DTCC to test tokenized equities and Treasuries in July with over 50 firms, wider rollout in October

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) said it will begin limited trading of tokenized securities via its DTC unit in July 2026, with a full launch planned for October, according to reporting and DTCC announcements ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

DTCC’s initiative will target tokenization of Russell 1000 stocks and U.S. Treasuries and involves more than 50 participating firms, including BlackRock, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Nasdaq, Ondo Finance and Payward, per coverage of the rollout plans ^{[4] [3]}.

DTCC—an infrastructure provider that oversees roughly $114 trillion in securities—frames the tokenization effort as a way to enhance liquidity, transparency and efficiency in financial markets; industry observers say the move adds momentum to Wall Street’s blockchain efforts ^{[4] [1] [2]}.

A July pilot followed by an October rollout will test integrating tokenized equities and Treasuries into existing clearing and settlement systems, with broad industry participation expected during the pilot phase ^{[1] [2] [3]}.
