Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. today announced the extension of its governance platform to support digital assets, enabling public companies, funds, broker-dealers, 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. Galaxy, 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, signaling momentum for digital asset-backed governance in 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.”
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.
