DTCC and Stellar to Enable Asset Tokenization by 2027
- The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) plans to integrate with the Stellar blockchain for asset tokenization.
- DTC-tokenized assets are expected to be available on Stellar by the first half of 2027.
- A No-Action Letter from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in December 2025 cleared DTCC to tokenize custodial assets.
- DTCC aims to tokenize exchange-traded funds (ETFs), U.S. Treasuries, and Russell 1000 stocks next.
- The collaboration supports faster settlement, greater asset mobility, and extended trading hours.
The partnership between DTCC and Stellar aims to bridge traditional finance with digital markets through asset tokenization on a public blockchain. This initiative is part of DTCC’s strategy to enhance transaction efficiency while maintaining investor protections.
With SEC approval, DTCC’s move towards tokenizing ETFs, Treasuries, and Russell stocks marks a significant shift in capital markets infrastructure development.(Source)
