DTCC just announced it will start using the Solana blockchain to turn stocks, ETFs, and US Treasuries into digital tokens in the second half of 2027.
This means big-name assets could soon move on a faster, more modern network, part of DTCC's push to make trading smoother and more flexible.
DTCC handles $114T, Solana trades $11B
DTCC handles a mind-blowing $114 trillion in securities, so this shift is a big deal for how financial markets work.
By adding Solana, with over $11 billion in tokens changing hands this month, financial firms will get easier access to digital assets, even after hours.
Plus, all the usual ownership rights and rules stay protected.
As DTCC's president and CEO Frank La Salla puts it, "DTCC is bringing regulated, DTC-tokenized securities to another major blockchain ecosystem, giving market participants greater choice in where they access and utilize tokenized assets."
