Tokenized securities keep the same ownership rights and investor protections as the traditional securities held at DTC.
The Depository Trust Company, a DTCC subsidiary, launched the DTCC Tokenization Service on Oct. 28, letting eligible users convert securities held at DTC into tokenized “digital twins” and send them to wallets of their choice, DTCC announced. The tokens keep the same ownership rights, investor protections and economic entitlements as the traditional securities.
The service runs on the Canton Network and DTCC’s private Besu network, with more blockchains planned for 2027. Twenty DTC participants have signed agreements, including J.P. Morgan, Citi, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Fidelity Investments, Citadel Securities and State Street. DTC holds more than $114 trillion in assets under custody.
Russell 1000 stocks, ETFs and Treasuries eligible
An SEC no-action letter covers tokenizing Russell 1000 constituents, ETFs tracking major indices and US Treasuries. “Today marks the culmination of years of work to bring tokenized securities into a regulated framework,” said DTCC Chief Executive Officer Frank La Salla.

Confidential ZEC trading goes live on Shield

Traders can now buy, sell, and provide liquidity for ZEC while keeping their identity, portfolio, and trading strategies confidential.
Shield has launched the first confidential onchain trading pair for ZEC, allowing users to manage their Zcash alongside other assets in its non-custodial wallet.
The new pair gives ZEC holders access to a confidential, non-custodial AMM where they can buy, sell, and provide liquidity without publishing their wallet activity to the market.
The launch expands Shield’s supported markets through its concentrated-liquidity AMM on Aleo. With this launch, Shield adds ZEC support to its non-custodial wallet, allowing users to manage the asset alongside their other supported holdings.
How Zcash protects transaction data
Zcash launched in October 2016 with support for transparent and shielded transactions.
Transparent addresses work much like Bitcoin addresses. Their balances and transaction histories are publicly visible. Shielded transactions encrypt the sender, recipient, and amount, while allowing the network to verify that each transaction follows its rules.
Zcash was the first widespread application of zkSNARKs, demonstrating that a decentralized network could verify transactions without publishing the underlying financial information.
ZEC on Shield
ZEC trades for USDCx in a concentrated-liquidity pool. Traders can move between ZEC and a dollar-denominated asset, and liquidity providers can supply capital within their chosen price ranges.
Shield Swap runs on Aleo, combining publicly verifiable market state with encrypted wallet records. Zero-knowledge proofs allow the network to verify transactions without exposing confidential wallet data.
Traders can inspect prices and available liquidity before confirming a swap. Liquidity providers can evaluate the pool before deciding where to allocate capital. Pool reserves, prices, trade sizes, and fees remain publicly verifiable.
Shield Swap protects your identity, portfolio, and trading strategies. Wallet balances, portfolio composition, and links between trades remain confidential.
Protecting ZEC portfolios
Trading on a transparent chain creates a permanent history associated with wallet addresses. Once an address is associated with a trader, its balances and transaction history become available to anyone following the market.
Fresh addresses can make analysis harder, but trade sizes, timing, and repeated behavior can still provide clues that connect activity. Over time, those connections can reveal how a trader builds a position, rebalances a portfolio, or moves capital between assets.
Shield Swap addresses this exposure. Public market data does not provide a direct view into each participant’s wallet and broader portfolio.
For ZEC holders, this means access to onchain trading without making their wallet history part of the market information available to competitors.
Providing liquidity for ZEC/USDCx
The ZEC/USDCx pool lets traders move between ZEC and a dollar-denominated asset. Liquidity providers choose the price ranges in which they want their capital to be available for trading and earn fees when their liquidity is used.
This gives providers control over how they allocate capital. A narrower range concentrates capital around selected prices. A wider range makes liquidity available across more prices. Providers can adjust their positions as market conditions and their objectives change.
ZEC in your Shield wallet
Shield’s non-custodial wallet now supports ZEC. Users can manage ZEC alongside other supported assets and connect their wallet to Shield to trade or provide liquidity.
A 1-click banner prompt moves assets into the wallet’s shielded balance so they are ready to trade. Wallet balances are held in encrypted records, and users retain control of their keys and funds.
Shield currently covers Aleo network fees for swaps. The liquidity-provider fee is included in the quote before the user approves the trade.
ZEC/USDCx trading is available on Shield. Early access is open to eligible organizations and individual market participants.
Visit swap.shield.fi to access the market or shield.fi/docs for documentation.
Shield is a technology provider. It is not a broker, dealer, or registered intermediary, and does not provide investment, legal, tax, or other advice of any kind. Participants act on their own account and remain responsible for their trading decisions and compliance with applicable law.

