DTCC Unveils Digital Launchpad to Accelerate Adoption of Digital Assets

Subscribe to our newsletter

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has introduced the DTCC Digital Launchpad, a new industry sandbox designed to foster collaboration and accelerate the adoption of digital assets across financial markets. This open ecosystem will bring together market participants, technology providers, and other stakeholders to co-develop and pilot solutions that address key challenges such as data interoperability and liquidity.

With tokenised securities projected to reach $16 trillion by 2030, the DTCC Digital Launchpad aims to resolve industry fragmentation caused by conflicting standards and processes. The platform offers distributed ledger technology (DLT) infrastructure and scalable tools from DTCC’s Digital Assets suite, enabling firms to explore digital asset innovations without building their own systems. The initiative features two tracks: an Industry Launchpad for collective industry efforts and a Client Launchpad offering tailored support for firms to develop bespoke digital asset solutions.

Frank La Salla, DTCC President, CEO and Director, commented: “DTCC Digital Launchpad will unify stakeholders from nearly every corner of the financial markets to solve the challenges facing adoption of digital asset technology. As an industry-owned and governed infrastructure for the world’s largest capital markets, DTCC is uniquely suited to drive industry collaboration under the banner of a larger goal: building a digital asset ecosystem that’s as safe and sound as the one we have for traditional securities today.”
