History of DTC
The need for the DTC emerged in the late 1960s when the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) became unable to handle its trade volume, particularly the massive amount of paperwork associated with this trade volume. In 1968, the NYSE initiated the functions of DTS through its Central Certificate Service (CCS), a securities depository established to serve NYSE member firms.

The Depository Trust and Clearing Company (DTCC) owns the DTC. DTCC manages risk in the financial system. Formerly an independent entity, the DTC was consolidated with several other securities-clearing companies in 1999 and became a subsidiary of the DTCC.
