The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation—which processed $4.7 quadrillion in securities transactions in 2025—announced it will integrate Chainlink's Runtime Environment into its Collateral AppChain platform, enabling near real-time, 24/7 collateral management across global markets and blockchains. The platform is expected to go live in Q4 2026.

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), the firm that serves as the backbone of American securities markets, announced Tuesday it will integrate Chainlink's technology into its Collateral AppChain platform. The integration aims to bring Wall Street's notoriously slow back-office collateral systems into the 24/7 era.
The deal extends a 2024 pilot called Smart NAV, in which DTCC and Chainlink tested bringing mutual fund NAV data onto blockchains with JPMorgan, Franklin Templeton, and BNY Mellon participating. This is DTCC's most ambitious blockchain integration to date.
DTCC also recently said more than 50 companies have joined a working group for its separate tokenized services platform, with a limited live-transaction test planned for July and full launch in October.
DTCC isn't a crypto company. It's the plumbing that makes U.S. securities markets work. When the organization responsible for settling virtually every U.S. stock trade decides to build production blockchain infrastructure with Chainlink, it signals that tokenized collateral management has moved from pilot curiosity to institutional mandate.
The scale is staggering: $4.7 quadrillion in annual processed transactions means even marginal efficiency gains translate to billions in reduced friction and counterparty risk.
The OCC granted Circle final approval to establish Circle National Trust, a federally supervised national trust bank, placing the world's second-largest stablecoin (USDC, $73.2B) under direct federal banking oversight — with reserve management as a planned future capability.

SWIFT announced its blockchain-based shared ledger is ready for initial use, with 17 Tier 1 banks across six continents preparing to pilot live tokenized deposit transactions.
