DLX is the operating system for tokenized finance, combining multi-chain enablement, a programmable smart contract composer, 24/7 transaction capabilities, integrated distribution, and institutional-grade workflow orchestration across traditional and on-chain markets
NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Broadridge (NYSE: BR) today announced the launch of DLX, a fully integrated, end-to-end tokenization and digital asset infrastructure platform that enables financial institutions to operate across tokenized and traditional markets through a connected operating layer for on-chain and off-chain activity. Launching with capabilities to connect to the DTCC Tokenization Service via Canton and other networks, with broader use cases to be announced in due course.
“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.”
Building on Broadridge’s established Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR) capability for collateral mobility and securities financing, which processes more than $350 billion in daily activity across thousands of transactions, DLX extends Broadridge’s tokenization infrastructure into a broader, multi-asset platform for issuance, trading, settlement, servicing, custody, governance, and distribution. By connecting tokenized workflows and a growing partner network with established market systems, DLX helps firms reduce the complexity of operating on chain, supporting asset classes including bonds, equities, funds, private markets, and money market instruments within a single, consistent framework for tokenization, governance, and operations.
Market Infrastructure for Tokenized Markets
DLX supports the full lifecycle of tokenized assets through a modular, multi-chain architecture enabling participants to issue and distribute their own tokens and participate in markets for tokens issued by others.
- Issuers can mint, issue, service, transact in, and distribute tokenized financial instruments.
- Banks and broker dealers can connect issuance, trading, transaction orchestration, settlement, servicing, custody, and market infrastructure workflows.
- Asset managers can tokenize and issue funds and investment products on-chain, automate lifecycle processes, and connect with institutional, intermediary, and wealth management distribution channels.
- Institutional investors can access and transact in eligible tokenized products, including tokenized funds, equities, fixed income instruments, and other financial assets.
- Wealth management firms can integrate access to eligible tokenized products and on-chain market capabilities into existing advisory, platform, and client service models.
By connecting issuers, investors, intermediaries, asset managers, and wealth distribution channels through a common platform, DLX is designed to reduce fragmentation across the tokenized asset lifecycle and expand access to new distribution models.
Institutional Orchestration Across On-chain and Traditional Markets
At the center of DLX is an institutional orchestration layer that brings together tokenization, smart contract services, trading and execution workflows, settlement, books and records, custody, wallet infrastructure, and connectivity across digital asset markets, payment rails, compliance providers, custodians, and distribution channels. This allows firms to integrate tokenized asset activity into existing operating models without having to manage the complexity of fragmented on-chain infrastructure themselves.
DLX supports self-custody, third-party custody, and hybrid custody models, enabling clients to determine how assets are held and administered based on their business strategy, risk framework, and regulatory requirements.
Built on a Proven Foundation
DLX builds on Broadridge’s experience operating DLR at institutional scale. As Broadridge’s proven at-scale capability for collateral mobility and securities financing, DLR demonstrates how distributed ledger technology can support high-value institutional market activity in production.
DLX extends that proven foundation beyond a single market use case into a broader modular platform for tokenization, trading, settlement, servicing, governance, custody, and distribution.
