Galaxy Digital announced a partnership with Broadridge to use its on‑chain governance platform for the company’s May 2026 annual meeting and shareholder vote. The platform will enable proxy voting, corporate actions, and disclosures for both traditional and tokenized securities within a single workflow, leveraging Broadridge’s Avalanche‑based L1 solution to record votes on a public blockchain.
The on‑chain system will provide a transparent, verifiable record of votes for holders of Galaxy Digital’s native tokenized equity. By integrating Broadridge’s infrastructure, the company can manage all governance activities—proxy voting, corporate actions, and disclosures—across both conventional shares and the tokenized version, ensuring consistency and auditability for all stakeholders.
Galaxy Digital is the first U.S. public company to issue native tokenized equity on a major public blockchain. The company previously partnered with Superstate in September 2025 to tokenize its SEC‑registered Class A common stock on the Solana blockchain, setting a precedent for tokenized public equity. The new Broadridge partnership builds on that foundation by adding a robust governance layer to the tokenized shares.
Mike Novogratz, Founder and CEO of Galaxy Digital, said, "We've long believed that tokenization will reshape capital markets, and this is a meaningful step towards a tokenized equity market. Proxy voting is a core feature of equity ownership and bringing proxy voting on‑chain for a public company is not theoretical anymore. With Broadridge, we're combining the credibility of traditional market infrastructure with the advantages of blockchain to deliver a more efficient model for shareholders." Tim Gokey, CEO of Broadridge, added, "Ensuring accurate, scalable, and cost‑effective governance has never been more critical to supporting the growth of tokenized equities." He also noted, "Today's announcement highlights Broadridge's unmatched ability to support market leaders like Galaxy with innovative solutions that support their tokenization roadmap. It also marks another step towards our goal of extending our leading tokenization capabilities with a suite of solutions across investor communications, proxy voting and trading."
The partnership represents a significant step forward for the integration of blockchain technology into traditional corporate governance. By providing a single, on‑chain workflow for proxy voting and corporate actions, Galaxy Digital and Broadridge are demonstrating a practical, scalable model that could encourage broader adoption of tokenized equity. Broadridge’s existing infrastructure—processing an estimated $8 trillion in tokenized assets monthly—positions it as a key enabler for public companies exploring blockchain‑based governance solutions. The move also underscores the growing momentum behind tokenized equity, as more firms seek to combine the liquidity and programmability of digital assets with the regulatory certainty of traditional securities.
