DTCC plans Solana tokenization

Highlights

DTCC will enable DTC-custodied traditional assets to be tokenized and transferred on Solana with full lifecycle support starting H2 2027.
In 2025, DTCC processed $4.7 quadrillion in securities transactions and provided custody/servicing for assets from over 150 countries valued at $114 trillion.
Adding Solana to DTCC Tokenization Service expands multi-chain access, potentially increasing liquidity, collateral mobility, and capital efficiency for institutional participants.

Integration plan and service scope

As reported by Solana, citing DTCC, the integration is designed to add Solana to the blockchain networks supported by the DTCC Tokenization Service, broadening access for market participants that want to use DTC-tokenized assets across multiple chains.

Under the plan, eligible traditional assets held within DTC custody can be converted into tokenized form on Solana with full token lifecycle functionality once the connection goes live in H2 2027. DTCC says those assets will continue to carry the same protections and legal rights that apply in traditional market infrastructure.

DTCC positions the service as a bridge between established securities processing systems and digital asset markets. In 2025, DTCC subsidiaries processed securities transactions worth $4.7 quadrillion, while its depository provided custody and asset servicing for securities from more than 150 countries valued at $114 trillion.

Choice of network and market implications

For institutions and other market participants, adding Solana expands the range of blockchain venues available through DTS, potentially improving how tokenized collateral and securities move between venues and are used across trading and funding activities.

DTCC says the added network access could support greater liquidity, collateral mobility and capital efficiency. The company is also framing the expansion as part of a broader multi-chain approach rather than a shift away from traditional protections tied to DTC-custodied assets.

Solana Foundation says the network is already being used by institutions for securities issuance, transaction settlement and capital deployment. Nick Ducoff, general manager for institutional business at Solana Foundation, says Solana's sub-second finality and low fees make it suitable for always-on financial markets where tokenized securities can settle and move continuously onchain.
