The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation is integrating Chainlink's Runtime Environment into its tokenized collateral management system, according to the DTCC's announcement. The platform is scheduled to roll out in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Chainlink's infrastructure will support pricing, valuation, margining, collateral optimization and settlement functions within the DTCC's settlement and collateral management layer. The integration extends the DTCC's tokenization work and builds on a 2024 Smart NAV pilot that included JPMorgan, BNY Mellon and Franklin Templeton as participants.
The DTCC, which operates the settlement systems for U.S. equities and fixed income markets, announced the Collateral AppChain platform in May as part of its effort to enable 24/7 collateral management. The Chainlink integration adds oracle and validation capabilities to the platform's existing infrastructure.
The tie-up represents one of the largest institutional blockchain deployments announced to date. The DTCC handles trillions in daily settlement volume, and the new platform is designed to reduce collateral requirements and automate margin and settlement processes across asset classes.
