Wall Street's central clearing utility, DTCC, has selected Stellar (XLM) as the first public blockchain to connect to its upcoming tokenized securities settlement platform, with the integration expected to go live in the first half of 2027. DTCC oversees more than $114 trillion in assets, making this one of the most consequential institutional blockchain endorsements to date.

The partnership traces back nearly a decade to Securrency, the institutional tokenization firm DTCC acquired in 2023 and rebranded as DTCC Digital Assets. Securrency worked directly with Stellar developers to embed compliance-grade tooling — clawbacks, transfer restrictions, KYC controls and identity management — into the network's base layer.
