Broadridge has expanded its governance platform to support digital assets, enabling issuers and investors to manage proxy voting, corporate actions and disclosures for both traditional and tokenised securities within their existing systems and workflows.
Galaxy – the first U.S. public company to issue native tokenised equity on a major public blockchain – will use Broadridge’s platform for its annual meeting and shareholder vote in May. The move marks a notable step in bringing digital assets into mainstream public‑market governance.
Mike Novogratz, founder and CEO of Galaxy, said: “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.”
How it works
The platform introduces corporate actions for tokenised assets, beginning with proxy voting. Votes will be recorded on Broadridge’s Avalanche‑based L1 and distributed across multiple blockchains. Through the integration of Broadridge’s ProxyVote platform into digital wallets, investors can receive materials, verify holdings and submit votes with a transparent, verifiable audit trail.
To streamline annual meetings for public companies issuing both tokenised and traditional shares, Broadridge’s solution consolidates voting across registered, beneficial and tokenised holdings into a single view. The approach removes fragmentation and provides issuers with consistent oversight of governance activity regardless of how shares are held.
