A Shocking Repricing Is Coming For XLM, ONDO, XRP and LINK

Added: 2026-05-30

[00:00:00]Something big happened in the month of May and most crypto investors completely missed the bigger picture. Over the course of about 23 days or so, the organization at the center of Wall Street announced three major components to asset tokenization. First and foremost, at the beginning of the month, a road map for tokenized securities.

[00:00:24]Then we had a partnership with Chainlink Infrastructure. And lastly, a blockchain integration with Stellar Lumens. We have all of those news for you guys today.

[00:00:36]and we're going to break it down in today's video because it includes the big companies like Black Rockck, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, we have the NASDAQ, the New York Stock Exchange, and if we're taking a look at crypto companies, well, we have XRP, Ripple, we have Onondo, we have Circle, we have Chainlink, we of course have Stellar Lumens, and at a first glance, these announcements, you know, they look plain, but if you combine the dots, the bigger story is absolutely massive. and it represents trillions of dollars and tokenization for the future.

[00:01:33]ATCC is actually the sole provider of post trade infrastructure in the United States. So, we're the only CSV. We settle about four quadrillion dollars in trades um every year.

[00:01:47]Does anybody know how many zeros are there in the quadrillion?

[00:01:51]15. I had to look it up.

[00:01:54]We start with the juicy stuff. We have the DTCC basically saying that they settle over four quadrillion dollars worth of trades on an annual basis. They are the only infrastructure for postrading in the United States. And when we are talking about asset tokenization involving the DTCC as well as Stellar Lumens and other blockchains, you get the thinking that this is going to be absolutely massive. if in fact it does happen. Of course, this is not set in stone. It's not going to happen tomorrow. It's likely not going to happen in the next few months. It is going to take time and likely years before this happens. But we have time to prepare for all of this right now. And by the end of this video, you're going to understand exactly how we got here and what does this all mean. So, if we kick things off, first and foremost, we need to look at what in fact what is this DETCC? If you haven't seen this or heard this acronym before, it is the depository trust and clearing corporation, which basically acts as the central backbone of the global financial markets. It automates, centralizes, standardizes, and settles, as we just heard, quadrillions of dollars every single year, making sure everything is safe and stored legitimized through trades on any of these Wall Street global markets. So, it's a handful, it's a mouthful, and there's a ton of money involved. And if we take a look at what the DTCC actually does, well, it is quite simple. They are the middleman between the buyer and the seller. If you are buying, selling stocks, commodities, bonds through a broker, the DTCC is involved and you don't even know. So what typically happens if we take a look at this infographic as basic as it is if you buy an asset if you sell an asset this is basically an agreement between someone buying and someone selling and the DTCC confirms the trade details and manages the obligation. As you know the person selling the stock would get money back and the person buying the stock would essentially get shares for the money they use to buy those shares. Now the DTCC acts as the settlement between these two parties and the transfer of securities is made as the funds are received and as the shares are also received. To make things even more simple, let me give you guys this analogy. Let's go back to high school. I have a Pokemon card I want to sell. I want to give it to my friend and my friend is going to give me money, but I don't trust my friend to actually give me the money in time. So what we do instead is we go to our teacher. I basically give the Pokemon card to my teacher. My friend gives his money to the teacher. Once the teacher has both the card and the money, the transfer is made. And that is exactly what the DTCC does. Obviously, you know, trillions of times every single year with quadrillions of dollars every single year. That's the gist of it. And that is why this news is so interesting because they are trying to tokenize the whole process. Now, obviously tokenization is a buzzword that gets a lot of attention and a lot of people don't necessarily know what that actually means. But today, we're going to take a look at what tokenization for the DTCC really means because as I said, they are the middleman between buyers and sellers.

[00:05:37]So, how can they even tokenize anything in this sense? Let's take a look at this infographic which basically explains how things are managed right now and why asset tokenization is going to make a huge amount of difference for the DTCC.

[00:05:54]If we take a look at today on your left side, traditional system today, we have the investor, we have the trade being executed, and then you have the DTCC clearing and settling that trade. And they keep a record of what happened, who owns that share, and who received the money. That's basically how it's done right now. And it does take some time for the clearing and settlement to happen. Typically speaking, it is the next trading day that you see those changes reflected in your own account.

[00:06:25]Now, 24 hours is still a very big time, a very long lag time for this to happen.

[00:06:32]And think of it, this is happening across billions of trades every single year and quadrillions of dollars every single year. Now the asset tokenization in this case for the DTCC is not making any assets actually tokenized on chain but rather if we take a look at the same step process but we add the tokenization aspect of it. You have your investor then you have the trade being executed very similar to step one and two of what we have today. But step three is where we have the onchain transfer. So the ownership transfers on the blockchain in real time. you don't have to wait one plus day for the settlement and the clearing to happen of that trade. And then the DTCC basically keeps the oversight and recordkeeping of the trades, but it's all done through the blockchain. And as we know, the blockchain is immutable. And obviously speaking, if you're putting all of these trades on the blockchain, which is a ledger that's not going anywhere, it's transparent and anybody can have access to it, you are going to see a ton and a ton of usage on that blockchain that is eventually chosen to house all of these different transfers that are happening in the US global markets. So this is why tokenization is very interesting when it comes to the DTCC because it makes everything near realtime settlement, faster collateral movement, reduces operational costs. It makes for better efficiency. And as we know, markets are only active from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

[00:08:14]But if it's all tokenized, you could potentially have even 247 markets as well as greater interoperability between different institutions if they're all on the blockchain. So asset tokenization when it comes to the DTCC is quite interesting and I do think it makes for a huge use case especially in the world that we're in right now. So with that being said, now that we understand a little bit more about the DTCC and why asset tokenization on the DTCC side is very interesting and will push global markets to new levels. Let's take a look at what the DTCC has actually done and why it is so bullish for the future of asset tokenization because over the last 23 days there has been a ton of news that not a whole lot of people have been covering. So on May 4th, we had the first news release that was essentially titled DTCC advances development of new tokenization service convenes 50 plus firms to drive digital asset adoption.

