DTCC executive Nadine discusses how DTCC Digital Assets, built on Securrency technology, is tokenizing U.S. markets and bridging traditional finance with blockchain infrastructure through open, interoperable platforms.
Nadine, head of DTCC Digital Assets, shares her journey from BNY Mellon and State Street to Securrency and now DTCC. She explains how DTCC, the sole provider of post-trade infrastructure in the U.S., acquired Securrency's team and technology to create DTCC Digital Assets. The initiative focuses on tokenizing U.S. markets while maintaining compatibility with traditional systems. She discusses the Great Collateral Experiment conducted in April, which demonstrated that real-world and crypto assets can coexist on the same platform, enabling faster collateral movement and recovery. DTCC is building Launchpad, an open platform designed to aggregate the industry and foster innovation through partnerships with Stellar, Chainlink, and others. She emphasizes that institutions must engage with blockchain for the right reasons, not just FOMO, and that the technology is ready; the challenge now is organizational will and modernizing business models.
