The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation plans to enable the issuance on Solana of tokenized versions of securities held in custody by its subsidiary, the Depository Trust Company, in the second half of 2027. DTCC said the integration would give market participants more ways to use tokenized instruments while retaining the investor protections of traditional financial markets.

The planned integration will connect Solana to the DTCC Tokenization Service, or DTS, which allows traditional financial instruments to be converted into tokenized form and back, according to DTCC’s announcement.

Tokenization service and supported securities

DTCC launched DTS on Oct. 28, 2026. The service initially became available on Canton Network and DTCC’s private blockchain built on Hyperledger Besu.

In its first phase, the infrastructure supports certain categories of U.S. securities. These include shares of companies in the Russell 1000 index, exchange-traded funds that track major stock indexes and U.S. Treasuries. DTCC is implementing the project under previously obtained approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

DTCC President and CEO Frank La Salla said connecting Solana would expand market participants’ ability to use tokenized instruments while preserving investor-protection mechanisms available in traditional financial markets.

Brian Steele, president of DTCC’s Clearing & Securities Services division, said assets issued through DTS would provide the same ownership rights and regulatory safeguards as conventional securities. DTCC also expects the integration to improve the efficiency of collateral use and the movement of capital between traditional and blockchain platforms.

The planned connection follows other Solana-based securities initiatives. Securitize previously unveiled a regulated tokenized-stock trading project involving Jump Trading and Jupiter. Backpack also announced Backpack Securities, a service that enables stock tokenization on Solana.
