Broadridge Financial Solutions has announced that its unified governance platform will support shareholder communications and proxy voting for eligible holders of xStocks.
xStocks is a tokenised equities framework developed by Payward Services, the B2B infrastructure platform from Payward.
Eligible holders of supported tokenised securities available through Payward Services' xStocks tokenised asset framework will securely authenticate to ProxyVote.com using Web3 authentication, review proxy materials for the underlying securities, and submit their proxy voting preferences through a seamless digital experience, says the firm.
The firm adds that the experience brings established trusted governance capabilities investors expect from traditional capital markets into blockchain-native ecosystems while preserving the accessibility and efficiency of tokenised assets.
Mark Greenberg, chief commercial officer and global head of Payward Services, says: The endgame for tokenisation was never just building faster programmable capital markets. It's about giving people across the world everything that comes with owning a piece of a company, including a voice in how it's run.
“Working with Broadridge is a step in that direction, unlocking opportunities for xStocks holders to participate in corporate governance, while closing the gap between tokenised equities and traditional shares.”
Doug DeSchutter, president of Investor Communication Solutions business at Broadridge, adds: “As tokenised securities continue to reshape global capital markets, investors should not have to choose between blockchain innovation and shareholder rights.
“By extending our governance platform to support xStocks, we are enabling eligible token holders to have a voice in corporate governance and extending our leadership in digital asset governance.”
