Broadridge Financial Solutions has launched DLX, an institutional digital asset platform designed to connect tokenized securities with existing financial-market infrastructure. DLX provides a unified operating layer covering issuance, trading, settlement and servicing across on-chain and traditional environments, extending Broadridge’s existing presence in institutional tokenized markets.
According to Broadridge’s official DLX announcement, the platform launches with capabilities to connect to the DTCC Tokenization Service through Canton and other networks. The architecture is designed to let financial institutions operate across multiple blockchain and conventional systems without building separate infrastructure for each market.
DLX Connects Tokenized and Traditional Markets
The platform combines multi-chain enablement with a programmable smart contract composer, 24/7 transaction capabilities and integrated distribution. Institutions can use DLX to create, issue, distribute and service tokenized financial instruments while coordinating workflows across different settlement environments.
Custody is also designed to remain flexible. DLX supports self-custody, third-party providers and hybrid arrangements, allowing institutions to select structures that fit their regulatory and operational requirements. The platform therefore treats custody as a configurable component rather than forcing every participant into the same digital asset model.
DLX also incorporates governance functionality for tokenized equities, including shareholder communications and proxy voting. That layer addresses a part of tokenization that extends beyond issuance and trading by preserving corporate-governance functions associated with securities ownership.
Broadridge Builds on $351B Daily Repo Network
The platform builds on Broadridge’s Distributed Ledger Repo infrastructure, which already operates at institutional scale. In August 2026, DLR processed an average of $351 billion in repo transactions per day and $7.4 trillion during the month. Integrating DLR into DLX brings proven tokenized collateral and repo workflows into the broader digital asset platform.
DLR supports tokenized collateral across repo, intraday financing and collateral movements while remaining connected to existing trading and post-trade processes. Its inclusion gives DLX an operational foundation built on live institutional transactions rather than solely on experimental tokenization pilots.
Broadridge expects to expand DLX with additional networks and use cases as the rollout progresses. The launch signals a move toward treating tokenized assets as another component of institutional market infrastructure, with interoperability between blockchain and traditional systems becoming more important than reliance on any single ledger.
