Key Terms

2 terms

tokenized securities technical

"NYSE's (NYSE) tokenized securities platform"

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.

smart contracts technical

"NYSE will leverage Broadridge's governance smart contracts"

Self-executing digital agreements whose terms are written as code and stored on a distributed ledger so they run automatically when preset conditions are met — like a vending machine that releases a snack only after you insert the right coins. Investors care because smart contracts can speed up transactions, cut middlemen, reduce errors and fraud, and create new ways to issue, trade or enforce financial assets, which affects costs, risk and regulatory oversight.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Broadridge (NYSE: BR) today announced plans to bring on-chain shareholder governance and digital transfer agency services to New York Stock Exchange's (NYSE) tokenized securities platform, scheduled to launch following regulatory approval. These steps demonstrate the NYSE platform's interoperability and marks the next phase of its development and Broadridge's commitment to bringing world class governance and transfer agency services to token investors and public companies.

"Broadridge is building the governance layer for tokenized equities, ensuring investors have access to trusted, institutional-grade governance. We're pleased to bring these capabilities to the NYSE's tokenized securities platform. We're also making it easier for issuers to participate by bringing our digital and traditional transfer agency services and proxy voting capabilities together in one solution—regardless of how shares are traded or where they are held," said Tim Gokey, CEO of Broadridge.

NYSE will leverage Broadridge's governance smart contracts, connecting tokenized securities to meeting agendas, voting rules, and verifiable results. The framework supports proxy material distribution and digital wallet authentication linked to verified voting entitlements, helping investors exercise their shareholder rights as ownership moves on-chain. Investors can participate in Broadridge's on-chain governance services through supported wallets, broker interfaces or ProxyVote, based on their preferences.

"Tokenization has the potential to transform the manner in which issuers interact with their shareholders," said Lynn Martin, President, NYSE Group. "Onboarding Broadridge's digital transfer agency service marries trust and innovation, and partnering with NYSE advances our goal of connecting tokenized trading, clearing, and shareholder governance across a more unified ecosystem."

The integration of Broadridge's digital transfer agency service expands the NYSE platform's connectivity with digital transfer agency services, giving issuers greater choice in how they bring their equities on-chain. Broadridge's services will enable NYSE-listed issuers to tokenize their stock for trading on NYSE's tokenized securities platform—connecting issuer services with digital trading infrastructure.

The partnership between Broadridge and NYSE brings together stock tokenization, transfer agency services, shareholder communications, proxy voting, and digital identity capabilities to connect tokenized stock ownership with the infrastructure that supports public company governance.
