The Depository Trust Company, DTCC’s securities depository, launched its Tokenization Service on Oct. 28, giving eligible institutions a way to move tokenized securities over weekends.
DTCC said 20 Participants had signed access agreements at launch, and the service’s launch scope allows conversion orders through its interface and API from 2 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern time on business days, targeting completion within 15 minutes.
Already-tokenized securities can move 24/7 between DTC-registered wallets on the same blockchain.
The practical inference is that a firm relying on conversion for a weekend transfer needs to prepare its token inventory during a preceding business-day window.
Participation is voluntary and limited to eligible DTC Participants. The launch scope registers select third-party wallets and includes transfer restrictions, so a weekend plan also depends on the receiving wallet being registered.
DTCC’s live product page lists 34 securities available to tokenize at launch. Eligible classes cover select Russell 1000 equities, exchange-traded funds and US Treasuries.
