DTCC plans to launch DTC custody asset tokenization services on the Stellar public blockchain

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) and the Stellar Development Foundation announced a partnership to implement DTC custody asset tokenization services on the Stellar network, with related assets scheduled to officially launch in the first half of 2027.

DTCC had already received a no-action letter from the U.S. SEC in December 2025, allowing it to engage in real-world asset tokenization business. The two parties will focus on advancing the on-chain conversion of highly liquid assets such as Russell 1000 constituents, mainstream index ETFs, U.S. Treasury bonds, and various types of bonds.

This collaboration relies on the Stellar network to build a compliant on-chain channel, marking an important advancement for traditional financial infrastructure to embrace blockchain, and will further broaden the application scenarios for real-world asset tokenization.
