Broadridge and Payward Services Collaborate to Give xStocks Holders a Voice in Corporate Governance

Broadridge Financial Solutions and Payward Services have partnered to integrate Broadridge’s unified governance platform with xStocks, a leading tokenized equities framework. This collaboration allows eligible holders of xStocks to participate in corporate governance by submitting proxy voting preferences for their underlying shares. By utilizing Web3 authentication to access ProxyVote.com, investors can now review materials and vote on corporate matters, effectively bridging the gap between blockchain-native assets and traditional shareholder rights. Payward Services currently supports over 500 tokenized assets, including equities, ETFs, and pre-IPO offerings, with plans to expand into international markets. As xStocks continues to grow, this integration ensures that tokenized equity holders receive the same governance capabilities expected in traditional capital markets. This development is significant for the RWA market as it addresses a critical barrier to institutional adoption by standardizing shareholder communication for on-chain securities. The partnership leverages Broadridge’s established infrastructure, which already processes trillions in daily securities trading, to bring institutional-grade governance to the evolving tokenized ecosystem.

Broadridge tokenization business is boosted by complexity it helps clients manage

Broadridge Financial Solutions reported strong fiscal year 2026 results, achieving 8% recurring revenue growth and 12% adjusted EPS growth driven by its expanding role in the tokenized securities ecosystem. CEO Tim Gokey highlighted that the inherent complexity of transitioning to blockchain-based assets creates significant demand for Broadridge’s specialized infrastructure services. The firm currently supports governance and proxy voting across three distinct tokenized equity models, including synthetic, custodial, and native digital issuances. By positioning itself as a critical intermediary, Broadridge manages the friction points that arise when traditional financial processes meet distributed ledger technology. Recent strategic moves include partnerships with Ondo Finance for synthetic voting and Galaxy Digital for native on-chain voting. Furthermore, a new agreement with Alpaca Securities expands Broadridge’s reach into governance and shareholder communications for crypto-native custody networks. This strategy demonstrates how established financial infrastructure providers are capturing value by solving operational challenges for institutions adopting tokenized assets.

Tackling proxy plumbing issues: how tokenized securities are moving from theory to boardroom agenda -

During a Governance Intelligence briefing, experts from Latham & Watkins and Broadridge Financial Solutions emphasized that tokenized securities are legally identical to traditional stocks, representing a shift in record-keeping rather than asset class. Zachary Fallon and Rob Krugman argued that tokenization is now a board-level priority, as it offers the potential to expand the investor base from millions to billions through 24/7 global trading. While the SEC has provided a more supportive environment since early attempts in 2013, secondary market trading and regulatory clarity remain the primary hurdles for widespread adoption. The panel highlighted that smart contracts could revolutionize corporate governance by automating dividend payments, stock splits, and proxy voting. By replacing legacy systems like the DTCC with blockchain-based records, companies can achieve greater transparency and eliminate complex reconciliation issues. Major institutions, including the NYSE, Nasdaq, and the DTCC, are actively developing infrastructure to support this transition. Ultimately, the experts urged public companies to begin internal education and strategic planning now to prepare for a future where native digital issuance becomes standard.

Galaxy Pioneers Full Ownership Rights in Tokenized Stocks

Broadridge Financial Solutions has expanded its governance platform to provide proxy voting and corporate action management for tokenized securities. This infrastructure allows public companies, broker-dealers, and institutional investors to manage both traditional and tokenized assets within a unified workflow. Galaxy, the first U.S. public company to issue native tokenized equity on a public blockchain, will utilize this platform for its upcoming annual shareholder meeting in May. The system records proxy votes on Broadridge’s Avalanche-based Layer 1 blockchain before distributing them across multiple networks. By consolidating registered, beneficial, and tokenized holdings into a single view, the platform eliminates fragmentation in corporate governance. This development is significant for the RWA market as it bridges the gap between traditional market infrastructure and blockchain-based ownership. Broadridge currently processes $8 trillion in tokenized assets monthly, and this integration marks a critical step toward scaling digital asset adoption in public markets.

What's Driving the Tokenization Revolution in Equities - Kavout

Galaxy Digital has pioneered the tokenization of its SEC-registered equity, GLXY, on the Solana blockchain, marking a shift from wrapped tokens to native issuance. This initiative aims to enhance capital market efficiency by enabling 24/7 trading, fractional ownership, and atomic settlement. Beyond trading, Galaxy Digital is collaborating with Broadridge and Superstate to implement on-chain proxy voting for the upcoming May annual meeting. This pilot utilizes Broadridge’s Avalanche-based Layer 1 chain to provide a transparent, verifiable record of shareholder votes, addressing inefficiencies in traditional proxy systems. By integrating these features, the project seeks to bridge the gap between traditional brokerage holdings and decentralized finance, allowing tokenized shares to serve as collateral. These developments represent a broader industry trend toward reimagining financial infrastructure, supported by major entities like the NYSE and NASDAQ. Ultimately, this evolution promises to reduce administrative costs and improve corporate governance, though it remains subject to ongoing regulatory scrutiny from the SEC.
