Key Figures
Historical Context
24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent news has produced modest price moves, with platform and governance enhancements generally followed by small gains, while a crypto-connectivity announcement saw a sharper negative reaction.
Over the past month, Broadridge issued several announcements highlighting brand leadership, digital-asset connectivity, governance innovation, and capital returns. On March 4, it advanced Pass-Through Voting across >600 funds and >$8 trillion in assets, and on March 6 it declared a quarterly dividend of $0.975 per share, which coincided with a 3.14% gain. A March 9 Crypto.com NYFIX integration saw a -4% move, suggesting market sensitivity to crypto-related initiatives. Today’s on-chain governance news extends that digital-assets roadmap.

Galaxy pioneers full ownership rights across traditional and tokenized holdings
"We've long believed that tokenization will reshape capital markets, and this is a meaningful step towards a tokenized equity market," said Mike Novogratz, Founder and CEO of Galaxy. "Proxy voting is a core feature of equity ownership and bringing proxy voting on-chain 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."
"Ensuring accurate, scalable, and cost-effective governance has never been more critical to supporting the growth of tokenized equities," said Tim Gokey, CEO of Broadridge. "Today's announcement highlights Broadridge's unmatched ability to support market leaders like Galaxy with innovative solutions that support their tokenization roadmap. It also marks another step towards our goal of extending our leading tokenization capabilities with a suite of solutions across investor communications, proxy voting and trading."
The platform introduces corporate actions for tokenized assets, starting with proxy voting, which will be recorded on Broadridge's Avalanche based L1 and then distributed across multiple blockchains. Integrating Broadridge's ProxyVote platform into digital wallets, investors can receive materials, confirm their holdings and submit votes, all with a transparent and verifiable record.
To simplify the annual meeting process for public companies issuing tokenized shares alongside traditional shares, Broadridge's solution consolidates voting across registered, beneficial, and tokenized holdings into a single view for issuers. This "single pane of glass" approach removes fragmentation and enables consistent oversight of governance activity regardless of how assets are held. The platform is designed to support all forms of tokenization, including both issued-sponsored tokenized securities and third party-sponsored tokenized securities, ensuring compatibility with evolving market models.
Today's announcement underscores Broadridge's commitment to accelerating the adoption of digital assets across the financial services landscape. Building on its industry-leading role in tokenizing
