Broadridge Broadens Tokenization Infrastructure for Markets

Broadridge Financial Solutions has expanded its tokenization capabilities, introducing a broader infrastructure framework that allows institutional firms to manage tokenized and traditional securities through a single integrated platform.

The company said the expansion extends its multi-asset trading and post-trade infrastructure to support tokenized assets across order management, execution, settlement, and governance workflows. Broadridge currently supports institutional trading activity exceeding $15 trillion in assets daily.

Frank Troise, President of Broadridge’s Global Capital Markets business, said the company is building on the technology behind its Distributed Ledger Repo platform, which tokenizes more than $365 billion in transactions each day.

According to Troise, the latest expansion combines digital asset functionality with the operational standards and controls institutional investors already use across global markets. He added that the approach is here to reduce operational friction while maintaining regulatory compliance and operational resilience.

Broadridge stated that the tokenization engine originally developed for fixed income settlement has now been expanded to support equities, funds, alternatives, and money market instruments within a unified framework. Firms can operate with a single governance model and tokenization infrastructure across different asset classes.

The company also integrated tokenized assets into its existing post-trade processing environment. Institutional clients can now process tokenized securities, fractionalized assets, and crypto-related holdings alongside traditional instruments using the same reconciliation, reporting, and control workflows already in place.

Broadridge added that its infrastructure connects directly to public and permissioned Layer 1 blockchain networks, including Canton, Ethereum, and EVM-compatible chains. The company said this provides firms with a single integration point while Broadridge manages the complexity of multi-network connectivity behind the scenes.

The expansion also incorporates the company’s CQG and NYFIX platforms, allowing institutions to integrate crypto and tokenized asset trading into established trading workflows. Broadridge said NYFIX continues to support institutional-grade order routing and connectivity through standardized messaging infrastructure.

In addition, the platform now supports the full corporate actions and governance lifecycle for both tokenized and traditional securities. Dividend processing, proxy voting, voluntary and mandatory corporate actions, and on-chain governance can all be within the same operational framework. This is regardless of whether assets are in custodial accounts, digital wallets, or on-chain environments.
