Expectations for institutional adoption surrounding XRP are once again rapidly rising as the tokenization initiative of a key institution in the US financial infrastructure has been revealed.

According to crypto media outlet The Crypto Basic on April 14 (local time), discussions about the connection with the XRP ecosystem are rapidly spreading in the market as the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) officially announced its plan to launch tokenization services in the second half of 2026.

DTCC plans to introduce a 'hybrid structure' that records securities based on distributed ledger technology while maintaining existing centralized infrastructure. This is considered significant because tokenization has moved beyond a simple experimental phase and is now entering the stage of actual application in the financial system.

In this process, the XRP community is focusing on the indirect link between Ripple and DTCC. The key evidence cited is that Hidden Road, acquired by Ripple, participates in DTCC's Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC) and, at the same time, has integrated the XRP Ledger into its payment infrastructure.

In particular, this institution is a key infrastructure that processes trillions of dollars in transactions daily, including US Treasury bond trades. The analysis suggests that Ripple's integration into a structure connected to this network strengthens the narrative of XRP's institutional adoption.

DTCC emphasizes interoperability as a key factor in the tokenization market and aims for a structure connected to various blockchains. Accordingly, expectations are growing that some digital assets, including XRP, could play a role in the payment layer in the future. However, there is no official confirmation of this possibility.

As DTCC's tokenization roadmap and Ripple's expansion into the institutional market align, expectations for XRP's long-term integration into the financial infrastructure are once again being highlighted.
