DeLorean launches $DMC token on Solana with Wormhole integration, enabling cross-chain access as tokenized asset adoption grows, leveraging Solana’s high throughput to bring iconic IP to millions of DeFi, NFT, and retail users globally.
DeLorean Motor Company takes a major step into the digital asset space, as its Web3 arm, DeLorean Labs, is launching its native $DMC token onto the Solana ecosystem. The move marks a notable convergence of cultural heritage and blockchain infrastructure, making DeLorean one of the first major brands globally to enter decentralized finance and tokenized ecosystems.
It is being implemented, with the assistance of the Solana Foundation and in collaboration with Sunrise, powered by Wormhole Labs. This facilitates the seamless cross-chain interoperability, where users within ecosystems can access and use the $DMC token.
Bringing Cultural IP On-Chain
DeLorean’s entry into blockchain is built on the idea of democratizing access to iconic intellectual property. The brand expects to capture a wider retail-led audience, such as DeFi users, NFT collectors, and traders, by launching $DMC on Solana, a network known to have low transaction costs and high throughput.
“Seeing a brand like DeLorean move onchain is a big moment. Sunrise is bringing all important assets to Solana, where they can trade in open, liquid markets. We’re excited to bring $DMC into the ecosystem,” said Saeed Badreg, Co-founder and CEO, Wormhole Labs.
The project shows a larger trend in the crypto markets, where the tokenization of real world assets (RWA) is gaining traction. DeLorean is exploring new ways to connect with its global fan base and create utility-based value.
Utility and Ecosystem Expansion
The $DMC token is designed to go beyond trading. DeLorean Labs notes that users in the Solana ecosystem will be in a position to purchase, hold, stake and use the token within the different platforms. The token will also offer a preview to tokenized vehicle drops and engagement in governance decisions, delivering a decentralized model of brand interaction.
“DeLorean is about momentum, innovation, and pushing boundaries, values that align perfectly with what’s happening on Solana, and in the Solana community right now. We’re not just launching a token; we’re committing to the ecosystem,” said Evan Kuhn, President, DeLorean Labs.

A Data-Driven Shift Toward Tokenized Assets
The global tokenization market is rapidly growing, with increasing institutional and retail participation. The infrastructure created by Solana, with the ability to process thousands of transactions per second at a low cost, offers an ideal platform to scale such efforts.
DeLorean’s move aligns with a larger trend of traditional brands using blockchain to establish participatory ecosystems. In contrast to the traditional models of ownership, tokenization enables users with direct access to products, governance, and digital marketplaces.
