Broadridge Opens Its $15 Trillion-a-Day Infrastructure to Tokenized Securities

Broadridge Financial Solutions announced on Monday a sweeping expansion of its tokenization capabilities, giving institutional clients the ability to process tokenized securities through the same infrastructure that already handles more than $15 trillion in assets per day.

The pitch is straightforward: one integrated platform for traditional and tokenized instruments, from order routing through settlement and corporate governance. For an industry still running tokenized products on separate rails from everything else, that is a meaningful step.

Broadridge says the expanded engine supports equities, funds, alternatives, and money market instruments inside a consistent framework. Tokenized securities, fractionalized assets, and crypto-related holdings can all be processed alongside conventional instruments using the same controls, reconciliation, and reporting.

The core technology traces back to Broadridge’s Distributed Ledger Repo platform, which already tokenizes more than $365 billion a day. The company is now extending that engine across its full multi-asset stack, plugging tokenized products into the order-routing and connectivity tools institutional desks already rely on, including CQG and NYFIX.

From the Broadridge PRNewswire announcement:

The Broadridge PRNewswire announcement said Broadridge Financial Solutions announced a comprehensive expansion of its tokenization capabilities, saying it now provides institutional firms the infrastructure to operate across tokenized and traditional securities on a single integrated platform. The company said it supports institutional trading at scale by reducing operational complexity from execution to settlement for more than $15 trillion in assets per day, and that the announcement extends its multi-asset capabilities to tokenized assets across order, execution, and post-trade infrastructure. Broadridge said it extended the tokenization engine behind its Distributed Ledger Repo platform, which tokenizes more than $365 billion a day, to support equities, funds, alternatives, and money market instruments. The release also says Broadridge can process tokenized securities, fractionalized assets, and crypto-related holdings alongside conventional instruments, connects to public and permissioned Layer 1 networks including Canton, Ethereum, and EVM-compatible chains, and supports order routing, connectivity, corporate actions, proxy voting, and on-chain governance.

Blockchain connectivity spans public and permissioned Layer 1 networks, with Canton, Ethereum, and EVM-compatible chains specifically named. That multi-chain approach matters because institutional adoption has been fragmented across private ledgers and public networks, and firms want their back office to handle both without building parallel systems.

Governance is part of the package too. Broadridge already extended its proxy voting and disclosure solutions to cover tokenized securities earlier this month, layering corporate actions and on-chain governance into the same lifecycle support that traditional shareholders receive.

This announcement lands during a stretch of rapid institutional moves into tokenized products. The NYSE has filed to list tokenized equity shares. DTCC is building digital-asset settlement infrastructure. State Street and Galaxy launched the SWEEP money market fund on-chain. Each of those deals, though, solves one piece of the puzzle: a venue, a settlement layer, a single fund. Broadridge is selling the connective tissue underneath all of them.

A firm processing $15 trillion a day across execution and post-trade systems now telling the market that tokenized assets slot directly into those systems is a credibility signal the industry should pay attention to. Tokenization has spent years stuck in proof-of-concept mode. When the infrastructure providers start treating it as production-grade plumbing, the timeline for broad institutional adoption compresses considerably.
