USIG Digital, a provider of institutional digital debt products, is launching a market-readiness programme to validate the operational lifecycle of tokenised US Treasury collateral as it prepares its tokenised debt offering.

The firm says its initiative comes in response to the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation’s (DTCC) tokenisation service, developed through the Depository Trust Company (DTC) .

The programme is designed to evaluate the collateral lifecycle for tokenised US Treasuries, from purchase, sale, and holding through maturity — including tokenisation, wallet transfers, and operational reconciliation.

It also validates and builds operational experience with tokenised Treasuries in securities financing, assessing their ability to serve as repo collateral, according to USIG.

Securities tokenised via the DTC service are issued on the Canton Network, the same platform that USIG is built on, meaning they can be assessed for eligibility in USIG’s collateral pool, subject to rating and customary conditions.

The testing will begin with bilateral repo before expanding to triparty and centrally cleared structures, as the market moves towards the 2027 US Treasury clearing mandate.

Speaking on the launch, David Petrie, CEO of USIG Digital, says: “Our market readiness program is designed to demonstrate that the full collateral lifecycle works with that programmability and mobility, from purchase to settlement to redemption.”

The framework will also provide USIG with operational experience as it prepares a tokenised debt offering, which is anticipated to receive an investment-grade rating.
