DTCC Unveils ComposerX to Streamline Digital Asset Adoption

Subscribe to our newsletter

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has introduced ComposerX, a comprehensive suite of platforms aimed at simplifying token creation and settlement, with the goal of accelerating digital asset adoption across the financial sector.

ComposerX provides an end-to-end framework for managing digital assets throughout their lifecycle, encompassing issuance, distribution, servicing, and reporting. The platform offers advanced transaction, account, and inventory management tools, along with an open smart contract framework designed to automate financial processes and enhance asset discoverability through reconcilable, self-describing data.

The ComposerX suite comprises three key platforms:

ComposerX Capital Markets Platform (CMP) – A DLT-agnostic solution supporting token lifecycle management, including investor onboarding, trading, corporate actions, and transfer agency activities. CMP is designed to integrate with both legacy systems and ComposerX’s other platforms, enabling greater flexibility and transparency.

ComposerX Factory – A tokenisation engine with automated data management capabilities, supporting industry standards such as ERC-20 and ERC-3643. Factory enables the creation of “self-describing” smart tokens, embedding verifiable data schemas to facilitate discoverability and automated business processes.

ComposerX LedgerScan – A token activity monitoring and reconciliation tool, allowing firms to track token transactions across networks and integrate with existing accounting and custodial models. LedgerScan provides near real-time data transparency to help bridge traditional and digital financial infrastructure.

Nadine Chakar, Global Head of DTCC Digital Assets, commented: “We’re excited to launch the ComposerX suite, which provides firms with the tools they need to usher in a new era of institutional DeFi. This is a milestone in DTCC’s journey to lead the industry toward the development of a digital financial markets ecosystem, where digital assets are treated with the same care afforded to traditional securities. We look forward to continuing our work with the industry to build an open, secure and scalable financial markets infrastructure for the digital economy.”

ComposerX incorporates DTCC’s patented Compliance Aware Token Framework (CATF), which enables real-time regulatory enforcement during transactions. CATF automates compliance with multi-jurisdictional regulations, facilitating efficient and controlled asset tokenisation.

DTCC plans to continue enhancing ComposerX throughout 2025, including expanding Factory’s capabilities to enable greater composability of financial processes. The initiative aligns with DTCC’s broader strategy to develop a robust digital financial market infrastructure in collaboration with industry participants.
