DTCC Picks BitGo, Targets October
The DTCC announced a partnership with BitGo to build infrastructure for tokenized US Treasuries and equities, with coverage reporting an October target for go-live, following the DTCC's earlier multi-institution blockchain trading trial. DTCC has said roughly $300 trillion of high-grade assets sit in the system with only about a tenth mobilised as collateral, per coverage — the efficiency case it makes for tokenisation.
DTCC Tokenisation: the collateral that finally moves
The number that explains this isn't October.
DTCC says about $300 trillion of top-grade assets sit in the system.
Only around a tenth is put to work as collateral.
The rest waits for settlement cycles to clear.
Tokenising a Treasury bond lets it back a loan the instant it's needed, then move again.
BlackRock, JPMorgan and Goldman were in the trial. BitGo now builds the rails.
When the plumbing behind every US trade starts issuing on-chain collateral, the state doesn't need to ban self-custody.
The safe, efficient default quietly becomes the pooled, permissioned one.
