NYSE taps Broadridge to enable shareholder voting on blockchain

NYSE has selected Broadridge, a major Wall Street provider of shareholder voting and corporate services, to bring shareholder voting onto blockchain rails for the exchange's upcoming venue. The move would put investor rights onchain, marking a notable step in the tokenization of traditional market infrastructure by one of the world's largest exchanges. Broadridge's role is significant given its position as a key voting and corporate-actions processor for Wall Street, giving the initiative established operational credibility. Details such as which blockchain the venue will use, the scope of voting rights to be tokenized, and a launch timeline were not disclosed. Watch for further announcements on the underlying chain, regulatory approvals, and which issuers or brokers adopt the onchain voting system first.
