DTCC taps Chainlink oracles for 24/7 tokenized collateral
DTCC will integrate Chainlink oracles into its Collateral AppChain to enable near-real-time pricing, valuation and 24/7 settlement of tokenized collateral by Q4 2026.
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation announced it will integrate Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network into its Collateral AppChain to provide near-real-time pricing, valuation and continuous settlement for tokenized collateral. The program targets a phased rollout with an operating capability in the fourth quarter of 2026.
The integration is intended to automate margining, collateral optimization and settlement across markets and blockchains. The Collateral AppChain is being developed as shared infrastructure for custodians, triparty agents and collateral managers to connect collateral agreements with live pricing and movement data so smart contracts can execute with verified inputs.
Chainlink will feed the platform with external market prices and other real-world data. DTCC currently holds custody of about $114 trillion in liquid assets, including stocks and exchange-traded funds.
More than 50 firms from traditional finance and digital-asset services are participating in the program, including BlackRock, Circle, Anchorage Digital and Fireblocks. DTCC plans a pilot for tokenized securities trading in July ahead of a targeted October launch for that effort.
Research cited by DTCC found that 52% of firms expect to manage live tokenized collateral by the end of 2026, and 70% of investment banks, custodians, prime brokers and asset managers reported daily settlement matching and delivery problems linked to manual processes. Onchain data indicate the distributed onchain value of tokenized stocks rose from about $511 million a year ago to roughly $1.4 billion today.
DTCC expects the integration to reduce manual reconciliation and speed settlement matching by linking contractual terms to provable price feeds and event data across multiple blockchains and markets. The firm says automated data flows and settlement triggers could shorten the time between valuation and asset movement and support near-real-time collateral workflows.
