U.S. SEC permits DTCC to safeguard and support tokenized stocks and real-world assets on blockchain

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has granted a no-action letter allowing the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) to custody tokenized stocks and other real-world assets (RWAs) on a blockchain for three years.

DTCC plans to introduce its tokenization service to the U.S. Market in late 2026, a significant step towards on-chain operations, as highlighted by SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce.
