The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) announced plans on Nov. 12, 2026 to connect its Tokenization Service (DTS) to Solana's Layer 1 network, with DTC-tokenized assets expected to become available on Solana in the second half of 2027. The integration follows the launch of DTS on Oct. 28 and advances DTCC's multi-chain strategy for an interoperable financial ecosystem.
Frank La Salla, President and CEO of DTCC, said the move brings regulated DTC-tokenized securities to another major blockchain ecosystem, giving market participants greater choice in where they access and utilize tokenized assets while preserving traditional market protections and expanding opportunities for liquidity, collateral mobility and capital efficiency.
Brian Steele, Managing Director and President of DTCC Clearing & Securities Services, emphasized that DTC-tokenized assets made available on Solana will retain the same investor protections, ownership rights, and regulatory safeguards that apply to traditionally held securities. Nadine Chakar, Global Head of DTCC Digital Assets, highlighted interoperability as the essential bridge to scalable, resilient, and liquid digital markets.
Nick Ducoff, GM of Institutional at Solana Foundation, said institutions chose Solana because it already runs real financial activity at scale, enabling tokenized securities to settle and move as easily as any other asset onchain.
DTCC's scale underscores the significance of the integration. In 2025, DTCC's subsidiaries processed securities transactions valued at U.S. $4.7 quadrillion and its depository subsidiary provided custody and asset servicing for securities issues from more than 150 countries valued at U.S. $114 trillion. The Solana integration is expected to support rapid conversion of eligible traditional assets into tokenized form and related token lifecycle functionality.
