On November 12, 2026, DTCC said it planned to connect its DTCC Tokenization Service (DTS) to the Solana Layer 1 network in the second half of 2027. The proposed integration would allow eligible assets held in custody by DTC to be represented as tokens, with functions for managing those tokens through their lifecycle.
DTS launched on October 28. DTCC described the planned Solana integration as an extension of its multichain strategy. According to DTCC, tokenized DTC assets would retain the investor protections, ownership rights and regulatory safeguards of traditionally held securities. It also said the integration could improve liquidity, the movement of collateral and capital efficiency; those are stated aims, not reported outcomes.
What does the token represent? In this plan, it would represent an eligible DTC-custodied asset—not ownership of the Solana network. Solana Foundation institutional business general manager Nick Ducoff said the integration would let tokenized securities settle and move like other on-chain assets.
DTCC president and CEO Frank La Salla described the plan as bringing regulated DTC-tokenized securities to another major blockchain ecosystem. Clearing and Securities Services president Brian Steele emphasized infrastructure that is secure, interoperable and market-neutral, while global head of digital assets Nadine Chakar called interoperability key to scaling digital markets.
