DTCC Launches Tokenization Pilot for Real-World Assets Amid Rising Institutional Interest

Based on Cryptofrontnews, DTCC has launched a tokenization pilot aimed at unifying real-world asset liquidity as institutional interest in blockchain grows. CEO Frank La Salla emphasized DTCC’s role as a central facilitator to prevent fragmented tokenization efforts across institutions. Tokenized assets can be deployed across multiple blockchains, offering flexibility while maintaining market structure and custody. DTCC plans to expand its tokenization work as demand accelerates, with a focus on financial assets. La Salla noted that clearer regulatory boundaries have driven recent institutional efforts to tokenize real-world assets, including financial instruments and physical items. The firm aims to maintain unified liquidity by centralizing tokenization at the foundational level. Once completed, institutions can deploy tokenized assets across different blockchains, with DTCC acting as an enabler rather than a prescriber.
