Broadridge and Payward Services Unite to Empower Tokenized Equity Holders

Broadridge Financial Solutions has collaborated with Payward Services to give holders of xStocks, a tokenized equities framework, a voice in corporate governance. This partnership aims to close the gap between traditional stock ownership and tokenized equities.

xStocks is the industry-leading tokenized equities framework developed by Payward Services. It brings publicly listed equities onchain through fully collateralized, 1:1-backed tokens. With this collaboration, eligible holders of xStocks can submit voting preferences for shares underpinning their tokenized equities using Broadridge's unified governance platform.

The experience provides a seamless digital experience, bringing established trusted governance capabilities to blockchain-native ecosystems while preserving the accessibility and efficiency of tokenized assets. Eligible holders will securely authenticate to ProxyVote.com using Web3 authentication, review proxy materials for the underlying securities, and submit their proxy voting preferences.

This partnership is part of Broadridge's continued investment in digital asset governance and reflects the company's vision of extending trusted shareholder communications and voting capabilities across the evolving tokenized securities landscape.
