Broadridge Extends Tokenisation Platform | LeapRate

Broadridge Financial Solutions has announced an expansion of its tokenization capabilities, giving institutional firms a single, integrated platform on which to operate across both tokenised and traditional securities.

The move builds on Broadridge’s existing Distributed Ledger Repo solution, which already tokenises more than $365 billion daily and has established the firm as a recognised leader in the space. 

The expanded infrastructure extends the same tokenisation engine — originally built for regulated fixed income settlement — to also support equities, funds, alternatives, and money market instruments within a consistent framework.

Post-trade processing has also been enhanced to handle tokenised securities, fractionalised assets, and crypto-related holdings alongside conventional instruments, using shared workflows, reconciliation standards, and reporting controls. 

Broadridge says this approach allows clients to integrate tokenised assets more quickly and at lower cost than building separate infrastructure.

The platform connects directly to major public and permissioned Layer 1 blockchain networks, including Canton, Ethereum, and EVM-compatible chains, providing institutions with a single integration point across a fragmented distributed infrastructure landscape. 

Order routing and connectivity are supported through Broadridge’s CQG and NYFIX capabilities, which extend access to crypto exchanges and tokenised asset venues.

Corporate actions, proxy voting, and on-chain governance for tokenised equities are all handled within the same infrastructure, ensuring consistent entitlements and voting access regardless of whether assets are held in traditional custodial accounts, digital wallets, or on-chain.
