What makes a tokenized share the same share?
In July, DTCC ran live trades in tokenized securities on two networks, its own private Besu network and the public Canton Network. Securitize puts a security entitlement on Solana. Three designs, and one question. When a share lives on several ledgers, what stays the same?
In this episode: how a share is held at DTC, what tokenizing adds, where the Besu, Solana and Canton designs part ways, one figure read carefully, and Canton's direction in tokenized securities. When the episode was recorded, DTCC's service launch was announced for October 2026 and not yet confirmed.
