DTCC to launch tokenized securities trading by 2026 with major banks and Ripple Prime onboard

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) is advancing its tokenization service for securities, planning a phased rollout starting July 2026 and full launch by October 2026. This initiative involves over 50 major financial institutions, including BlackRock, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Nasdaq, and Ripple Prime, aiming to integrate blockchain-based settlement into traditional capital markets. The service will enable tokenized equities, ETFs, and U.S. Treasuries to be processed within existing post-trade infrastructure, enhancing liquidity, transparency, and efficiency. This move marks a significant convergence between traditional finance and blockchain technology, signaling a shift towards regulated digital asset markets.
