The Depository Trust Company (DTC), a central securities depository under DTCC, has passed US$100 trillion in assets under custody, announced DTCC in a press release. The increase reflects steady growth in U.S. market capitalisation and continued demand for asset servicing in traditional securities.
Between 2020 and 2025, DTC’s total assets under custody rose from US$73.5 trillion to US$100.3 trillion, an increase of 37 per cent. Equities accounted for the largest share, growing 49 per cent to US$74.1 trillion. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) doubled in value to US$11 trillion, while money market instruments rose 28 per cent to US$4.1 trillion.
Testament
“This milestone is more than a measure of scale; it’s testament to the trust the financial industry places in DTCC and our responsibility to soundness and safety,” said Frank La Salla, DTCC President and CEO.
Currently, DTC provides custody and servicing for over 1.44 million securities issues from more than 170 countries and territories. It operates as a critical infrastructure for financial institutions, custodian banks, and brokers, supporting the efficiency and stability of U.S. markets.
