Broadridge and Payward Add Shareholder Communications and Proxy Voting to xStocks

Subscribe to our newsletter

Broadridge Financial Solutions is adding shareholder communications and proxy voting to its unified governance platform to support eligible holders of xStocks, a leading tokenised equities framework developed by Payward Services.

“As tokenised securities continue to reshape global capital markets, investors should not have to choose between blockchain innovation and shareholder rights,” says Doug DeSchutter, President of Broadridge’s Investor Communication Solutions business. “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.”


Payward Services currently offers more than 500 tokenised assets across equities, ETFs and pre-IPO offerings, and with tokenised equities from several international markets slated to follow soon. 

Eligible holders will securely authenticate via ProxyVote.com using Web3 authentication, review proxy materials for the underlying securities, and submit their proxy voting preferences. The functionality brings established trusted governance capabilities that investors expect from traditional capital markets into on-chain ecosystems while preserving the accessibility and efficiency of tokenised assets.

Designed for interoperability across blockchains and platforms, xStocks move seamlessly between centralised exchanges, self-custodied wallets, and on-chain applications, unlocking new utility across trading, collateralisation, and decentralised finance (DeFi).
