DTCC adds Solana to Wall Street tokenization plans, targeting 2027 rollout

The securities infrastructure giant plans to bring tokenized stocks, ETFs and U.S. Treasuries to Solana as it expands next year's roadmap beyond Stellar and Arc.

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation plans to bring its tokenization service to Solana in the second half of 2027, allowing eligible stocks, exchange-traded funds and U.S. Treasuries to become blockchain-based tokens.

The service launched with 34 eligible securities representing roughly $30 trillion in assets, a figure that reflects securities available for tokenization rather than assets already on a blockchain.

Unlike synthetic stock tokens that dominate Solana’s tokenized stock activity, the securities tokenized through the service will retain their existing ownership rights, investor protections and regulatory safeguards, DTCC said.

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), the Wall Street infrastructure giant behind much of U.S. securities trading, will bring its tokenization service to Solana in the second half of 2027.

The integration will allow eligible stocks, exchange-traded funds and U.S. Treasuries held at DTCC's subsidiary, the Depository Trust Company (DTC), to be converted into blockchain-based tokens on Solana, the organizations said Thursday.

The move expands DTCC's growing lineup of blockchain networks. Its tokenization service went live late October on Canton Network (CC) and DTCC's private blockchain Besu, with Stellar XLM$0.1433 and Circle's Arc also on the roadmap for next year, CoinDesk reported.

DTCC sits at the center of how U.S. markets operate. Through its DTC subsidiary, it holds $114 trillion in securities for banks and brokerages. Its new service debuted with 34 eligible securities representing roughly $30 trillion, though that figure reflects assets eligible for tokenization, not the amount already onchain.

Tokenization promises to make traditional securities easier to move and use as collateral, including outside normal market hours. Citi estimates the tokenized asset market, including equities, could reach $5.5 trillion by 2030. Connecting DTCC's infrastructure to public blockchains could bring those benefits closer to the financial firms that already use its services.

"DTCC is bringing regulated, DTC-tokenized securities to another major blockchain ecosystem, giving market participants greater choice in where they access and utilize tokenized assets," said Frank La Salla, DTCC's president and CEO.

Solana’s $600 million worth of stock tokens on the network trails only BNB Chain and Ethereum among blockchain networks. It is also the second most-active by transfer volume with over $11 billion in tokens changing hands this month, according to RWA.xyz data.

"Institutions chose Solana because it already runs real financial activity at scale," said Nick Ducoff, general manager of institutional business at the Solana Foundation. "Bringing the DTCC Tokenization Service to Solana connects one of the most trusted names in post-trade infrastructure with a network built for always-on markets."

However, most of the activity is linked to synthetic stock tokens, which do not provide the same shareholder rights as the underlying assets.

The securities will retain their existing ownership rights, investor protections and regulatory safeguards, DTCC said.
