The DTCC is reportedly set to begin using #XLM on June 28. The DTCC is a key component of the global financial system, processing an enormous volume of transactions and securities settlements worth quadrillions of dollars.

At the same time, President Donald Trump is reportedly expected to disconnect from the #SWIFT system in July.
