8 terms

tokenized equities technical

"Ensuring accurate, scalable, and cost-effective governance has never been more critical to supporting the growth of tokenized equities"

Tokenized equities are regular company shares represented as digital tokens on a secure electronic record (blockchain), allowing ownership to be tracked and transferred in tiny pieces. For investors this matters because it can make buying, selling and dividing ownership faster, cheaper and possible in smaller amounts—like turning a house into many tradable slices—potentially increasing access and liquidity while still carrying the same market and regulatory risks as ordinary shares.

digital assets technical

"extension of its governance platform to support digital assets"

Digital assets are electronic files or representations of value stored electronically, such as cryptocurrencies, digital tokens, or digital art. They matter to investors because they can be bought, sold, and used for transactions much like physical assets, but exist entirely in digital form, offering new opportunities for investment and financial innovation.

proxy voting financial

"manage proxy voting, corporate actions, and disclosures across both traditional and tokenized securities"

Proxy voting is a process that allows investors to have their voting power on company decisions exercised by someone else if they cannot attend meetings in person. It ensures that their opinions are still represented, similar to authorizing someone else to vote on their behalf at an election. This helps investors influence company actions even when they cannot be physically present.

corporate actions financial

"manage proxy voting, corporate actions, and disclosures across both traditional and tokenized securities"

Corporate actions are decisions made by a company that directly change the rights, value, or number of shares held by its investors, such as dividend payments, stock splits, mergers, or rights issues. They matter because these events can alter an investment’s cash flow, ownership percentage, or market price — like a landlord renovating an apartment building, which can change a tenant’s rent, the number of rooms, or the building’s value and therefore affect what the tenant pays or owns.

blockchain technical

"native tokenized equity on a major public blockchain, will utilize Broadridge's platform"

A blockchain is a digital record-keeping system that securely stores information across many computers, making it difficult to alter or tamper with. Think of it like a shared, unchangeable ledger that everyone can see and verify, ensuring transparency and trust. For investors, this technology offers a way to securely track transactions and assets without relying on a central authority, potentially reducing costs and increasing security.

digital wallets technical

"Integrating Broadridge's ProxyVote platform into digital wallets, investors can receive materials"

A digital wallet is an app or online service that lets people store and use payment details, identification, loyalty cards, or cryptocurrency on a phone or computer—think of it as a virtual version of a physical wallet that can pay for things, prove identity, or hold digital assets. Investors care because widespread use changes how consumers pay, shifts revenue toward companies that control these payment flows, and introduces technology, security and regulatory risks that can affect profits and valuation.

tokenization technical

"As tokenization gains momentum across financial services, Broadridge is delivering the critical governance infrastructure"

Tokenization is the process of converting real-world assets or rights into digital tokens stored on a computer network. This allows assets, such as property or investments, to be divided into smaller parts, making them easier to buy, sell, or transfer electronically. For investors, tokenization can increase access to a wider range of investments and make transactions faster and more efficient.

on-chain technical

"bringing proxy voting on-chain for a public company is not theoretical anymore"

On-chain describes actions or data that are recorded directly on a blockchain, a public digital ledger that creates a permanent, time-stamped record of transactions. For investors, on-chain activity provides verifiable evidence of transfers, ownership changes or automated program actions (like contract-driven payments); seeing these entries is like checking a bank statement and helps assess liquidity, settlement finality, fees, and transparency when judging risk and market behavior.

Galaxy pioneers full ownership rights across traditional and tokenized holdings

NEW YORK, April 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (NYSE: BR) today announced the extension of its governance platform to support digital assets. This new capability enables public companies and funds, broker-dealers and wealth managers, and retail and institutional investors to manage proxy voting, corporate actions, and disclosures across both traditional and tokenized securities within their existing platforms and workflows. This new tokenized equity capability complements Broadridge's market-leading tokenization capabilities, which already process $8 trillion in tokenized assets per month. As tokenization gains momentum across financial services, Broadridge is delivering the critical governance infrastructure necessary to support digital asset adoption and growth at scale.

Galaxy (NASDAQ: GLXY), the first U.S. public company to issue native tokenized equity on a major public blockchain, will utilize Broadridge's platform for its upcoming annual meeting and shareholder vote in May, marking a significant step in the adoption of digital assets within public markets.

"We've long believed that tokenization will reshape capital markets, and this is a meaningful step towards a tokenized equity market," said Mike Novogratz, Founder and CEO of Galaxy. "Proxy voting is a core feature of equity ownership and bringing proxy voting on-chain for a public company is not theoretical anymore. With Broadridge, we're combining the credibility of traditional market infrastructure with the advantages of blockchain to deliver a more efficient model for shareholders."

"Ensuring accurate, scalable, and cost-effective governance has never been more critical to supporting the growth of tokenized equities," said Tim Gokey, CEO of Broadridge. "Today's announcement highlights Broadridge's unmatched ability to support market leaders like Galaxy with innovative solutions that support their tokenization roadmap. It also marks another step towards our goal of extending our leading tokenization capabilities with a suite of solutions across investor communications, proxy voting and trading."

The platform introduces corporate actions for tokenized assets, starting with proxy voting, which will be recorded on Broadridge's Avalanche based L1 and then distributed across multiple blockchains. Integrating Broadridge's ProxyVote platform into digital wallets, investors can receive materials, confirm their holdings and submit votes, all with a transparent and verifiable record.

To simplify the annual meeting process for public companies issuing tokenized shares alongside traditional shares, Broadridge's solution consolidates voting across registered, beneficial, and tokenized holdings into a single view for issuers. This "single pane of glass" approach removes fragmentation and enables consistent oversight of governance activity regardless of how assets are held. The platform is designed to support all forms of tokenization, including both issued-sponsored tokenized securities and third party-sponsored tokenized securities, ensuring compatibility with evolving market models.

Today's announcement underscores Broadridge's commitment to accelerating the adoption of digital assets across the financial services landscape. Building on its industry-leading role in tokenizing US$8 Trillion in assets per month, Broadridge also enables on-chain proxy voting and governance, digital asset post-trade infrastructure, and the scaling of digital asset capabilities across multiple asset classes. Through these innovations, Broadridge is helping traditional financial institutions unlock the next era of digital asset investing.
