How Broadridge brought corporate governance for tokenized equities onchain.
The infrastructure provider behind $15T in daily trading and 200M+ investor accounts extended its proxy-voting platform onchain, and is now the governance layer for every tokenization model recognized by the SEC.

The Scale of the Problem
Tokenization has outpaced the governance plumbing it depends on.
Proxy voting, corporate actions, and disclosures still run on legacy rails designed for registered and beneficial holders, not for a hybrid market where the same security can sit in a brokerage account, a custodial platform, or a digital wallet. Broadridge sits at the center of that plumbing and is rebuilding it.

AvaCloud Solved the Problem
Onchain proxy voting, with the same controls Broadridge already runs at scale.
Galaxy (NASDAQ: GLXY) is the first U.S. public company to issue native tokenized equity on a major public blockchain. For its May 2026 annual meeting, Galaxy will use Broadridge's platform to bring proxy voting onchain, not as a pilot, but as the production system of record.
Votes are recorded on Broadridge's Avalanche-based L1 and distributed across multiple blockchains. Materials, holdings confirmation, and vote submission flow directly through investors' digital wallets, integrated with Broadridge's existing ProxyVote and ProxyEdge platforms.
Within a month of the Galaxy announcement, Broadridge extended the platform to support every tokenization model the SEC recognizes, issuer-sponsored, third party-sponsored, and third party-custodied, making it the governance layer for the full hybrid market.
"Bringing proxy voting onchain for a public company is not theoretical anymore. With Broadridge, we're combining the credibility of traditional market infrastructure with the advantages of blockchain to deliver a more efficient model for shareholders.", Mike Novogratz, CEO, Galaxy

Single Pane of Glass
Issuers see one consolidated view. Investors get one consistent voting experience.
Audit-grade controls, vote accuracy, and information-security standards apply identically across every column.
Who It Serves
Four audiences, one workflow.
The hybrid market only works if every participant gets the same audit-grade governance regardless of how the asset is held. Broadridge designed the platform around four very different sets of needs.
Retail
Retail investors
Vote onchain and off-chain holdings through ProxyVote. Same experience across brokerage accounts, apps, digital wallets, and direct ownership.
Institutional
Asset managers
Manage voting for tokenized and traditional securities through ProxyEdge, extending existing workflows and policies into digital-asset holdings without disruption.
Issuers
Public companies
Manage proxy and corporate actions across registered, beneficial, and tokenized shares with one holistic view and a single set of tools.
Distribution
Broker-dealers
Support new asset types using existing trusted capabilities: integrated reporting, auditability, compliance, and controls, no rebuild required.
Results
What's actually live in production.
These are not projections. Galaxy's annual meeting is the first public-company shareholder vote conducted through this infrastructure, and the platform is now the governance layer for every tokenization model the SEC recognizes.

Avalanche L1 on AvaCloud
Your tokenization roadmap needs a governance layer.
Broadridge proved that proxy voting, corporate actions, and disclosures can move onchain without breaking the controls that institutions depend on. The same AvaCloud-managed L1 model is available to any market-infrastructure provider extending traditional rails into digital assets.
