Management Statement
Frank Troise, President of Global Capital Markets at Broadridge, commented on the expansion.
“We are now delivering a range of capabilities that support the trading of tokenised securities on our infrastructure, while leveraging the established systems, controls and workflows that institutional investors rely on every day. Combining digital innovation with proven trading, connectivity and post-trade infrastructure will enable our clients to unlock liquidity and reduce operational friction while maintaining the scale, operational resilience and regulatory compliance required by global capital markets.”
The company noted that, although demand for tokenised securities is increasing, the core requirements of institutional trading remain unchanged. These continue to centre on standardised protocols for issuance, transfer, settlement and asset servicing, together with interoperability across firms and trading venues.
Five Core Capabilities
A Single Tokenisation Engine Across Asset Classes
Broadridge has expanded the core tokenisation engine of its Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR) solution. Designed for regulated institutional settlement use cases, the engine was previously deployed in fixed income markets. Following the expansion, it now additionally supports the following asset classes:
Equities
Funds
Alternative investments
Money market instruments
Institutional clients can therefore use a single tokenisation rail, one governance standard and one operating model across their entire portfolio of tokenised assets.
Post-Trade Processing and Blockchain Connectivity
The company’s post-trade infrastructure now supports tokenised and traditional assets within the same processing ecosystem and control framework. Institutions can process tokenised securities, fractionalised assets and crypto-related assets alongside traditional financial instruments using consistent workflows, controls, reconciliation and reporting standards.
At the network connectivity level, Broadridge provides direct access to leading public and permissioned Layer 1 blockchain networks, including Canton, Ethereum (ETH) and Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible (EVM) networks. This gives institutions a single integration point across distributed infrastructures, while Broadridge manages the complexity of the underlying multi-network connectivity.
Order Routing, Connectivity and Corporate Actions
Through CQG and NYFIX, Broadridge integrates front-end trading access, smart order routing and execution ecosystem connectivity, helping institutions incorporate cryptocurrency and tokenised asset trading into their existing workflows. NYFIX extends institutional-grade order routing and connectivity through standardised messaging.
In relation to corporate actions and governance, the platform applies consistent governance standards across the complete lifecycle of tokenised and traditional securities. The relevant processes include:
Dividend processing;
Mandatory and voluntary corporate action processing;
Proxy voting;
On-chain governance for tokenised equities.
Investors receive consistent entitlements, disclosures and voting rights regardless of whether assets are held in traditional custody accounts, digital wallets or on-chain.
