The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has announced support for tokenized custodial assets on the Stellar network, sparking speculation about the potential replacement of XRP by XLM. However, the focus should be on DTCC's broader strategy of integrating multiple public blockchains into a unified institutional-grade process. Recent developments include the launch of a tokenization working group with Ripple on May 4, adoption of Chainlink's CRE standard for cross-chain interoperability on May 12, and support for Stellar on May 27. DTCC's actions emphasize interoperability rather than reliance on a single network. Stellar's role is primarily in asset issuance and on-chain representation, while Ripple's ecosystem continues to facilitate liquidity, settlement coordination, and institutional connectivity. Ripple's acquisition of Hidden Road, now Ripple Prime, has further strengthened its integration with traditional market infrastructure, including DTCC-related systems. This multi-chain approach allows institutions to leverage different Layer 1 networks based on specific business needs, similar to the stablecoin market's use of multiple networks for efficiency and liquidity.
