🤝 The DTCC Made a Purchase: Securrency

Major congratulations are in order for a fellow tokenization company we’ve known for a while now, Securrency, which has just received a signed definitive agreement for acquisition from the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC)! 👏

For those not familiar, the DTCC is the premier post-trade infrastructure for clearing, settlement, asset servicing, transaction processing, trade reporting and data services across asset classes. To put them into perspective in 2022, DTCC’s subsidiaries processed securities transactions valued at U.S. $2.5 quadrillion and its depository subsidiary provided custody and asset servicing for securities issues from over 150 countries and territories valued at U.S. $72 trillion… those are some hefty numbers!

So now that we understand the magnitude of the DTCC, what does this mean for Securrency and where will this acquisition take tokenization?

Well for starters, Securrency will be rebranded to be DTCC Digital Assets and Securrency CEO Nadine Chakar will join the DTCC as Managing Director, Global Head of DTCC Digital Assets. She’s not alone though, other executives and about 100 Securrency staff will also be joining the DTCC.

In terms of what it means for future initiatives, the DTCC carries weight both from how involved they are in the financial system and as a beacon of compliance. Now having Securrency’s technology under their roof, one can expect the DTCC to accelerate tokenization adoption by enhancing their existing services and licensing it to push risk-averse institutions over the hump via their credibility.

Keyword: Interoperability.

This was a theme brought up time and time again during the TokenizeThis conference, starting with the “Solving the Liquidity Problem” panel. The idea being that we can’t fragment liquidity whether by marketplace, by blockchain, or otherwise if we want this industry to grow. DTCC is going to play a crucial role in making this happen and the Securrency acquisition is going to help accelerate that. Congratulations to the teams on both sides!

👋 Welcome to a New Entrant: 21x and Polygon

We’re excited to hear another marketplace is entering the tokenization space: 21X. Founded earlier this year, 21X is a part of 21 Finance which started back in 2017 offering digital and regulated software solutions. As their own platform, 21X is going to be regulated by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) via the EU DLT Pilot Regime (DLTR).

In the meantime, they’re building market infrastructure for security tokens on Polygon PoS which will enable smart contract-based trading and settlement of tokenized stocks, bonds, and fund instruments. This means that 21X and Polygon will be able to take full advantage of blockchain technology thanks to DLTR, therefore eliminating the need for intermediaries which hasn’t always been available due to regulatory uncertainty.

What does Polygon’s track record look like?

They’ve been working with various groups across the tokenization industry including Securitize, Tokeny, Taurus, INX, and others with issuances including Hamilton Lane alternative investment products, bonds from ABN AMRO and Siemens, and Franklin Templeton’s BENJI token which started on Stellar. One of Polygon’s value propositions as an L2 is to enable security tokens to easily interact with the DeFi ecosystem.

Congratulations to 21X, I wish them luck in passing any pending regulatory checks to become fully regulated and applaud Polygon Labs for enabling them to continue their on-chain journey with their capabilities!
