On October 29, 2026, DTCC launched its U.S. securities tokenization service, with Alpaca among the 20 participating institutions that signed on at launch. The service can convert custodial U.S. stocks, ETFs, and U.S. Treasury securities into tokens and supports redemption. Tokenized stocks circulated through the Alpaca network are issued by third parties and generally provide economic exposure, but do not include voting or dividend rights; DTCC, meanwhile, states that its tokens retain ownership of and investor protections for the underlying securities. The service’s initial assets include Russell 1000 constituents, major index ETFs, and U.S. Treasury securities. DTCC plans to add participants on a rolling basis and connect to more blockchain networks in 2027.
