- DTCC can now tokenize real-world assets on blockchain.
- The SEC’s no-action letter facilitates this digital transition.
- This pilot could transform asset custody practices.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued a three-year no-action letter to the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, enabling tokenized stocks and real-world assets on approved blockchains.
This regulatory approval marks a significant step in digitizing market infrastructures, potentially transforming how securities and real-world assets are managed and traded.
SEC Greenlights DTCC’s Blockchain Tokenization Pilot
The SEC issued a no-action letter granting the DTCC permission to record tokenized stocks and other real-world assets on a blockchain. This endeavor involves expanding record-keeping to a blockchain platform, marking a significant step for asset digitalization in financial markets. More insight can be found in the SEC No-Action Letter on Digital Token Offerings.
This initiative potentially changes traditional asset management by incorporating blockchain networks into existing post-trade infrastructure. Blockchain technology may expedite transactions and broaden market accessibility.
“The pilot is a significant incremental step in moving markets onchain.” — Hester Peirce, Commissioner, SEC
DTCC’s Blockchain Efforts Mirror Past Innovations
Did you know? In prior experiments, the DTCC explored distributed ledger technology for post-trade processing, suggesting a consistent move towards integrating modern digital frameworks into its operations.