[00:09:23]The list of these 50 financial industries is through the roof. We have the likes of of course Black Rockck. We have the Bank of America. We have Anchorage Digital. We have Canton. We have Citadel. We have Charles Sch Swab.

[00:09:38]We have JP Morgan, Franklin Templeton, Goldman Sachs, we have Onondo, we have Ripple, and the list goes on and on and on. And all of these financial institutions essentially met at a table.

[00:09:52]and they began to discuss a timeline for the new DTCC tokenization service which is expected to begin production activity in July of 2026 with a broader roll out in October 2026. Now again a lot of things can change but this is the working group that is going to work towards asset tokenization services for the DTCC. And as we know that list that we just talked about includes both the top tradfi people as well as some of the top RWA plays in crypto right now. If both of these parties come together, I think that a lot of good things can happen and hopefully can happen quite quickly. Now, following that news release, 8 days later, the DTCC basically announced that they will be collaborating with Chainlink to advance 247 collateral management. And if we take a look at this news release, it says chain link will be integrated into DTCC's collateral app chain to enable the seamless pairing of asset prices, valuation, and movement with the aim of overhauling how market risk is managed globally. CRE which is chain link's runtime environment is built to operate at institutional scale and provides access to a resilient data and orchestration layer unlocking automated workflows for the collateral app chains advanced eligibility valuation margining collaterized optimization settlement and related postrade processes. So this is the DTCC basically telling everyone that they're going to be using chain links cre to integrate within this entire asset tokenization infrastructure that they are building for the future. Again quite bullish for chain link. Again not right now but in the future when this all eventually comes to fruition. Now, if you weren't excited up to this point, this third announcement is likely going to hype you up. Well, if we take a look at what just happened over the last few days, tokenization service to connect with Stellar public blockchain as DTC advances its multi-chain strategy. Now, as you guys know, we have a ton of chains that we've already mentioned when it comes to asset tokenization. Ripple, we have Onondo, there's even Canton in that 50 plus committee working group for the DTCC. But as of right now, we have prompt news that Stellar Lumen is going to be one of those blockchains that is highly going to be used by the DTCC. If we take a look at this article, they do say that the DTCC announced that its tokenization platform will connect to the Stellar network beginning in the first half of 2027.

[00:13:04]DTC custodied assets such as stocks, ETFs, and treasuries are expected to become available on Stellar. At this point, the DTC has around 114 trillion assets that they are custody for. This is not their own assets, but they are custodians of that amount of money for now. And this is significant because it basically aligns and says that Stellar is one of the first publicly announced blockchain destinations connected to the DTCC's tokenization strategy. the entire framework that we've just outlined here.

[00:13:40]It starts with that hundred to 114 trillion dollars custodied by the DTC.

[00:13:46]But then hopefully in the future, it continues to expand. Now, as a result of this, you obviously know that the price of XLM has gone up. If you take a look at the last, you know, 24 hours, it's gone up about 12 and a.5%. The last week, it is up 35%. Now, this is great news. Obviously, hugely bullish for XLM, but obviously understand the broader markets. Right now, Bitcoin's at 73 $74,000. If BTC goes lower before all of this is actually happening on chain in 2027, which is still a few months away, there's a lot of time for XLM to drop back and you could probably get a much better price than 20 cents right now. if of course BTC goes lower. But again, huge bullish news adoption for XLM in the future. Keep your eyes peeled on XLM. And as a result, we had other blockchains in the RWA space mentioned in that working group with the DTCC, the one and only. Continue watching this one. It is up as well 40% in the last month. Canton is another one that was mentioned relatively flat over the last month. You can see some ups, some downs.

[00:15:04]You also had XRP mentioned in there, Ripple. Keep your eyes peeled on that one. And of course, we have Chainlink being the behemoth. And you know, with Chainlink CRE being brought into by the DTCC to optimize their entire systems, that's also going to play a factor in asset tokenization. But again, still a few months away from all of this happening. A lot of changes are and potentially will happen from now until implementation. Likely going to see more chains be mentioned by the DTCC. But overall, this is a massive move into crypto adoption, into asset tokenization, and lo and behold, bringing trillions of dollars on chain, and hopefully in the future, even quadrillions of dollars as asset tokenization continues to prevail in crypto adoption. So with that being said, we have every single big player in the traditional finance space looking at asset tokenization, but looking at asset tokenization with crypto tools. We are talking about the SEC. We are talking about the DTCC. We are talking about Black Rockck and all of those financial institutions looking at how to make asset tokenization become reality. And it is slowly but surely happening. And that pace of adoption in my opinion is just going to continue increasing. So the question is when trillions of dollars in traditional assets begin to move onchain on the blockchain which network will capture most of its value.

[00:16:51]Will it be stellar ono canton XRP? We're going to have to wait and see. But for now keep your eyes peeled on asset tokenization. If you enjoyed this video, do me a solid favor.
