DTCC Tokenization Service opens up to $30T in assets on-chain

DTCC has rolled out its Tokenization Service, initially covering 25 securities across U.S. Treasuries, equities, and ETFs — a first step toward bringing up to roughly $30 trillion in real-world assets on-chain, the pool of securities held in custody at DTC. The service runs on permissioned blockchain networks including the Canton Network and Hyperledger Besu, with tokenized securities backed 1:1 by assets at DTC and transferable around the clock between registered wallets.

• Initial 25 securities include Russell 1000 equities, ETFs, and Treasuries
• Stellar and Circle's Arc are slated to connect to the service in 2027
• DTCC's full custody holdings total more than $100 trillion, leaving the vast majority outside the service's current scope

KuCoin amplified the announcement via its official X feed and blog, framing it as a milestone for tokenized real-world assets.