Ripple targets $900M revenue run rate by 2026 with institutional growth
Ripple expects to reach a $900 million annualized product revenue run rate by the end of 2026 as institutional adoption accelerates across its payments, custody, stablecoin and trading businesses. The company announced Wednesday that …
Ripple expects to reach a $900 million annualized product revenue run rate by the end of 2026 as institutional adoption accelerates across its payments, custody, stablecoin and trading businesses.
The company announced Wednesday that the number of customers and partners using multiple Ripple products has tripled this year, reflecting growing demand for integrated digital asset infrastructure.
Ripple said its platform now serves more than 1,700 institutions, corporations and enterprises, supported by over 85 regulatory licenses across global markets.
The company also reported that its products enabled more than $16 trillion in transactions during 2025, while Ripple Payments is expected to approach $150 billion in lifetime transaction volume by the end of this year.
The $900 million figure represents an expected annualized revenue pace at year end, rather than revenue already earned during 2026.
“As traditional and digital finance converge, market infrastructure is migrating to modern rails,” said Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse.
Garlinghouse said the company’s strategy focuses on connecting payments, custody, trading and tokenized assets through infrastructure that allows institutions to move capital around the clock.
Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin reaches $2.6B as OCC grants final bank approval
Ripple said its dollar backed stablecoin RLUSD has reached a market capitalization of approximately $2.6 billion, representing growth of more than 88% since the beginning of 2026.
The stablecoin is integrated across Ripple’s payments, treasury and institutional trading products and is available through major exchanges including Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, Robinhood and OKX.
The expansion follows Ripple’s final approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to establish Ripple National Trust Bank, adding federal supervision to the company’s stablecoin reserve management infrastructure.
The national trust bank is authorized to manage segregated reserves supporting RLUSD, act as collateral trustee for stablecoin holders and provide fiduciary digital asset custody services.
RLUSD will continue to be issued by Standard Custody & Trust Company, Ripple’s New York regulated subsidiary.
Ripple is also expanding the stablecoin’s role in payment settlement through partnerships with Mastercard and Cross River.

Meanwhile, its payments infrastructure supports more than 60 payout markets, allowing financial institutions to transfer funds, manage liquidity and settle transactions across currencies.
The company identified DBS, HSBC, FirstRand Bank and Standard Chartered among the financial institutions using its payment and custody infrastructure.
Ripple expands institutional trading through Hyperliquid and Kalshi
Beyond payments, Ripple is extending its institutional infrastructure into perpetual futures, prediction markets and traditional financial assets.
Ripple Prime, the company’s institutional brokerage platform, provides financing, clearing and settlement services across equities, foreign exchange, futures, fixed income and digital assets.
The company said its infrastructure supports transactions involving trading firms and venues including Jump Trading, Virtu, Hyperliquid, Kalshi and Rothera.
Ripple has also expanded support for real world asset perpetual swaps, allowing institutional clients to gain derivatives exposure to traditional financial instruments through its prime brokerage services.
The expansion is part of Ripple’s effort to connect conventional capital markets with digital asset trading infrastructure, particularly as more financial instruments become available for continuous trading.
Separately, Ripple Treasury recently introduced a corporate cash management platform featuring 24/7 Returns, a product designed to give businesses access to yield opportunities outside conventional banking hours.
The platform connects cash forecasting, liquidity management and payments while incorporating RLUSD, tokenized money market funds and institutional liquidity services.
Ripple Treasury serves more than 1,000 customers across 160 countries, including American Airlines and Trax.
Ripple strengthens XRP Ledger partnerships with BNY and Aviva
Ripple is also expanding institutional tokenization activity on the XRP Ledger through partnerships with asset managers, banks and financial technology companies.
The company recently expanded its collaboration with BNY to develop tokenized trade finance infrastructure, beginning with a supplier financing initiative involving C2FO.
Aviva Investors has also introduced a tokenized share class of its Sterling Liquidity Fund on XRP Ledger, adding to the institutional investment products available through the network.
Other initiatives involve Franklin Templeton and DBS, which are developing trading and lending solutions combining tokenized money market funds with RLUSD.
Ripple also highlighted its work with Privy, a Stripe subsidiary, to support programmable wallets for XRP Ledger payments, including transactions initiated by AI agents.
These partnerships form part of Ripple’s broader push to make the XRP Ledger a platform for regulated payments, tokenized securities and institutional financing.
The company announced the latest figures as it opened its annual Swell conference, where financial institutions, asset managers and blockchain developers are gathering to discuss digital asset adoption.
