The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) is launching its DTC Tokenization Service in October 2026, moving a portion of the $4.7 quadrillion US securities settlement on-chain using a dual-chain approach with Canton Network and LFDT Besu, aiming to replace legacy settlement infrastructure. This initiative includes over 50 institutional participants such as BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Nasdaq, operating under an SEC No-Action Letter that authorizes tokenization of custodied assets, marking a significant institutional shift to multi-chain on-chain settlement.
