Broadridge Financial Solutions reported that its Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR) platform processed an average of $354 billion in daily repo transactions during March 2026, bringing total March volumes to nearly $8 trillion. The daily average represents a 392% year‑over‑year increase, underscoring the rapid adoption of tokenized settlement in the repo market and the platform’s role as a key infrastructure provider.
The March milestone follows a February 2026 announcement that the DLR platform had processed $6.9 trillion in February, with a daily average of $362 billion and a 457% year‑over‑year jump. Compared with March 2025, which saw significantly lower volumes, the March 2026 figures illustrate a sharp acceleration in institutional demand for tokenized real‑asset settlement.
Broadridge’s tokenization strategy is now extending beyond its traditional proxy and communications services. The DLR platform’s growth positions the company for future revenue expansion from tokenized asset settlement, reinforcing its status as the world’s largest institutional platform for settling tokenized real assets and strengthening its competitive advantage in a market that is expected to grow alongside the $10 trillion repo market.
A recent whitepaper found that 15% intraday DLR use could reduce intraday liquidity buffer needs by 8‑17%, highlighting the practical benefits and efficiency gains that the platform delivers to financial institutions. This operational advantage is a key driver of the platform’s rapid adoption and a tailwind for Broadridge’s broader digital‑asset initiatives.
Broadridge has been actively investing in digital‑asset capabilities, including on‑chain proxy voting, governance, and post‑trade infrastructure. The company announced “Live with On‑Chain Governance for Tokenized Equities” on April 6 2026, just days before the March volume announcement, underscoring its commitment to expanding the tokenization ecosystem.
The DLR platform’s performance is a fundamental pillar of the global repo market, and its continued growth signals a shift toward more efficient, transparent, and liquid settlement mechanisms. Broadridge’s leadership in this space positions it to capture a growing share of the tokenized asset settlement market and to drive long‑term revenue growth from its expanded digital‑asset portfolio.
