4 terms

tokenized securities technical

"cryptocurrencies and tokenized securities alongside traditional investments"

A digital representation of a traditional financial asset—such as a share, bond or fund—recorded on a blockchain or similar electronic ledger so ownership and transfers are tracked automatically. It matters to investors because tokenized securities can make buying, selling and dividing assets faster, cheaper and available around the clock, potentially increasing liquidity and allowing investors to buy smaller slices of expensive assets, while also introducing platform, custody and regulatory considerations.

distributed ledger technical

"Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR) solution"

A distributed ledger is a digital record of transactions that is shared and synchronized across multiple computers or locations. Unlike a traditional record kept in one place, it allows many parties to see and verify the same information simultaneously, making it more transparent and harder to alter. This technology matters to investors because it can increase trust, reduce the need for middlemen, and improve the efficiency of recording and verifying transactions.

View in glossary

omnibus financial

"including omnibus and segregated wallet structures"

A financial omnibus is a single account or record that a broker, custodian, or intermediary uses to hold or process the assets and trades of many underlying clients together instead of keeping separate accounts for each person. Think of it like a communal mailbox where individual letters are pooled for efficiency; it matters to investors because it affects how trades are cleared, how ownership is tracked, and how allocations and privacy are managed behind the scenes.

proxy voting regulatory

"including both retail and institutional proxy voting"

Proxy voting is a process that allows investors to have their voting power on company decisions exercised by someone else if they cannot attend meetings in person. It ensures that their opinions are still represented, similar to authorizing someone else to vote on their behalf at an election. This helps investors influence company actions even when they cannot be physically present.

Unified platform enables advisor-led and self-directed access to cryptocurrencies and tokenized assets alongside traditional investments

NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Broadridge, (NYSE: BR) today announced the expansion of its next-generation digital assets platform for wealth management firms to the U.S. market. The platform provides wealth managers a unified way to offer cryptocurrencies and tokenized securities alongside traditional investments. Building on the platform's availability in Canada, Broadridge enables U.S. broker-dealers, registered investment advisers and wealth managers to incorporate digital assets into their existing wealth offerings through a unified operating model.

Supported by a growing ecosystem of providers, initially Anchorage Digital and Galaxy Digital, the platform supports both cryptocurrencies and tokenized securities issued and serviced through new and established market infrastructure, enabling firms to add new assets and transaction types to systems and workflows they already use.

"Digital assets are moving from the margins to the mainstream investment conversations for U.S. investors, advisors and wealth managers," said Tom Carey, Broadridge's Global Head of Product and Technology. "Our platform helps firms extend the trusted wealth experience they already provide to include digital assets, while managing the operational complexity behind the scenes. By bringing traditional and digital investments together in a single environment, we are helping clients expand investor choice while maintaining the controls, service model and experience their businesses require."

Beginning with Anchorage Digital and Galaxy, the platform's growing ecosystem of custodians, wallet infrastructure providers, liquidity providers, and compliance partners gives firms flexibility as their digital asset strategies, client needs and market connectivity requirements evolve.

"Crypto is no longer a side conversation in wealth management, it's the conversation," said Nathan McCauley, CEO and Co-Founder of Anchorage Digital. "As American's first federally chartered digital asset bank, we're proud to bring institutional-grade custody and settlement to Broadridge's platform, so U.S. wealth managers can offer their clients digital assets with the same trust and rigor as everything else in their portfolios."

"As a global leader in digital assets, Galaxy is pleased to combine its digital asset market infrastructure and capabilities with Broadridge's established wealth management platform as the company expands its next generation digital asset capabilities to US wealth management firms," said Mike Novogratz, founder and CEO of Galaxy.

Broadridge's integrated digital asset capabilities include:

• Support for cryptocurrencies and tokenized real-world assets, including equities, funds, and private or alternative investments via DLX, Broadridge's market-leading tokenization and digital assets infrastructure platform
• Flexible support for both advisor-led and self-directed wealth management models
• Integration with existing Broadridge or Third-Party books and records systems enabling firms to leverage existing integrations and downstream services such as regulatory reporting, statements, confirms and tax
• A unified client experience that brings traditional and digital assets together, with integrated disclosure, governance and compliance-support capabilities, including both retail and institutional proxy voting and critical regulatory disclosures
• Integrated wallets and institutional-grade custody, including omnibus and segregated wallet structures and multi-custodian capabilities
• Infrastructure designed to support the continuous, always-on nature of digital asset markets and operations

For U.S. wealth managers, the opportunity is not simply to add a new investment option, but to integrate digital assets into established client, advisor, operations and supervisory workflows. Broadridge's platform is designed to simplify processing across trading, custody, asset servicing, communications, governance and proxy voting, helping firms deliver a more cohesive experience throughout the investment lifecycle.
