According to CoinMeta, the U.S. Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (CDTC) announced plans to integrate its tokenization services into the Ethereum network, allowing eligible custodied assets to be converted into token form, with expected launch in the second half of 2027. Launched on October 28th, this integration is an extension of the company's multi-chain strategy. CDTC stated that after the integration, tokenized assets will retain the same investor protections, ownership rights, and regulatory safeguards as traditional securities, while also improving liquidity, collateral liquidity, and capital efficiency. The CEO of CDTC expressed that this move is about bringing regulated tokenized securities onto another mainstream blockchain ecosystem. The President of Clearing and Securities Services said that the service is a secure, interoperable, and market-neutral infrastructure. The Global Head of Digital Assets mentioned that interoperability is key to the scalability of digital markets. The General Manager of Institutional Business at the foundation stated that once integrated, tokenized securities can be settled and traded just like other assets on the blockchain.
