New York – September 12, 2026 -- Broadridge Financial Solutions (NYSE: BR) has launched DLX, an end-to-end tokenization and digital asset infrastructure platform designed to let financial institutions operate across tokenized and traditional markets through a single connected layer.
DLX links to the DTCC Tokenization Service via Canton at launch
The platform launches with connectivity to the DTCC Tokenization Service through the Canton network, with additional network integrations to be announced. DLX covers issuance, trading, settlement, servicing, custody, governance and distribution for asset classes including bonds, equities, funds, private markets and money market instruments within one operating framework.
Platform builds on a repo business processing $350 billion daily
DLX extends Broadridge's Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR) capability, which the company says processes more than $350 billion in daily activity across thousands of transactions for collateral mobility and securities financing. Broadridge describes DLR as the world's largest institutional platform for settling tokenized real assets, tokenizing over $351 billion a day.
Modular architecture serves issuers, banks, asset managers and wealth firms
Under DLX, issuers can mint, service and distribute tokenized instruments, while banks and broker-dealers can connect issuance, trading, settlement, custody and market infrastructure workflows. Asset managers can tokenize and issue funds on-chain and automate lifecycle processes, and institutional and wealth management firms can access eligible tokenized products including funds, equities and fixed income instruments through existing advisory and platform models.
Orchestration layer supports self-custody, third-party and hybrid custody models
An institutional orchestration layer sits at the center of DLX, combining tokenization, smart contract services, trading and execution, settlement, books and records, custody, wallet infrastructure, and connectivity to digital asset markets, payment rails, compliance providers and custodians. Clients can select self-custody, third-party custody or hybrid custody arrangements based on their business strategy, risk framework and regulatory requirements.
"Tokenization is increasingly becoming the foundation of more programmable, connected and always-on financial markets," said Horacio Barakat, Global Head of Digital Innovation at Broadridge. He said DLX gives market participants an accelerated pathway to operating on chain while retaining existing controls and operating models.
Broadridge's platforms already underpin $18 trillion in daily trading
Broadridge's technology and operations platforms process over 8 billion communications annually and support daily average trading of more than $18 trillion in tokenized and traditional securities globally, according to the company.
