Ondo Finance Partners with Broadridge to Introduce Proxy Voting for $700 Million in Tokenized Equities

On April 28, 2026, Ondo Finance announced the introduction of proxy voting features for holders of its $700 million in tokenized equities and ETFs. This move is seen as closing one of the final gaps between digital assets and traditional brokerage accounts, marking a significant evolution in the Real-World Asset (RWA) ecosystem.

Through a landmark partnership with global fintech leader Broadridge Financial Solutions, Ondo Finance users can now exercise shareholder rights directly from their digital wallets. This is the first instance of granting substantial governance rights to holders of over 250 tokenized stocks and ETFs.

The core of this announcement lies in elevating the functionality of tokenized equities to the level of traditional brokerage accounts. By extending these voting rights to third-party tokenized stocks, Ondo Finance has demonstrated that digital assets can carry the same legal force and rights as their underlying assets.

This integration signifies that tokenized assets have moved beyond being mere price-tracking tools and have entered a stage where they are guaranteed the same rights as the actual underlying assets.

The technical implementation is carried out through Broadridge's Avalanche-based Layer 1 network. Once corporate voting information is recorded on this network, it is distributed to investors across various blockchains supported by Ondo Finance, such as Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain.

Technical Integration and Multi-chain Support

Investors can receive proxy materials, verify their holdings, and participate in voting through their digital wallets. With Broadridge's ProxyVote platform directly integrated with digital wallets, an infrastructure has been established to allow participation in on-chain governance without complex procedures.

• Recording and managing corporate actions via Broadridge's Avalanche L1
• Distribution of voting rights to investors on Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain
• Real-time asset verification and voting process based on digital wallets

Ondo Finance currently holds an overwhelming market dominance with approximately 70% share of the tokenized equity market. Total Value Locked (TVL) of over $700 million and more than 250 asset classes are now directly impacted by this introduction of voting rights, affecting tens of thousands of asset holders.

This update follows the expansion of access to equity perpetual futures and IPOs announced at the 'Ondo Summit' in February 2026. Through a distribution partnership with MetaMask, Ondo Finance is providing an institutional-grade investment experience, enabling users to manage over 200 tokenized stocks and participate in governance.

The Real-World Asset (RWA) sector has experienced explosive growth since surpassing the $10 billion mark in late 2024. While tokenized assets have previously faced criticism for being forms of assets stripped of underlying rights, the addition of voting rights is expected to further strengthen the value proposition of tokenized assets.

Regulatory Compliance and Global Expansion Outlook

Ondo Finance is expanding its global footprint by extending services to the European market through a recent collaboration with Blockchain.com. Amid ongoing discussions by regulators regarding direct issuance models, this introduction of voting rights is interpreted as a strategic move to achieve both regulatory compliance and technical innovation simultaneously.

In the future, the RWA market is expected to enter a new phase beyond simple asset digitization, moving toward the on-chain enforcement of legal rights. Ondo Finance's move is anticipated to set a new standard for other tokenization platforms and drive the maturity of the entire market.
