The DTCC Tokenization Service is live on @CantonNetwork.
Today’s launch caps a path that started with a December 2025 No-Action Letter from the SEC, authorizing DTC to tokenize Russell 1000 constituents, major-index ETFs, and U.S. Treasuries.
In July, more than 30 TradFi and digital-asset firms validated the service on Canton, setting up today’s full production launch.
DTC is now minting tokenized representations of those securities, with 21 DTC Participants live at launch, including Citadel Securities, J.P. Morgan Securities, Morgan Stanley, State Street, UBS, and Vanguard. It’s a foundational step in bringing capital markets and the broader financial ecosystem onchain on Canton Network.
Congratulations to @The_DTCC and every participating firm.
“Blockchain tourism” is what happens when companies experiment with the technology without a clear path to how clients make money.
The fix starts with the use case and works backward to the technology.
@YuvalRooz discusses with @_TalkingTokens.

The repo market alone moves roughly $15T in notional value every day.
Just 1% of that shifting onchain would equal the entire crypto market’s current daily trading volume.

The use cases that succeed with institutions show ROI within 3 to 6 months of production, not ones that require transforming the business first.
That keeps integration cost low enough to prove results early. @YuvalRooz discusses with @_TalkingTokens.
Digital Asset has partnered with The Value Exchange on a report, The Case for Tokenized Equities, examining how the market is developing and what it will take to support broader adoption.
Tokenised equities already represent billions of dollars held by more than 300,000 investors, with institutional activity growing alongside a fast-growing retail market.
That scale is pushing infrastructure, regulation and operating models into sharper focus.
The report also covers market development across retail and institutional investors, operational opportunities in settlement, and the regulatory considerations shaping what comes next.

Korean regulation now permits financial institutions to bring domestic equities like SK Hynix and Samsung onchain, with a February launch.

“The infrastructure, the technology is all in place. Now, its a matter of the industry scaling adoption and application of use cases that add incremental value beyond what the traditional finance infrastructure offers today,” - DA's Ed Corral.
