Tether Gold tops $3.3B as demand for bullion-backed tokens rises

The Depository Trust &amp; Clearing Corporation (DTCC) said Monday it has reached 
new progress and clarified timelines for delivering its tokenization 
service—an initiative aimed at bringing tokenized real-world securities into 
the same infrastructure used by the US capital markets today. Two-Phase 
Rollout For Tokenized RWAs DTCC said the service will move in two phases. It 
plans to facilitate initial, limited “production” trades of real-world assets 
(RWAs) that have been tokenized using the tokenization service in July 2026. 
After that trial period, DTCC expects to launch the service more fully in 
October of this year. DTCC’s tokenization service, as described in its 
release, is designed for tokenizing real-world, DTC-custodied assets while 
preserving the core rights that investors expect from securities held in 
traditional form. Related Reading: This Signal Has Predicted Every Bitcoin 
Bottom, Here’s What It’s Saying Now The company said tokenized assets 
supported through the Depository Trust Company (DTC) would provide the “same 
entitlements, investor protections and ownership rights” as conventional 
custody arrangements. DTCC further emphasized that the service is built on 
DTC’s existing resilience and accountability, noting that DTC already 
custodies assets worth more than $114 trillion. In remarks accompanying the 
announcement, Brian Steele, DTCC Managing Director and President for Clearing 
&amp; Securities Services, said the goal is to provide “systemic scale where deep 
liquidity already lives.” Steele also framed the effort as a way to develop 
the service “in lockstep” with both current industry needs and expected future 
requirements—while the market collectively builds what DTCC calls “a digital 
ecosystem.” How The DTCC Plans To Bridge TradFi And DeFi DTCC’s digital assets 
leadership also tied the initiative to broader infrastructure goals. Nadine 
Chakar, DTCC Managing Director and Global Head of Digital Assets, said 
tokenization is a “critical step” toward building digital infrastructure for 
the future. She added that DTCC aims to stay at the forefront of innovation by 
supporting a scalable, interoperable, and risk-managed Web3 environment, one 
that uses digital ledger technology to deliver real value to the broader 
industry. DTCC said the firms involved in the Industry Working Group represent 
a wide cross-section of roles, including custodians, asset managers, brokers, 
trading venues, application providers, and back-office service providers. The 
participating firms include Anchorage Digital, Bank of America, BitGo Bank, 
BlackRock, and Ripple Prime, as well as over 50 other firms from the 
traditional finance (TradFi) sector and the crypto industry. Related Reading:

DTCC President and CEO Frank La Salla described the project as a step toward 
bridging TradFi and decentralized finance (DeFi) through structured, ongoing 
dialogue. La Salla said DTCC continues to convene a broad group of industry 
leaders to support digital assets adoption and innovation, and that the 
organization sees its tokenization vision as coming to fruition through both 
launching the service and “successfully bridging TradFi and DeFi.” Featured
