NYSE and Broadridge bring blockchain voting to stocks
6.9 Banking NYSE partners with Broadridge to bring on-chain governance and streamlined shareholder voting to its tokenized securities platform, enhancing transparency and efficiency, pending regulatory approval.
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is advancing its tokenized securities platform by partnering with Broadridge Financial Solutions and expanding its network of transfer agent partners, including Computershare, Equiniti, and Superstate Inc. Broadridge will deliver on-chain governance, digital transfer agency services, and smart contracts that link tokenized securities to meeting agendas, voting rules, and verifiable results. This integration aims to streamline shareholder voting, communications, and record management as stocks transition to blockchain rails. The NYSE's initiative, pending regulatory approval, highlights a commitment to merging traditional finance with blockchain technology. The platform will support both tokenized and conventional shares, enabling a gradual shift to blockchain-based systems. These developments underscore growing institutional interest in tokenized assets and could drive broader adoption and regulatory compliance in digital asset markets.
