Broadridge Financial Solutions said it expanded its infrastructure to support tokenized securities alongside traditional assets, as Wall Street firms pour into building systems for blockchain-based trading and settlement.
The financial technology company focused on institutional securities markets said on Tuesday that its platform now supports tokenized equities, funds, alternative assets and money market instruments across trading, order routing and post-trade operations.
The New York Stock Exchange-listed company added that the system connects to public and permissioned blockchain networks including Ethereum-compatible chains and Canton. On Monday, the company said it had begun operating an Agentic AI platform for capital markets and wealth management workflows.
Broadridge said its Distributed Ledger Repo platform currently tokenizes more than $365 billion in assets daily, while its broader infrastructure supports more than $15 trillion in securities transactions per day.
The expanded system will let institutions process tokenized securities, fractionalized assets and crypto-related holdings alongside traditional financial instruments using the same settlement, reconciliation, reporting and compliance workflows, according to the company.
Broadridge said the platform also supports corporate actions, proxy voting and governance processes across both tokenized and traditional assets.
