Ondo Finance partners with Broadridge to add proxy voting rights to over 250 tokenized securities

Ondo Finance has announced a partnership with financial infrastructure provider Broadridge to grant shared proxy voting rights and access to corporate documents for holders of tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This move aims to address a longstanding gap in blockchain-based securities: investor participation in governance.

Expanded rights and access for investors

According to a statement released on Thursday, investors holding more than 250 tokenized securities issued via Ondo can now participate in proxy voting and obtain corporate documents, including regulatory notifications. This enhancement is designed to let investors engage not only with the price action but also with the underlying corporate processes of the assets they hold.

Glossary: Broadridge is a US-based infrastructure firm that provides technology for the financial sector, covering investor communications, proxy voting, and back-office operations. Proxy voting allows shareholders to participate in general meeting votes either directly or by assigning voting rights to someone else.

Web3 integration for streamlined governance

The new service integrates Broadridge’s investor communication platform in a Web3-compatible manner. Investors can verify their identities via blockchain wallets and, in turn, gain access to governance features typically reserved for direct shareholders in traditional markets.

Tokenized shares enter a new era

Tokenized stocks have attracted growing interest among digital asset platforms looking to bridge traditional financial products with blockchain technology. While this model offers benefits like faster settlement and 24/7 trading, it has left questions about how closely investors could approximate the rights of classic shareholders.

Ondo Finance will introduce these governance capabilities with its first US-custodied tokenized securities, including tokenized versions of BlackRock’s iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and Micron Technology stock (MU). These assets are reported to be among the first issued under the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s third-party custody framework for tokenized securities.

Rapid growth in the tokenization market

Ondo is among several firms seeking a share of this fast-growing market. Backed Finance, which offers tokenized stocks through its xStocks platform, recently expanded its scope, bringing products to multiple crypto exchanges and blockchain networks.

According to company data, the tokenized stock market has grown nearly fourteenfold since May 2025.

Tokenization has emerged as one of the fastest-growing trends in the crypto asset sector heading into 2026. A recent 21Shares report ties this momentum to accelerating institutional adoption and more robust infrastructure. Binance data also highlights that the total value of tokenized real-world assets, including stocks, has surged by around 600% over the past year.
