Broadridge to Add On-Chain Governance to NYSE Tokenized Securities Platform
Broadridge will provide on-chain shareholder governance and digital transfer agency services to NYSE's forthcoming tokenized securities platform, pending regulatory approval.
Broadridge Financial Solutions announced plans to integrate on-chain shareholder governance and digital transfer agency services into the New York Stock Exchange's tokenized securities platform, which is scheduled to launch following regulatory clearance.
The partnership positions Broadridge, a major provider of investor communications and technology services, as a core infrastructure layer for NYSE's push into blockchain-based securities. On-chain governance would allow shareholder voting and related corporate actions to be recorded and executed directly on a distributed ledger, potentially streamlining processes that currently rely on intermediaries.

NYSE's platform, once approved by regulators, would represent one of the most prominent efforts by a major U.S. exchange to bring equities-adjacent digital asset capabilities to institutional participants.
