DTCC to Launch Tokenization Services with SEC Approval

On December 11, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) announced that its subsidiary, the Depository Trust Company (DTC), has obtained a no-action letter from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), authorizing the provision of a new service to tokenize real-world assets (RWA) under DTC management. DTC plans to roll out this service in the latter half of 2026. DTCC serves as a crucial post-trade market infrastructure for the global financial services industry, automating and standardizing the settlement, clearing, and custody of transactions.
