With DTCC preparing its tokenization infrastructure and Canton emerging as an institutional settlement layer, Edel is betting that the real opportunity isn't just tokenizing securities - it's building the markets around them.
Edel has positioned itself at the center of a fundamental shift in global finance. The company has joined the DTCC Digital Assets Solutions Industry Working Group to help develop the DTCC Tokenization Service. It joins a group that includes BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, NYSE, and Citadel Securities, as well as Ripple, Ondo, and Digital Asset.
This is more than another industry membership.
DTCC sits at the heart of the US securities market. Its planned service will bring DTC-custodied assets onchain as tokenized versions of traditional securities. Edel is approaching this transition from the market side.
The company is building perpetual markets for equities and commodities directly on Canton, designed specifically for institutional trading and risk management. Membership in the working group gives Edel a seat at the table while the standards and infrastructure for these assets are still being defined.
Edel is positioning for what comes after Wall Street moves onchain
Tokenization gives a security an onchain identity, but it doesn't create the markets needed to trade, finance, or manage risk.
That gap is what Edel is targeting.
As DTCC builds the rails to bring securities onto Canton, Edel is building the market layer those assets will eventually require. The two projects are different, but they share a destination: institutional capital markets running on shared digital infrastructure.
For Wall Street, the move onchain starts with tokenization, but it won't end there.
