DTCC to Integrate Chainlink Technology into Digitally Native Collateral AppChain

Subscribe to our newsletter

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has announced it will leverage the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) and Chainlink’s data standards to power its new Collateral AppChain platform. This shared infrastructure is designed to modernise collateral mobility and improve capital efficiency across the global financial services industry. By integrating the CRE, the platform will gain access to a resilient data and orchestration layer, facilitating automated workflows for complex post-trade processes including valuation, margining, and collateral optimisation.

The partnership aims to overhaul global market risk management by enabling the seamless pairing of asset prices and valuations with asset movement. Unlike traditional one-off integrations, the CRE provides a reusable framework, allowing the Collateral AppChain to scale efficiently across diverse asset classes and new data types. This interoperable foundation is intended to serve a wide range of market participants, from collateral providers and managers to triparty agents and custodians. Following its initial unveiling during the ‘Great Collateral Experiment’, the platform is scheduled to go live in the fourth quarter of 2026.
