The DTCC processed $4.7 quadrillion in securities transactions in 2025 and holds $114 trillion in custody. It is now building a tokenization service with an industry working group of more than 80 firms.
Crypto researcher SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) has identified four distinct connections between the XRP Ledger and that network. Each one runs through a firm already operating inside the DTCC’s infrastructure.
Ripple Prime
Ripple acquired prime broker Hidden Road and combined it with its own licenses to form Ripple Prime. In its announcement, Ripple stated that “institutional clients in the United States can now trade XRP and RLUSD through Ripple Prime.”
Ripple Prime is also a member of the DTCC’s industry working group. That puts a firm that actively utilizes XRP directly inside the group designing the DTCC’s tokenization service.

Securrency
The DTCC acquired Securrency and renamed it DTCC Digital Assets, making it the clearing corporation’s official blockchain division. Securrency’s protocol was built to run on several ledgers, including Ethereum, Stellar, and Ripple.
The DTCC now owns technology designed to operate natively on the XRP Ledger. This is not a third-party partnership. It is an internal capability the DTCC controls directly.
Fireblocks
Fireblocks is one of the largest digital asset custody networks in the world. It sits on the same DTCC industry working group. Industry research from FXC Intelligence lists the Fireblocks network as supporting the XRP Ledger alongside the Ripple Payments Network.
Fireblocks brings XRP Ledger compatibility into the working group from the custody infrastructure side, covering the movement and safekeeping of digital assets at institutional scale.
Securitize
Ripple announced the first integration of RLUSD into the Securitize platform. Securitize is actively integrating with the XRP Ledger. On June 5, a DTCC notice to all participants renamed Theorem Fund Services as Securitize Fund Services, with trading under the Securitize name beginning June 8.
Securitize is now an official participant in the DTCC system. That makes it the fourth firm connecting XRP Ledger activity to the DTCC’s network.
Why This Matters for XRP
These four connections between Ripple and the DTCC do not exist in isolation. Ripple Prime utilizes XRP and sits inside the working group. DTCC Digital Assets owns a protocol built to run on the XRP Ledger. Fireblocks supports the XRP Ledger and participates in the same working group. Securitize integrates RLUSD, connects to the XRP Ledger, and holds official DTCC participant status.
Each path leads into a network that sits at the center of U.S. securities settlement. As the DTCC’s tokenization service moves toward its full launch, XRP has four active points of entry into that infrastructure.
