DTCC Subsidiary Receives SEC No-Action Letter to Tokenise Real-World Assets

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has announced that its subsidiary, The Depository Trust Company (DTC), has received a No-Action Letter (NAL) from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This authorisation permits DTC to offer a service tokenising real-world, DTC-custodied assets within a controlled production environment. The initiative will apply to specific highly liquid assets, including the Russell 1000 companies, ETFs tracking major indices, and U.S. Treasury securities. DTC anticipates rolling out the service in the second half of 2026, with the NAL authorising operations on pre-approved blockchains for a three-year period.

Under this framework, the tokenised assets will retain the same entitlements, ownership rights, and investor protections as traditional assets. Supported by DTCC’s ComposerX suite, the service will operate across approved Layer 1 and Layer 2 providers to facilitate greater asset mobility, decentralisation, and programmability. This move aims to bridge traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralised finance (DeFi) by creating a single pool of liquidity. DTCC intends to release further details regarding onboarding requirements and wallet registration in the coming months.
