The SEC allows DTCC to custody and recognize tokenized stocks and other RWA assets on the blockchain
PANews December 12 News, according to Bloomberg, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) granted permission in the form of a no-action letter to the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), allowing the company to custody and recognize tokenized stocks and other real-world assets (RWA) on the blockchain. This move enables DTCC to provide three years of tokenization services on a pre-approved blockchain. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce stated in a release, "Although the project is still in the pilot stage and subject to various operational restrictions, it marks a significant step forward in the market’s transition onto the chain." Michael Winnike, head of Global Strategy and Market Solutions for DTCC’s Clearing and Securities Services, said in an interview that after obtaining permission, DTCC will also extend its record-keeping work to the blockchain.
