Alpaca and Broadridge Launch Governance Solution for Tokenized Securities | LeapRate
Alpaca, an agent-first brokerage infrastructure, and Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (NYSE: BR) announced Monday the integration of Broadridge’s governance infrastructure into Alpaca’s Instant Tokenization Network.
The partnership is said to introduce proxy voting, investor communications, voting entitlement reconciliation, and regulatory disclosures across Alpaca’s platform, with the aim of helping investors retain the rights, transparency and protections they expect in traditional capital markets.
Yoshi Yokokawa, Co-Founder and CEO of Alpaca, said tokenization “has the potential to expand access to global capital markets, but it must preserve the investor protections that market participants already expect.”
He added that the partnership combines modern tokenization infrastructure with trusted governance capabilities.
Doug DeSchutter, President of Broadridge’s Investor Communication Solutions business, called the announcement “an important step forward” in enabling the adoption of tokenized equities alongside institutional-grade governance.
Broadridge currently powers investor communications and shareholder engagement for more than 200 million retail and institutional investor accounts globally.
Alpaca will continue providing regulated brokerage infrastructure, including custody and clearing services, while Broadridge will handle shareholder governance services.
The companies believe this will help maintain accurate shareholder records and voting entitlements as tokenized assets are issued and held across multiple blockchain networks and intermediaries.
Institutional investors can integrate voting for tokenized equities into existing governance workflows, while retail investors can access eligible meetings through ProxyVote.com.
