DTCC Chooses Canton Network to Mint Tokenized U.S. Treasuries in 2026 Pilot

A conditional SEC no-action letter clears a three-year pilot set to begin with a controlled MVP in the first half of 2026.

Overview

  • DTCC will use Digital Asset’s Canton Network to create tokenized representations of a subset of U.S. Treasuries custodied at DTC.
  • The SEC recently issued a no-action letter authorizing a limited, three-year production pilot for tokenizing DTC-custodied assets under specified controls.
  • An MVP is targeted for the first half of 2026 in a controlled production environment, with scope to expand based on client demand.
  • DTCC will join Euroclear as co-chair of the Canton Foundation, taking a leadership role in the network’s governance and standards setting.
  • Canton’s architecture supports selective visibility to preserve institutional privacy and compliance, and DTCC says a list of other supported networks will be provided later within the pilot framework.
