The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) plans to enable the tokenisation of eligible Depository Trust Company (DTC)-custodied assets on the Solana blockchain network.
The initiative will connect the DTCC Tokenization Service (DTS) to Solana's L1 network, supporting the conversion of eligible traditional assets into tokenised form and related token lifecycle functionality.
According to DTCC, the integration is expected to launch in the second half of 2027.
The announcement follows the launch of DTS on 28 October, which was designed to provide a framework for bringing traditionally held securities into digital asset ecosystems.
Frank La Salla, president and CEO of DTCC, says: "DTCC is bringing regulated, DTC-tokenised securities to another major blockchain ecosystem, giving market participants greater choice in where they access and utilise tokenised assets while preserving the protections of traditional markets and expanding opportunities for liquidity, collateral mobility and capital efficiency."
According to DTCC, the integration forms part of its strategy to support an interoperable financial ecosystem in which assets can move across traditional market infrastructure and multiple blockchain networks.
Brian Steele, managing director and president of DTCC Clearing & Securities Services, comments: "DTC-tokenised assets made available on Solana — and all blockchain networks integrated with the service — will retain the same investor protections, ownership rights and regulatory safeguards that apply to traditionally held securities."
Nick Ducoff, general manager, institutional, Solana Foundation, adds: "Bringing the DTCC Tokenization Service to Solana connects one of the most trusted names in post-trade infrastructure with a network built for always-on markets, enabling tokenised securities to settle and move as easily as any other asset onchain."
