Broadridge Financial Solutions, a fintech firm for institutional securities markets, announced it has expanded its platform to support tokenized securities alongside traditional assets. The system now handles tokenized equities, funds, alternative assets, and money market instruments across trading, order routing, and post-trade operations. It connects to both public and permissioned blockchain networks, including Ethereum-compatible chains and Canton.
Broadridge also said it has launched an Agentic AI platform for capital markets and wealth management workflows. Its Distributed Ledger Repo platform currently tokenizes over $365 billion in assets daily, while its broader infrastructure processes more than $15 trillion in securities transactions each day. The expanded system allows institutions to process tokenized and traditional assets using the same settlement, reconciliation, reporting, and compliance workflows.
Separately, Franklin Templeton and Kraken parent Payward announced a collaboration on tokenized investment products and institutional digital asset infrastructure. They plan to explore tokenized yield-focused products and integrate Franklin Templeton’s BENJI tokenized money market funds into Kraken’s platform. Payward’s xStocks tokenized equities framework has processed over $30 billion in trading volume since launching last year.
Meanwhile, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) revealed plans to integrate Chainlink infrastructure into a blockchain-based collateral management platform for near real-time settlement and asset movement.
Data from RWA.xyz shows tokenized real-world assets distributed on blockchain networks have grown to over $32 billion, led by tokenized Treasury products, commodities, and private credit markets. Tokenized US Treasury products alone have reached nearly $16 billion, driven by offerings from BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Ondo Finance.
