DTCC plans to double down on digital assets work in 2025
The DTCC plans to expand its work in the digital assets field during 2025. In late 2023 the DTCC acquired Securrency, a firm that developed institutional DLT-based infrastructure, which became DTCC Digital Assets. At the end of last year it unveiled the DTCC Digital Launchpad, a sandbox in which industry can experiment.
âDTCC will continue to serve as a strategic partner to the industry by advancing acceptance and adoption of digital assets, focusing on opportunities to tokenize collateral and funds, and leveraging our existing clearing and settlement capabilities to facilitate the listing of digital funds on exchanges as well as secondary trading,â said Frank La Salla, President and CEO of DTCC.
The mention of collateral and funds references some of the progress so far. Before its acquisition, Securrencyâs trophy client was WisdomTree, the asset manager that now lets you pay for a coffee using a tokenized money market fund. WisdomTree continues to use DTCC Digital Assets technology post acquisition.

Metallicus Acquires FinTech Bonifii, Connecting 70+ Credit Unions to Metal Blockchain
Metallicus, a leader in blockchain technology for banking, has announced its acquisition of FinTech Bonifii, a Credit Union Service Organization (CUSO) formerly known as âCULedgerâ.
San Francisco, CA â 19th December 2024 â Metallicus, a leader in blockchain technology for banking, has announced its acquisition of FinTech Bonifii, a Credit Union Service Organization (CUSO) formerly known as âCULedgerâ. The two entities will establish a CUSO, allowing blockchain based products to be leveraged by credit unions that deploy on The Digital Banking Network (TDBN), an open source blockchain banking protocol developed by Metallicus. The acquisition enables more than 70 of Bonifiiâs current credit union customers to leverage the capabilities of Metal Blockchain, The Digital Banking Networkâs Layer 0 blockchain.
âBonifii has made great progress in bringing blockchain technology to credit unions, and we are excited to partner with them.â said Marshall Hayner, CEO of Metallicus. âWith our blockchain development expertise, and Bonifiiâs deep experience in the credit union sector, weâre excited to bring more financial institutions onchain, and significantly enhance financial services for their members.â
John Ainsworth, CEO of Bonifii, emphasized the historical significance of this merger:Â
âCULedger was originally founded to harness the potential of distributed ledger technology for credit unions. As the only CUSO directly connected to a blockchain core developer, we are uniquely positioned to accelerate the delivery of innovative tools that build member trust and enhance the competitiveness of credit unions globally.â
âThis acquisition will strengthen Bonifiiâs existing products such as MemberPass, and expand offerings into evolving areas of identity management, payments, smart contracts and more effective fraud fighting tools. We are excited about the future of the combined organization and what it can bring to credit unions and their members!â said Jim Phillips, EVP/CIO of Schools First FCU & Chairman of the Board at Bonifii.
The acquisition will allow Metallicus to offer its full-stack digital asset product suite to credit unions joining The Digital Banking Network, giving their members access to products like self-custody digital asset wallets and the ability to buy and sell cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, via the Metal Pay fiat onramp, natively within their existing banking apps.Â
Current participants in Metallicusâ Banking Innovation Program are incubating use cases such as stablecoins, onchain identity, asset tokenization, single sign-on (SSO), and smart contracts. Metal Blockchainâs architecture allows financial institutions to operate their own private subnet on The Digital Banking Network, facilitating secure, instant payments between others without the need for a bridge, while meeting regulatory standards like BSA Compliance & ISO20022.
The acquisition follows Metallicusâ recent announcement of its enablement of instant payment capabilities through the FedNowÂŽ Service.Â

Thereâs now just under one year to go until the end of the MT/ISO 20022 cross-border coexistence period for payments instructions.
Early adopters of the new standard are already starting to see improvements, including interoperability across systems, and enhanced processing capabilities. And more are expected as momentum builds closer to the November 2025 deadline.
Payments are entering a new era with the introduction of the ISO 20022 standard as the common language for payments worldwide.

Enabling the communityâs transition to ISO 20022
As we continue to deliver on our vision to enable instant and frictionless cross-border transactions, ISO 20022âs rich and structured data will play an essential role.
When the community decided to migrate to ISO 20022, we were asked to support the industry with the transition. Since March 2023, weâve enabled a period of coexistence, converting messages between MT and ISO 20022 format. This has allowed early adopters to already start to benefit from ISO 20022âs richer and more structured data.
Financial institutions that have finished their conversions have said theyâre already seeing benefits, such as better harmonisation between payment systems, and enhanced compliance thanks to the standardâs richer data. Institutions expect to see increased benefits as momentum builds to November 2025, with more institutions completing their migrations, and ISO 20022 becoming the norm. www.swift.com/news-events/news/one-year-countdown-âŚ
