DTCC selects Stellar for tokenized securities settlement platform

U.S. clearing giant DTCC has chosen the Stellar blockchain as the first public network for its upcoming tokenized securities platform. The move builds on a nearly decade-long collaboration and is set to begin in the first half of 2027.

DTCC, which oversees more than $114 trillion in assets, will connect its Depository Trust Company to Stellar for the issuance, settlement and lifecycle management of tokenized securities. The integration supports compliance features such as clawbacks, transfer restrictions and identity controls that were developed through the partnership with Securrency, now known as DTCC Digital Assets.
