DTCC Picks Chainlink to Power Tokenized Collateral Platform

The decision lays a shared data layer meant to automate collateral flows across markets.

Overview

  • DTCC said it will integrate Chainlink’s Runtime Environment and data standard into its Besu-based Collateral AppChain for tokenized collateral.
  • Chainlink will supply on-chain smart contracts with asset prices and valuations and will coordinate checks on eligibility, margining, optimization, and settlement.
  • DTCC says the setup aims to enable near real-time, 24/7 collateral movement and to cut delays that leave assets trapped, which could help firms meet margin needs faster.
  • The company is working with more than 50 firms, with limited production trades planned for July and a broader launch targeted for October in Q4 2026.
  • The collaboration builds on the 2024 Smart NAV pilot with JPMorgan, Franklin Templeton, and BNY Mellon, and it comes from an operator that processed $4.7 quadrillion in 2025.
