Ondo Expands Tokenized Voting Push In Broadridge Tie-up

Ondo Finance has partnered with New York-based Broadridge Financial Solutions to enable proxy voting for holders of tokenized securities, marking a further step in efforts to align digital assets with traditional market infrastructure.

The collaboration will allow investors holding tokenized stocks and ETFs on Ondo’s platform to participate in shareholder votes, a right that has typically been difficult to replicate in blockchain-based markets.

"By working with Broadridge, we are enabling holders of our on-chain tokenized stocks to access governance and voting capabilities, with all the additional benefits on-chain tokens provide," said Matthieu de Vergnes, MD, Global Head of Institutional at Ondo Finance.

Holders of more than 250 Ondo tokenized stocks and ETFs will gain access to prospectuses, regulatory documents, and other governance materials for the underlying assets through Broadridge’s new Web3‑enabled platform.

The partnership will use Broadridge’s established proxy voting systems to deliver institutional-grade governance capabilities to digital asset holders. By linking token ownership records with established voting infrastructure, the firms aim to ensure investors can vote in corporate actions without leaving the blockchain environment.

Doug DeSchutter, President, Investor Communication Solutions at Broadridge, highlighted how the move is designed to address one of the more persistent criticisms of tokenization: that ownership does not always confer the same governance privileges as conventional securities.

"By introducing proxy voting capabilities to blockchain-based securities, Ondo and Broadridge are helping define the next generation of market infrastructure — one that bridges the investor protections of traditional finance with the programmability and global accessibility of public blockchain,” he said.

Broadridge added that investor participation is “a cornerstone of healthy capital markets,” and that extending these capabilities to tokenized assets was a “natural evolution” as the sector matures.

While tokenized securities have grown quickly as firms push for more efficient, transparent markets, questions over investor rights remain.

Ondo’s vision is that this partnership helps close that gap, as demand rises for blockchain-based access to equities and ETFs.
