[DTCC Plans to Integrate DTS into Solana Network, Expected to Launch in the Second Half of 2027] The U.S. Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) announced plans to integrate its tokenized service (DTS) into Solana's Layer 1 network, enabling eligible DTC custodial assets to be converted into tokens, with an expected launch in the second half of 2027. Launched on October 28, DTS's integration into Solana is an extension of its multi-chain strategy. DTCC stated that after integration, tokenized assets will retain the same investor protection, ownership rights, and regulatory safeguards as traditional securities, while improving liquidity, collateral liquidity, and capital efficiency. DTCC President and CEO Frank La Salla stated that this brings regulated DTC tokenized securities to another mainstream blockchain ecosystem. Brian Steele, President of Clearing and Securities Services, described the service as a secure, interoperable, and market-neutral infrastructure. Nadine Chakar, Global Head of Digital Assets at DTCC, stated that interoperability is key to the scalability of digital markets. Nick Ducoff, General Manager of Institutional Business at the Solana Foundation, said that once integrated, tokenized securities can be settled and transferred like other assets on the blockchain.
