DTCC Plans Solana Expansion as Wallet Rules Limit Access

Plans by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation’s (DTCC) to bring tokenized securities to Solana could attract more traditional financial institutions to the blockchain, but regulatory restrictions may limit the impact on the network, according to analysts.

DTCC announced Thursday that it plans to connect its tokenization service to Solana in the second half of 2027. The move would allow certain securities held by its Depository Trust Company (DTC) subsidiary to be turned into digital tokens on the network.

Solana is a blockchain known for its fast transactions and low fees, making it popular for crypto trading, especially memecoins. The network had about $4.94 billion in total value locked (TVL) as of Nov. 12, according to DefiLlama.

Experts say the move could help Solana attract more activity beyond just memecoins, but it’s not clear how much new capital and transaction volume it could bring to the network. What’s more, current US regulatory rules still limit who can hold and transfer the tokenized assets.

Memes paved the way

Alex Lin, founding partner at venture capital firm Reforge, said Solana’s history of handling large amounts of memecoin trading may have helped show that the network can support traditional financial activity.
