The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), the world’s largest securities settlement system, has launched a blockchain-based platform for tokenized collateral management.
This initiative aims to address inefficiencies in traditional collateral systems, which often suffer from fragmented infrastructure and slow settlements. By leveraging blockchain technology, DTCC enables real-time transfers and automation through smart contracts.
The platform operates within DTCC’s AppChain ecosystem, built on LF Decentralized Trust’s Besu blockchain. Nadine Chakar, global head of DTCC Digital Assets, highlighted that this platform is more open, flexible, and comprehensive than previous digital collateral initiatives.
DTCC plans to showcase its capabilities at “The Great Collateral Experiment” event on April 23, where industry participants will test how tokenized assets can be mobilized across markets. The company is also engaging with regulators to establish global standards for tokenized collateral.
