Broadridge Joins NYSE Tokenized Securities Network to Bring Proxy Voting and Transfer Agency Services On-Chain #
Broadridge Financial Solutions has signed an agreement with the New York Stock Exchange to deliver on-chain shareholder governance and digital transfer agency services on the exchange’s planned tokenized securities venue, NYSE announced on November 2, 2026.
Broadridge is the most prominent name among four new transfer-agent partners joining the project. Computershare, Equiniti, and blockchain-native tokenization firm Superstate have also signed agreements with the exchange. The network now counts six participants; Securitize and tZERO were previously signed as founding partners.
According to NYSE’s announcement, Broadridge will deploy governance smart contracts that connect tokenized shares to meeting agendas, voting rules, and verified ownership records. Investors will be able to cast proxy votes directly through supported digital wallets or brokerage platforms. The firm will also provide a digital transfer agency capability to manage both traditional book-entry and tokenized share classes within a unified system, reducing the fragmented record-keeping that issuers would otherwise face as their securities move onto blockchain infrastructure.
Broadridge chief executive Tim Gokey described the arrangement as simplifying issuer complexity “irrespective of where their shares are tokenized and held,” positioning the company’s governance layer as a horizontal service across the tokenized market rather than a point solution tied to one issuer or venue.
Broadridge, Computershare, and Equiniti collectively serve close to 5,000 publicly listed companies and together cover nearly 99 percent of constituents in the S&P 500.
NYSE’s parent company, Intercontinental Exchange, first unveiled the tokenized securities initiative in January 2026. The venue is designed around 24/7 continuous trading, instant on-chain settlement, and stablecoin-denominated funding. The design pairs NYSE’s existing Pillar matching engine with blockchain-based post-trade infrastructure rather than replacing the exchange’s core technology.
The platform remains subject to regulatory approval, and no firm launch date has been announced. NYSE said its priority throughout the build-out is to preserve market integrity as the infrastructure evolves. Broadridge’s governance and communications infrastructure already supports more than 200 million retail and institutional accounts globally and is expected to be among the more complex integrations required before the venue can go live.
