DTCC is preparing to road‑test its newly created Digital Asset Solutions business with the launch of a senior‑level Digital Asset Solutions Advisory Council in Q2 2026, marking a shift from early experimentation toward business‑driven product development and client readiness for tokenisation.
The new council will bring together senior leaders from client firms to shape business requirements, guide product prioritisation and assess industry readiness for DTCC’s emerging tokenisation services. It will focus specifically on offerings tied to DTCC Digital Asset Solutions, the business line formed after regulators authorised DTCC in December to tokenise real‑world assets held at DTC.
DTCC Digital Asset Solutions will sit within Clearing & Securities Services, under the Equities portfolio led by Val Wotton, with Tom Sullivan appointed to lead the unit. Its mandate: develop tokenisation capabilities directly connected to DTCC’s existing infrastructure and risk framework, while leveraging technology from DTCC Digital Assets—the former Securrency team that continues to build Web3‑native platforms such as ComposerX, LaunchPad and Collateral AppChain.
As part of the transition, the Early User Working Group, created last year to explore initial use cases, will continue operating but will be folded into the new advisory council ahead of its first meeting in late April.
