The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has announced that its digitally native Collateral AppChain platform — designed as shared infrastructure to modernise collateral mobility and improve capital efficiency — will use the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) and Chainlink’s data standard to support key orchestration, data and automation capabilities.
Chainlink will be integrated into DTCC’s Collateral AppChain to enable the pairing of asset prices, valuations and movement with the aim of overhauling how market risk is managed.
CRE is built to operate at institutional scale and provides access to a data and orchestration layer, unlocking automated workflows for the Collateral AppChain’s advanced eligibility, valuation, margining, collateral optimisation, settlement, and related post-trade processes.
As a shared infrastructure platform for collateral, DTCC’s Collateral AppChain is designed to provide a common, interoperable foundation across market participants including collateral providers, receivers and managers, along with triparty agents and custodians.
DTCC’s Collateral AppChain was publicly unveiled during DTCC’s Great Collateral Experiment and is expected to go live in Q4 2026.
Nadine Chakar, DTCC managing director, global head of digital assets. “By using tokenisation and distributed ledger technology to modernise collateral mobility, our goal is to enable 24/7, near-real-time collateral management across global markets and blockchains.”
“The integration of Chainlink’s CRE and data standard will allow us to deliver a unified onchain environment, bringing onchain asset prices, valuations and other collateral agreement data to support this transformative industry initiative.”
Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink, adds: “It has been great working with DTCC, and I am very excited to see DTCC’s Collateral AppChain progressing closer to production to bring the full value of smart contracts to the traditional finance industry.”
