Broadridge Launches DLX: The New Operating System for Global Tokenized Markets

Quick Summary

Broadridge DLX is an institutional-grade tokenized asset infrastructure platform that enables financial firms to issue, trade, and settle digital assets. It bridges the gap between traditional finance and on-chain markets, providing a unified operating layer for programmable financial instruments and 24/7 transaction capabilities.

How Does Broadridge DLX Simplify Tokenized Market Operations?

Broadridge DLX functions as a connected operating layer that unifies on-chain and off-chain activities. By providing institutional-grade workflow orchestration, the platform allows banks and broker-dealers to connect issuance, trading, and settlement without managing fragmented infrastructure. The system is designed to reduce operational complexity by integrating directly with established market systems like the DTCC Tokenization Service via Canton.

• Multi-chain enablement for diverse digital ecosystems.
• Programmable smart contracts for automated asset servicing.
• 24/7 transaction capabilities to meet modern market demands.

What Asset Classes Are Supported by the DLX Platform?

The platform offers a consistent governance framework for a wide variety of financial instruments. Financial institutions can utilize this tokenized asset infrastructure to manage bonds, equities, and funds, as well as private market and money market instruments. This versatility ensures that asset managers can tokenize investment products and connect them directly to institutional and wealth management distribution channels.

• Collateral mobility powered by proven ledger technology.
• Hybrid custody models including self and third-party options.
• Distribution access for institutional and retail wealth models.

What Results Has Broadridge’s Ledger Technology Delivered?

DLX is built on the proven foundation of DLR (Distributed Ledger Repo), which currently processes more than $350 billion in daily activity. This scale demonstrates that the underlying tokenized asset infrastructure is capable of handling high-value institutional market activity in a live production environment. The platform effectively abstracts away technical complexity, allowing firms to focus on asset issuance and distribution rather than the nuances of blockchain maintenance.

"Tokenization is increasingly becoming the foundation of more programmable, connected and always-on financial markets," said Horacio Barakat, Global Head of Digital Innovation. "DLX gives market participants an accelerated pathway to operating on chain without sacrificing the controls, connectivity, and operating models they rely on today."
