One week from today, DTCC's tokenization service goes live with limited production trades on Canton Network, marking the first time DTC-custodied U.S. Treasury securities will be minted and traded on a public blockchain in a live production environment.
The July 13 soft launch is the result of a partnership announced in December 2025 between DTCC, Digital Asset, and the Canton Network. DTCC is using its ComposerX suite to enable the tokenization of Treasury securities held at the Depository Trust Company, with the scope expected to expand in the months that follow based on participant interest. Full rollout is planned for mid-October 2026.
DTCC also serves as co-chair of the Canton Foundation alongside Euroclear, giving it a direct role in the governance of the network on which its tokenization service runs.
For Canton, the go-live represents one of the most significant production deployments in the network's history. More than fifty institutions across banks, asset managers, custodians, and exchanges have been shaping the service through the Canton Industry Working Group.
