Today, DTCC announced plans to enable the tokenization of DTC-custodied assets on the Stellar network, with availability expected in the first half of 2027.
DTCC is the post-trade infrastructure behind nearly every U.S. securities transaction: $4.7 quadrillion processed last year, $114 trillion in custodied assets. When DTCC connects to a public blockchain, the industry takes notice.
The connection advances DTCC's standards-driven, multi-chain strategy, following a No-Action Letter from the SEC in December 2025 that authorized DTC to tokenize real-world assets. Eligible asset classes under evaluation include constituents of the Russell 1000, ETFs tracking major indices, and U.S. Treasury bills, bonds, and notes, with the same investor protections participants expect from traditionally held assets.
In Nadine Chakar's words (DTCC's Global Head of Digital Assets): "Stellar's proven track record with institutional assets onchain is an important factor in our evaluation… Its emphasis on compliance, transaction throughput and low-cost operations meets our rigorous standards."
