Ondo expands tokenized equities with onchain shareholder voting
RWA Signal Insight
StocksOndo Finance has partnered with financial infrastructure provider Broadridge to integrate shareholder voting rights into its tokenized stocks and ETFs. This initiative allows holders of over 250 tokenized securities to participate in proxy voting and access corporate communications directly through blockchain wallets. The integration addresses a critical limitation in the RWA sector by bridging the gap between digital asset ownership and traditional shareholder governance. These features will debut with the launch of Ondo’s first US custodial tokenized securities, including BlackRock’s iShares Core S&P 500 ETF and Micron Technology. These assets are the first to be issued under the SEC’s third-party custodial framework for tokenized securities.
