DTCC (Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) CEO Frank La Salla stated that the company is collaborating with multiple high-performance Layer 1 blockchains to explore migrating complex corporate actions such as dividend payments and tender offers to on-chain processing.

La Salla mentioned at the Consensus 2026 conference that most blockchains still lack efficiency in handling corporate actions, while DTCC needs to process millions of dividend payments daily, thus requiring support from Layer 1 networks with high throughput and stability. DTCC is one of the core infrastructures of the U.S. capital markets, handling approximately $20 trillion in U.S. Treasury and securities transactions daily. The organization plans to launch a tokenized securities platform test in July this year, aiming for a broader rollout in October.

La Salla believes that "tokenized collateral" could become the first large-scale institutional application scenario for blockchain. In the future, Asian institutions could even access dollar liquidity in real-time through on-chain collateral during New York's Sunday hours. However, he also warned that blockchain still faces issues such as scalability, liquidity fragmentation, and risk management, especially the efficiency of "net settlement" in traditional financial systems, which remains difficult to replicate in a decentralized environment.
