Handling $114 trillion in custody and $4.7 quadrillion in securities transactions in 2025, the DTCC is currently developing a tokenization service alongside an industry working group consisting of more than 80 firms.
According to crypto researcher SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG), there are four separate connection points linking the XRP Ledger to this network. Every single route goes through a company already embedded within the infrastructure of the DTCC.
Ripple Prime
By purchasing prime broker Hidden Road and merging it with its existing licenses, Ripple created Ripple Prime. When launching the service, Ripple highlighted that “institutional clients in the United States can now trade XRP and RLUSD through Ripple Prime.”
Additionally, Ripple Prime belongs to the DTCC’s industry working group. This places an entity that actively works with XRP right inside the team tasked with building the DTCC tokenization service.

Securrency
Following its acquisition by the DTCC, Securrency was rebranded as DTCC Digital Assets, establishing it as the official blockchain division of the clearing corporation. The underlying protocol of Securrency was originally engineered to function across multiple ledgers, including Ripple, Stellar, and Ethereum.
As a result, the DTCC now possesses proprietary technology built to operate natively on the XRP Ledger. This represents an internal asset directly managed by the DTCC rather than an external partnership.
Fireblocks
As one of the world’s premier digital asset custody networks, Fireblocks also maintains a seat on the DTCC industry working group. Data from FXC Intelligence indicates that the Fireblocks network provides support for the XRP Ledger alongside the Ripple Payments Network.
From a custody standpoint, Fireblocks introduces XRP Ledger compatibility to the working group, addressing institutional-grade safekeeping and asset transfer.
Securitize
Ripple announced the initial incorporation of RLUSD into the Securitize platform, which is currently integrating with the XRP Ledger. A DTCC notice issued to participants on June 5 officially changed the name of Theorem Fund Services to Securitize Fund Services, with trading under the Securitize moniker launching on June 8.
Because Securitize is now a recognized participant in the DTCC ecosystem, it serves as the fourth bridge connecting XRP Ledger activity directly to the DTCC network.
Why This Matters for XRP
These four linkages between Ripple and the DTCC operate in tandem rather than isolation. Ripple Prime incorporates XRP while holding a spot on the working group. DTCC Digital Assets controls a ledger protocol designed for the XRP Ledger. Fireblocks aids the XRP Ledger and joins the same collaborative group. Meanwhile, Securitize brings RLUSD support, links to the XRP Ledger, and maintains official DTCC participant credentials.
Every single path converges on a network that anchors U.S. securities settlement. With the DTCC tokenization service progressing toward its formal rollout, XRP possesses four operational gateways into that financial architecture.
