The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) and the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) have announced a partnership to enable the tokenization of assets custodied by The Depository Trust Company (DTC) on the Stellar network. This collaboration follows an SEC No-Action Letter received in December 2025, which authorized DTC to implement a new service for digital asset tokenization. The initiative aims to provide market participants with faster settlement, greater asset mobility, and reduced costs while maintaining identical investor protections and safeguards as traditionally held securities.
The integration is projected to launch in the first half of 2027, supporting the rapid conversion of traditional assets alongside full lifecycle management, corporate actions, and reporting. In the interim, both organizations will collaborate to evaluate tokenization use cases for highly liquid asset classes. This will include constituents of the Russell 1000, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tracking major indices, and U.S. Treasury bills, bonds, and notes, ensuring full compliance with DTC’s regulatory obligations.
