The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has officially announced the expansion of its tokenization service to the public Solana blockchain. The premier US capital markets clearing and settlement institution holds custody of more than $114 trillion in securities through its subsidiary, DTC.
The connection to the Solana network is scheduled to launch in the second half of 2027 via the DTCC Tokenization Service (DTS). The integration aims to issue digital twins of assets held in custody at DTC.
DTCC CEO Frank La Salla emphasized that the integration brings regulated securities to another major blockchain ecosystem, providing market participants with broader flexibility in accessing tokenized assets.
The move places traditional capital market assets directly onto a decentralized public network.
Regulatory Certainty and Early-Stage Assets
Under the protection of a no-action letter from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), tokens issued on Solana carry legal certainty, investor protections, and ownership rights identical to conventional securities.
Asset coverage in the initial phase will focus on high-liquidity instruments. The roster includes constituent stocks of the Russell 1000 index, major index-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and US Treasuries.
The DTS service itself previously launched on October 28, 2026, across the Canton Network and a Hyperledger Besu-based private network. Solana follows alongside Stellar and Circle’s Arc blockchain, which are also scheduled for integration in 2027.
150-Millisecond Infrastructure and Market Pathways
The Solana Foundation noted that institutional adoption is driven by deterministic high throughput, the rollout of the Alpenglow upgrade that slashed transaction finality to 150 milliseconds, and a new institutional settlement standard developed in collaboration with J.P. Morgan.
Institutional interest in the infrastructure was already underway ahead of the official announcement. Investment banking giant Morgan Stanley reportedly piloted the tokenization of US stocks and Treasuries via the DTS infrastructure a week earlier.
Secondary market readiness is also taking shape on the trading side. Trading platform Formation has filed notice with the SEC regarding plans to facilitate trading of tokenized US stocks on Solana, starting with shares of Galaxy and Forward Industries.
For market participants and the crypto community, the integration of traditional securities into public chains is no longer merely a proof of concept. The arrival of digital twins of Wall Street equities and government debt on Solana demonstrates that capital market settlement is beginning to migrate to open networks.
