"Tokenization is the process of creating a digital representation of an existing asset on a blockchain. The underlying asset stays in DTC's custody and retains all its existing legal protections, ownership rights, and entitlements."
"DTCC is not issuing new assets or creating speculative instruments. It is taking things that already exist and making digital versions of them available to its participants."
"The SEC gave regulatory cover for this in December 2025, issuing a no-action letter that authorized the service for a defined asset set over a three-year window."
DTCC will begin live trades of tokenized securities in July 2026, with a full launch in October. Tokenization creates digital representations of existing assets on a blockchain while retaining legal protections and ownership rights. The SEC authorized this service in December 2025, allowing for a defined asset set over three years. Over 50 firms, including major financial institutions and digital asset companies, contributed to the service's development, indicating a broad industry collaboration.
