DTCC Seeks High-Performance L1 Blockchain Partnership to Drive Corporate Actions Onchain

According to CoinDesk, Frank La Salla, CEO of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), stated at Consensus 2026 in Miami that DTCC is collaborating with multiple high-performance Layer-1 blockchain networks to explore on-chain processing of corporate actions such as dividend payments and tender offers. DTCC processes approximately $20 trillion in U.S. securities transactions daily; La Salla noted that existing blockchain networks still face throughput bottlenecks: “We process millions of dividend payments each day—we must rely on high-performance L1s to achieve this.” DTCC plans to launch testing of its tokenized securities platform in July this year and roll it out fully in October.
