Four separate paths now link XRP infrastructure to the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation. The connections aren’t new speculation, according to Crypto researcher SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG).
SMQKE highlighted all four in a recent post, tracing each one back to public records, company announcements, and a 2023 acquisition that’s been sitting in plain sight.
Sure.
And this is for anyone else still struggling to grasp the concept of XRP being utilized by the DTCC.
Ripple Prime, which directly utilizes XRP, is a direct contributor to DTCC’s tokenization platform.
But let’s say that’s not convincing enough for you as an XRP holder,… https://t.co/2ruSFjjeBd pic.twitter.com/R6NYlEPfhy

The Four Connections
Ripple Prime sits directly within DTCC’s tokenization working group. Fireblocks and Securitize, both DTCC participants, run on infrastructure that includes the XRP Ledger. Then there’s Securrency, the tokenization firm DTCC acquired in December 2023.
Securrency’s own description of its technology states its protocol “can be utilized on the Ethereum, Stellar, Ripple, EOS and other distributed ledgers.” That’s the same pathway Stellar used to gain exposure to DTCC’s systems, according to SMQKE. He argues XRP has the same entry point.
What the Documents Show
The images supporting this argument include a table from FXC Intelligence listing major stablecoin networks. Fireblocks Network appears on it, launched in 2018, supporting more than 20 stablecoins across Stellar, XRPL, and EVM-compatible chains. Ripple Payments Network appears too, running on the XRP Ledger and supporting RLUSD across 55+ fiat currencies.
A separate screenshot from Ripple’s own site details a Securitize integration. The text confirms Securitize “is also integrating with the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to expand access and bring new utility to the XRPL ecosystem.” Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo called the RLUSD partnership “a major step forward in automating liquidity for tokenized assets.”
The Ledger Insights article on the Securrency deal is dated December 11, 2023. It confirms DTCC closed the acquisition and folded Securrency into DTCC Digital Assets, dropping the original brand entirely.
Building the Case
SMQKE’s argument rests on layering these facts together. Ripple Prime is in the working group. Fireblocks and Securitize both support XRPL, and both work with DTCC. Securrency, now owned by DTCC, was built to run on Ripple’s ledger among others. Together, they form what SMQKE calls “multiple entry points for XRP to the DTCC.”

What This Means for XRP Holders
Institutional plumbing tends to move slowly, and any documented proximity to a firm as large as DTCC carries weight in the community’s eyes. Whether this translates into price movement is a separate question.
Tokenization infrastructure adoption and asset price are not the same metric, and nothing in these documents specifies transaction volume, revenue, or timeline for XRP’s role expanding within DTCC’s systems.
What’s clear is that the paper trail exists. Ripple Prime, Fireblocks, Securitize, and Securrency all show up in DTCC-adjacent records. How much that trail actually moves the needle for XRP remains an open question the market will answer on its own very soon.
