“DTCC is the backbone of global capital markets,” explains Stellar director.
The price of the stellar cryptocurrency (XLM) has risen 11% after hearing this news.
This May 27, 2026, Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), a leading post-trade market infrastructure company for the US market, announced plans to enable tokenization of assets on the Stellar network.
He releaselaunched in conjunction with the Stellar Development Foundation (SDC), mentions that this alliance is carried out “after receiving a no-objection letter from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in December 2025, which authorizes DTCC to implement and operate a new service to tokenize real-world assets.”
In this way, according to the statement, market participants will be able to “leverage traditional assets in a digital ecosystem, with opportunities for faster settlement, greater asset mobility, extended trading hours, and lower cost and risk.”
The assets tokenized by DTCC, as reported by the organizations, will have the same protections, rights and guarantees for investors as traditionally held securities.
Both entities anticipate that tokenized assets will be available on the Stellar network during the first half of 2027.
“DTCC is the backbone of global capital markets, and integrating its tokenization service with Stellar connects public blockchain networks with regulated market infrastructure,” said Denelle Dixon, CEO of the Stellar Development Foundation. Dixon adds:
Stellar’s compliance-focused architecture, open infrastructure, and risk management capabilities are aligned with market demands and expectations. Our network was created for this moment: we have always believed that the usefulness of blockchain for finance lies in being the rail that institutional markets can trust.
Denelle Dixon, CEO of the Stellar Development Foundation.
Among the assets that could be tokenized – always in accordance with the statement referred to here – are company stocks, bills, Treasury bonds and indices such as the Russell 1000.
After knowing this news, the price of stellar (XLM), native cryptocurrency of the homonymous network, reacted upwards:
The XLM cryptocurrency is trading at $0.158 at the time of this publication and has a price rise of 11% in the last 7 days.
It is worth clarifying that Stellar is not the only decentralized network with cryptocurrencies that is forging alliances with DTCC. As reported by CriptoNoticias on May 12, the DTCC announced an agreement with Chainlink, a decentralized oracle platform, in order to “modernize the mobility of collateral and improve capital efficiency.”
