Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc has announced a comprehensive expansion of its tokenisation capabilities, designed to provide institutional firms with the infrastructure to operate across tokenised and traditional securities on a single, integrated platform.
Broadridge writes that it supports institutional trading at scale by reducing operational complexity from execution to settlement for more than USD15 trillion in assets per day.
Today’s announcement marks the extension of Broadridge’s market-leading multi-asset capabilities to support the trading of tokenised assets across its order, execution, and post-trade infrastructure.
“Broadridge is already a leader in tokenisation with our Distributed Ledger Repo solution platform, which tokenises more than USD365 billion every day,” says Frank Troise, President of Broadridge’s Global Capital Markets business.
“Now, we’re delivering a suite of capabilities that support the trading of tokenised securities across our infrastructure with the established systems, controls, and workflows institutional investors rely on every day. Bringing together digital innovation with proven trading, connectivity, and post-trade infrastructure will enable our clients to unlock liquidity and reduce friction across their operations while maintaining the scale, operational resilience, and regulatory compliance required in global capital markets.”
As demand for tokenised securities grows, the core requirements of institutional trading remain the same – standardised protocols for issuance, transfer, settlement, and asset servicing as well as interoperability across firms and venues.
Broadridge writes that it is powering that evolution by enhancing its key capabilities to support a tokenised market structure that delivers the reliability, consistency, and operational integrity expected in today’s capital markets.
To make this happen, Broadridge has extended the core tokenisation engine behind its Distributed Ledger Repo solution, built for regulated institutional settlement and proven in Fixed Income, to also support equities, funds, alts, and money market instruments within a single, consistent framework. Institutions can now operate with one set of tokenisation rails, one governance standard, and one operational model across their entire tokenised asset portfolio.
Broadridge’s post-trade infrastructure now supports tokenised and traditional assets within the same processing ecosystem and control framework. Institutions can process tokenised securities, fractionalized assets, and crypto-related holdings alongside conventional instruments using consistent workflows, controls, reconciliation, and reporting standards. By building on existing post-trade infrastructure, Broadridge is enabling clients to integrate tokenised assets with greater speed, lower cost, and less operational complexity.
Broadridge connects directly to major public and permissioned Layer 1 blockchain networks (e.g. Canton, ETH, EVM compatible), giving institutions a single integration point across the distributed infrastructure landscape. This allows operations teams to manage business workflow, oversight, and risk through familiar controls, while Broadridge manages the underlying connectivity complexity required to support a multi-network market environment, the firm says.
Broadridge writes that its CQG and NYFIX capabilities help firms incorporate crypto and tokenised asset trading into existing workflows by combining front-end trading access, intelligent order routing, and connectivity across a broad execution ecosystem. Through our existing capabilities, Broadridge provides connectivity to leading crypto exchanges and prediction markets that support multi-asset trading, while NYFIX extends institutional-grade order routing and connectivity through standardized messaging. With millions of trades routed each day, Broadridge brings the scale, resilience, and market reach institutions need to incorporate tokenised assets into existing trading operations with confidence.
Broadridge writes that it delivers the full corporate actions and governance lifecycle across tokenised and traditional securities on a single platform, under a single governance standard. Dividend processing, mandatory and voluntary corporate actions, proxy voting, and on-chain governance for tokenised equities all flow through Broadridge’s existing infrastructure. Whether assets sit in traditional custodial accounts, digital wallets, or on-chain, investors receive consistent entitlements, consistent disclosure, and consistent voting access.
