The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) announced plans to integrate the Solana blockchain into its securities tokenization platform. The integration is scheduled for the second half of 2027.
DTCC, one of the world’s largest post-trade financial infrastructure operators, plans to enable tokenization on Solana of securities held in custody at its subsidiary, The Depository Trust Company (DTC).
The integration will run through DTCC Tokenization Service (DTS). Testing of the service began in July 2026 with more than 30 organizations taking part, and it officially launched in October.
Connecting Solana will let market participants convert eligible traditional financial assets into tokenized form and manage their lifecycle on-chain. DTCC expects the integration to expand the use of digital securities in liquidity and collateral operations.
Solana support is scheduled to go live in the second half of 2027. The company highlighted several main applications for tokenized assets:
- greater collateral mobility across financial platforms and blockchains
- broader liquidity management capabilities
- more efficient use of capital
- interoperability between traditional financial infrastructure and various blockchains
Frank La Salla, President and Chief Executive Officer of DTCC, said connecting Solana will give financial institutions an additional choice of regulated infrastructure for tokenized securities transactions.
Brian Steele, Managing Director, President of DTCC Clearing & Securities Services, said holders of securities tokenized through DTC will have the same ownership rights and investor protections as holders of traditional securities. Existing regulatory requirements will also apply to these assets, whether they’re issued on Solana or on other blockchains integrated with DTS in the future.
Nadine Chakar, Managing Director, Global Head of DTCC Digital Assets, said interoperability between different infrastructures is essential for building scalable and liquid digital markets. According to her, the company aims to create an open platform with access to distributed networks that have proven performance, security, and governance.
The Solana Foundation sees the integration as a chance to expand the blockchain’s use in the institutional financial sector. Nick Ducoff, GM, Institutional, Solana Foundation, said connecting to DTS will make it possible to settle and move tokenized securities on Solana the same way as other on-chain assets.
DTCC announced plans for its own asset tokenization service, developed with input from more than 50 financial institutions, in May 2026. The company ran its first test transactions tokenizing U.S. Treasuries back in 2024, and in 2025 it signed an agreement with blockchain company Digital Asset to launch a real-world asset tokenization service on the Canton Network.
