#Gate广场五月交易分享 RWA Track Reaches a Milestone: Wall Street's "Central Brain" Enters the Scene

Beyond the resonance of policies and funding, the RWA (Real-World Asset Tokenization) field is ushering in a historic moment.
The undisputed "central backend" of the US financial market — the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) — announced a detailed roadmap for tokenized securities services in early May:
July 2026: Launch of a limited real trading pilot;
October 2026: Full commercial launch. The initial coverage includes Russell 1000 index components, major index ETFs, and US Treasury bonds. DTCC's subsidiary processed about $3 trillion in securities transactions in 2024, covering core categories such as US stocks, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, US Treasuries, and money market instruments. Every step toward tokenization has a profound impact on the entire capital market.
More than 50 traditional financial and crypto-native institutions have joined DTCC's industry working group, including BlackRock, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Charles Schwab, Nasdaq, New York Stock Exchange, as well as crypto-native players like Circle and Robinhood.
The establishment of this working group signifies that mainstream Wall Street financial institutions are jointly pushing to migrate core capital market processes such as custody, settlement, and clearing onto distributed ledger technology. Chainlink plays a key technical role — serving as the oracle and cross-chain interoperability layer within the DTCC architecture, responsible for transmitting key data across chains that can be verified by all participants. This is not a temporary collaboration.
Tracing the timeline reveals that Chainlink, as early as May 2024, collaborated with DTCC to complete the Smart NAV proof of concept, demonstrating the feasibility of cross-chain transmission of fund net asset values; in September 2025, they conducted a Swift blockchain interoperability trial; in December 2025, the SEC officially issued a no-action letter to DTCC's subsidiary DTC, granting a three-year legal basis for the pilot; in April 2026, Swift, DTCC, and Euroclear successfully completed cross-chain data sharing tests across three clearing systems. This three-year-long, tightly integrated chain of technology and policy is gradually pushing Wall Street's traditional asset infrastructure onto the blockchain.
