Broadridge Financial Solutions, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BR, announced plans to bring on-chain shareholder governance and digital transfer agency services to NYSE's tokenized securities platform. The platform is scheduled to launch following regulatory approval.
Why it matters
The partnership links stock tokenization, transfer agency services, proxy voting and digital identity in one framework, which could let NYSE-listed issuers tokenize their stock for trading. Tim Gokey said Broadridge is building the governance layer for tokenized equities.
