Broadridge has expanded its tokenisation capabilities, giving institutional clients the ability to process tokenised securities through the same infrastructure they use for traditional assets.
The platform now connects to both public and permissioned Layer 1 networks—including Canton, Ethereum, and EVM‑compatible chains—addressing one of the biggest barriers to institutional adoption: firms wanting to operate across public and private networks without building or maintaining parallel systems.
How it works
By consolidating both digital and conventional instruments onto a single, integrated rail, Broadridge now supports the full lifecycle from order routing through settlement and corporate governance. Much of the industry still runs tokenised products on separate rails; Broadridge’s post‑trade infrastructure now processes tokenised and traditional assets within the same ecosystem, controls, reconciliation, and reporting framework.
The technology extends Broadridge’s Distributed Ledger Repo platform, which tokenises collateral held in custody and allows smart contracts to manage the full lifecycle of repo agreements, across its full multi‑asset stack. The expanded engine supports equities, funds, alternatives, and money‑market instruments, enabling tokenised securities, fractionalised assets, and crypto‑related holdings to be handled alongside conventional instruments with consistent operational standards.
