DTCC's tokenized securities platform will connect to Stellar starting in H1 2027, opening path for Wall Street assets to settle onchain. The $114 trillion custodian is leveraging Securrency's institutional-grade compliance tech (clawback, transfer restrictions, KYC controls) to bring regulated finance infrastructure to Stellar.
DTCC, which oversees $114 trillion in assets, announced its tokenized securities platform will integrate with Stellar beginning in H1 2027. The integration stems from DTCC's 2023 acquisition of Securrency, an institutional blockchain platform that spent a decade helping regulated financial institutions issue onchain assets with compliance controls. Securrency co-authored Stellar's clawback functionality (CAP-35) and transfer restrictions that are now core network features. The move validates a path Franklin Templeton walked in 2019-2021, launching BENJI (a tokenized money market fund) on Stellar. With DTCC's backing, tokenized U.S. Treasuries, money market funds, and other highly liquid assets could settle onchain. Market forecasts project $2 trillion in tokenized assets by 2028 and as much as $18.9 trillion by 2033.
