefront of developing digital financial market infrastructure. Together, the two businesses will partner to strengthen DTCC's leadership role as a bridge between traditional market infrastructure and emerging digital asset ecosystems. DTCC Digital Asset Solutions will sit within Clearing & Securities Services, which includes three clearing agency subsidiaries and is led by Brian Steele, and specifically under the firm's Equities portfolio, led by Val Wotton. It will be responsible for developing and driving DTCC's strategy to tokenise DTC custodied assets. In doing so, it will create a wide range of innovative solutions that are connected to existing DTCC assets and services. To ensure maximum impact, the business will leverage technology created by DTCC Digital Assets to deliver offerings that are integrated with DTCC's existing infrastructure and risk framework. Tom Sullivan, who has more than 20 years of experience in securities and banking with a focus on operations and innovation, will lead DTCC Digital Asset Solutions. DTCC Digital Assets, under the leadership of Nadine Chakar, will continue its work with digital technologies and co-creating technology-driven platforms with the industry, building upon its previous work developing solutions such as DTCC ComposerX, DTCC LaunchPad, and Collateral AppChain in a Web3 digital ecosystem. DTCC Digital Assets will also continue to focus on developing and enhancing its ComposerX platform in support of the industry, which will enable clients to leverage the same infrastructure used by DTCC. To support the development of DTCC Digital Asset Solutions offerings and ensure close alignment with industry needs, the firm is establishing the Digital Assets Solutions Advisory Council, which will launch in the second quarter of 2026. The council will primarily be composed of senior business leaders from client firms and will be focused on business level requirements, product prioritisation, and client readiness related specifically to DTCC Digital Assets Solutions offerings and DTC digital initiatives, including the new tokenisation service. In the interim, the current Early User Working Group, which was formed late last year to focus on certain use cases, will continue to operate but will be folded under the new Digital Assets Solutions Advisory Council ahead of its first meeting at the end of April. The mandate of the already-established Digital Assets Advisory Council, which is aligned to DTCC Digital Assets, will continue to focus broadly on digital asset infrastructure, innovation, and curating a Web3 ecosystem, while championing interoperability, partnerships, and standards across the industry. The two councils will collaborate closely to ensure strategic alignment.

SEC gives go-ahead to Nasdaq for tokenized trading trial. Nasdaq has been given the regulatory green light to offer some tokenized stocks, which will trade alongside traditional securities on its exchange. The US Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday approved Nasdaq's pilot proposal to support the trading of tokenized versions of stocks and other securities. Nasdaq first filed its proposal in September that sought to allow trades on high-volume stocks in either a traditional or tokenized form on the same exchange in a pilot with the key market infrastructure firm, Depository Trust Company. The tokenized stocks would trade alongside their traditional counterparts on the same order book, at the same price, with the same ticker and identifying number and carry the same rights.
DTCC taps Canton Network to advance tokenized treasuries. Regulatory green light enables new tokenization initiative. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, an industry-owned provider of clearing and settlement infrastructure, has chosen the privacy-focused Canton Network as a strategic partner to support its tokenization efforts. The decision marks a significant step in DTCC's broader plan to modernize market infrastructure by introducing blockchain-based representations of traditional financial assets. According to the announcement, the collaboration will allow a selected portion of U.S. Treasury securities that are currently custodied at the Depository Trust Company to be issued in tokenized form on the Canton Network. This move follows DTCC's recent receipt of a No-Action Letter from the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The regulatory clearance allows DTCC to implement and operate a new service dedicated to the tokenization of real-world assets held within DTC. With this regulatory assurance in place, DTCC and its partners are positioning the initiative as a compliant pathway for integrating distributed ledger technology into core financial market operations. MVP planned for 2026 with scope for expansion. The organizations involved have indicated that development efforts are now focused on delivering a minimum viable product in a controlled production environment. This initial phase is expected to take place during the first half of 2026. The MVP will serve as a testing ground to validate the operational, technical, and regulatory aspects of tokenizing U.S. Treasury securities within an institutional-grade setting. Following this initial rollout, the project is expected to scale in both size and functionality. Any expansion beyond the MVP phase will depend largely on market demand and feedback from participating clients. This phased approach reflects a cautious but deliberate strategy, aimed at ensuring stability, security, and usability before broader adoption. Bridging traditional and digital financial systems. DTCC's leadership has characterized the partnership as a strategic advancement in building digital market infrastructure that connects established financial systems with emerging blockchain technologies. The collaboration with Digital Asset and the Canton Network is intended to create a seamless link between traditional securities processing and token-based systems, while maintaining the levels of resilience, scalability, and risk management expected in global financial markets. The Canton Network itself was developed to support the issuance, trading, and management of tokenized real-world assets, including bonds, loans, and investment funds. Its architecture allows multiple institutions to operate on a shared ledger while preserving transaction privacy and meeting jurisdictional and legal requirements. This design is particularly relevant for regulated entities that require confidentiality alongside interoperability. Institutional backing strengthens Canton ecosystem. Digital Asset, the technology firm responsible for developing the Canton Network, is supported by a consortium of major financial institutions and market participants. Its backers include prominent asset managers, exchanges, data providers, and investment banks, underscoring the strong institutional interest behind the network. This level of support signals confidence in Canton's potential to serve as a foundational layer for tokenized financial markets. From Digital Asset's perspective, DTCC's involvement is expected to accelerate industry adoption of decentralized financial infrastructure. Company leadership has indicated that DTCC's participation could help unlock new liquidity channels, enable innovative financial products, and drive operational efficiencies across the market. DTCC takes governance role alongside Euroclear. Beyond the tokenization project itself, DTCC is set to assume a leadership position within the Canton Network's decentralized governance framework. The firm will join the Canton Foundation as a co-chair alongside Euroclear, another major post-trade infrastructure provider. This role will give DTCC a direct voice in shaping governance decisions, technical standards, and best practices for the network. By participating in governance, DTCC aims to contribute its expertise in market structure and risk management to the development of decentralized financial infrastructure. The companies involved have indicated that this collaborative governance model is intended to promote consistency, interoperability, and trust across tokenized markets, laying the groundwork for broader industry-wide innovation.
