The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has officially confirmed the transition to the next stage in the development of its tokenization service. Ripple Prime has joined the working group shaping the future financial infrastructure, standing alongside BlackRock, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs.
The key point here is not the mere participation of another fintech company, but the composition of the coalition. DTCC, which processes the vast majority of transactions in the U.S. stock market, is effectively creating a unified communication protocol between traditional finance (TradFi) and digital ecosystems (DeFi).
Why DTCC Put Ripple Prime in the Same Room as BlackRock
For Ripple Prime, this participation became a logical continuation of its “April rally” of recognition. The previously obtained BBB investment rating from Kroll, described as “medium quality with strong support”, may have become a signal for conservative players such as BofA and J.P. Morgan that technological partnership is acceptable.
Despite the high-profile names among the participants, totaling more than 50 firms, DTCC maintains a cautious tone. This is not about the immediate replacement of traditional equities with tokens, but about building “new rails” for post-trade operations.

For supporters of the XRP ecosystem, this marks a transition from the “gray zone” into the top tier. Ripple Prime here acts not as a “bank killer”, but as a necessary adapter. The implementation of The Depository Trust Company (DTC) tokenization service will allow assets to be transferred with blockchain transparency while preserving the legal protections institutional players rely on.
According to DTCC’s roadmap, the coming months will be dedicated to testing interactions among group participants. Given that Ripple Prime has already integrated tools for institutional clients through Hyperliquid and BTC options on Bullish, XRPL may become one of the first testing grounds for new liquidity standards.
