The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has introduced the DTCC Digital Launchpad, an open ecosystem for market participants and technology providers to pilot solutions for collateral management. Following a successful proof-of-concept led by the Japan Securities Clearing Corporation (JSCC), the DTCC has invited participants to develop initiatives addressing critical pain points in collateral management. Results are expected to be shared in the first quarter of 2025. Clients will have access to the DTCC Digital Assets suite within the sandbox, enabling them to explore use cases without significant investment. DTCC aims to challenge the siloed approach in the digital asset industry. The proof-of-concept project showcased the potential of digital technology in improving speed and transparency in collateral management. JSCC successfully minted tokens using DTCC infrastructure, integrating margin calls and asset transfers through smart contracts. In collaboration with Digital Asset, DTCC also completed a pilot project on the Canton Network, processing $3 quadrillion in securities transactions in 2023.
