In tokenized assets processed per month through Broadridge's tokenization capabilities, the foundation the new on-chain governance layer extends.
How Broadridge brought corporate governance for tokenized equities onchain.
The infrastructure provider behind $15T in daily trading and 200M+ investor accounts extended its proxy-voting platform onchain, and is now the governance layer for every tokenization model recognized by the SEC.

Governance has to scale with tokenization.
Tokenization is reshaping how securities are issued, held, and traded. Without a corresponding governance layer, the gains are narrow: faster settlement, but unclear voting; programmable ownership, but unverifiable proxy. Broadridge's bet is that governance has to scale with tokenization, or tokenization stalls.
The ProxyVote platform already handles the bulk of U.S. corporate-action and proxy-voting volume. Extending it onchain meant taking decades of regulated workflow and putting it on a network that can prove, cryptographically, who voted, when, and on what.
Why an AvaCloud L1
Broadridge picked Avalanche L1s on AvaCloud for three reasons:
- Configurable permissioning. Broker-dealers and issuers participate under the same compliance constraints they already operate under in traditional markets.
- Operational maturity. Enterprise SLAs, on-prem viable, no public mempool to leak deal flow.
- Interoperability. Native ICM lets onchain-native and traditional securities sit side by side in the same governance flow without bridges.
What's live
The Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR) platform processes more than $1T in daily repo volume on AvaCloud. Beyond repo, the governance fabric now covers proxy voting, disclosures, and corporate actions for tokenized equities issued under every SEC-recognized model.
"As tokenization reshapes how securities are issued, held, and traded, solving for governance, irrespective of how they are tokenized and where they are held, is critical to scaling adoption."
— Doug DeSchutter, President, Investor Communication Solutions, Broadridge
