DTCC Plans Solana Expansion as Wallet Rules Limit Access
DTCC plans to connect its tokenization service to Solana in the second half of 2027, allowing some securities held by its DTC subsidiary to be issued as tokens. Analysts say the move could broaden Solana’s institutional use, but its impact depends on banks and other firms actively trading and using the assets. Current SEC restrictions require registered wallets and limit transfers to eligible participants, keeping the securities out of permissionless retail and DeFi markets. Solana already has growing tokenized-stock activity, with reported trading volume of $4.9 billion in the first half of 2026 and more than one million accounts holding tokenized stocks by late September. Yet overall network activity has recently declined, and tokenized securities may not materially boost transactions or demand for SOL unless they circulate, serve as collateral or otherwise see active use.
