DTCC Taps Chainlink for Real-Time Tokenized Collateral Network
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) is integrating Chainlink's infrastructure into its Collateral AppChain platform to support near real-time settlement. The launch of this project is scheduled for Q4 2026.
DTCC's Collateral AppChain will use Chainlink's Runtime Environment as the automation layer, handling tasks such as eligibility checks, asset pricing, margining, collateral optimization, and settlement workflows. This integration also adopts Chainlink's data standard to pull pricing and collateral agreement data from across markets into a unified on-chain environment.
The Collateral AppChain is designed to address operational gaps in tokenized collateral management, particularly manual processes that lead to daily settlement matching and delivery failures reported by 70% of investment banks, custodians, prime brokers, and asset managers. The goal is to enable 24/7 near real-time collateral management across global markets and blockchains.
