Morgan Stanley said it is among the first banks to place U.S. stocks and Treasuries on a blockchain, following the Oct. 28 launch of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation’s Tokenization Service (DTS). The move marks a step in bringing traditional securities onto distributed-ledger rails, with the bank positioning itself alongside DTCC’s new infrastructure rather than a standalone chain. The announcement did not disclose token prices, TVL, volumes, market cap or funding figures. It matters because tokenized U.S. equities and Treasuries could broaden blockchain-based settlement and collateral use by major institutions. What to watch next is uptake of DTCC’s DTS by other banks and whether Morgan Stanley expands the range of tokenized assets beyond stocks and Treasuries.
