DTCC to Expand Tokenized Stocks and Treasuries to Solana in 2027

TL;DR

• DTCC plans to connect its Tokenization Service to Solana in the second half of 2027, allowing eligible DTC-custodied assets to be converted into tokenized form.
• The service supports tokenized representations of selected Russell 1000 stocks, major-index ETFs and U.S. Treasuries while preserving traditional ownership rights and investor protections.
• Solana will join DTCC’s expanding multi-chain strategy, alongside networks including Canton, Besu, Stellar and Arc, as institutional tokenization infrastructure broadens for institutions.

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation plans to connect its Tokenization Service to Solana in the second half of 2027, extending regulated tokenized securities to another public blockchain. According to the official Solana announcement, eligible assets held in custody at DTC will be convertible into tokenized form while preserving existing ownership rights, investor protections and regulatory safeguards. DTCC subsidiaries processed $4.7 quadrillion in securities transactions during 2025, while its depository provided custody and asset servicing for securities valued at $114 trillion. The integration would bring institutional tokenization infrastructure onto Solana, expanding the network choices available to market participants using DTCC’s service.

DTCC Expands Its Multi-Chain Tokenization Infrastructure

DTCC’s Tokenization Service launched on October 28 and currently supports Canton Network and a private blockchain built on Besu. The platform creates tokenized representations of securities already held at DTC rather than issuing unrelated synthetic assets. Eligible instruments include selected Russell 1000 stocks, major-index ETFs and U.S. Treasuries under the service’s regulatory framework. Once tokenized, eligible assets gain full token lifecycle functionality through supported networks. Adding Solana would extend the DTCC tokenization rollout into a broader multi-chain architecture, with Stellar and Arc also expected to join during 2027.

For market participants, the Solana connection is intended to provide additional choice over where DTC-tokenized assets can be accessed and used. DTCC said tokenized assets on Solana will retain the same protections and ownership rights as traditionally held securities, while the network could support opportunities around liquidity, collateral mobility and capital efficiency. Solana’s sub-second finality and low fees are presented as advantages for moving tokenized securities onchain around the clock. The expansion builds on early institutional use of the service, including Morgan Stanley’s tokenization of U.S. equities and Treasuries through DTCC, showing how traditional securities infrastructure is increasingly testing blockchain-based distribution and settlement.

The move also strengthens Solana’s position in tokenized securities infrastructure. Institutions are issuing securities, settling transactions and deploying capital on the network, while other projects are preparing additional regulated venues for tokenized stocks. Formation Securities, for example, has notified the SEC of plans to launch a Solana-based tokenized securities venue in early 2027. DTCC’s planned connection would therefore complement the growing institutional tokenized-securities ecosystem on Solana rather than create that market from scratch. The integration remains scheduled for the second half of 2027 and has not yet gone live.
