DTCC Launches Service to Mint Tokenized Real-World Assets

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has launched a service to mint digital representations of real-world assets, bringing a central U.S. securities-market infrastructure provider into tokenization. The service is live and enables the minting of tokenized representations of real-world assets. Those securities are intended to retain the ownership rights and investor protections associated with traditional shares, linking the digital format with protections established for conventional share ownership. DTCC provides clearing and settlement services for securities transactions, placing its new offering within infrastructure that supports U.S. markets.
