DTCC to connect its Tokenization Service to Solana in the second half of 2027

DTCC plans to let eligible DTC-custodied assets be tokenized on Solana's layer-1 network through the DTCC Tokenization Service, with the integration targeted for the second half of 2027.

The service went live on 28 October. DTCC says DTC-tokenized assets on Solana and the other networks connected to the service will keep the same investor protections and ownership rights as traditionally held securities.

President and CEO Frank La Salla said the move gives market participants more choice in where they access and use tokenized assets. Nadine Chakar, global head of DTCC Digital Assets, called interoperability the essential bridge to scalable, resilient and liquid digital markets.

Nick Ducoff, general manager for institutional at the Solana Foundation, said institutions choose Solana because it already runs real financial activity at scale.
